Ship Yard Basics for new se4 Players
Ship yard rates can be improved in many ways, in your Space Empires Game.
When creating your Races Attributes:
Workers or Engineers Culture Selection.
Increased Construction Aptitude in the Characteristics Selections.
Hardy Industrialist from the Traits selections.
In Game:
Always raise your Colony population up with Pop Transports or Starliners.
Keep your Colonies happy.
Up Grade to level 2 Ship Yard Tech; as soon as you see the Ships Production start to lag, this will happen when you start installing expensive components.
It is wise to be at a decent Ship Yard rate when you Plan to use Stellar Manipulation.
Also
never retrofit all your Base Ship Yards or Base Repair Station at the same time, by doing this you lost that Bases abilities to contribute in the over all retrofit.
In regards to Base Repair Stations, they should be designed and built as soon as you feel your ships will need repair, and always try to have one built prior to retrofiting many ships with engines, do to the number of engines on each ship.
~~~
With above said, and with out acquiring any of the above Construction Attributes, you still will be right were the designer intended.
Above will make you stronger in the Construction Category, but you may loose some strength in the other Categories.
