And, just by the way, it has occured to me more than once that a Space Yard ought to include a Resupply Depot. Surely an industrial complex designed to build and repair ships is going to have the relevant infrastructure to RESUPPLY them, too? Its seems idiotic that you can strand a ship by upgrading it's engines (if it doesn't have supply storage, too) at a space yard planet without a resupply depot.
As I think about this, a space port should also include a resupply depot, and a space yard should include a space port & resupply depot. You would need to make the cost difference sufficient that people wouldn't just build space yards everywhere, though.
