Marty, you must select each base and click the construction icon and add items to the queue. They each have their own construction queue (bases and planets) and need to be activated / controlled seperately.

This is in contrast to SE3 where you added items in the consruction queue at a SECTOR and then all the Space Yards divided up the building projects.

Which brings up an item / request. It would be nice to start building a ship at a base (while the planet is building facilities) then transfer construction to the planet after the facilities are done. IOW, it would be nice to transfer construction projects between yards in a sector. You could o that easily in SE3, but maybe with SE4's new way of doing things (ship has to be complete before it appears - SE3 you get a hull then "repair" components) that it prevents the transfer. No ship yet - no transfer.
