So having a few space stations around a planet means you can build weapon platforms, troops, mines, and fighters?

That's great. I thought they'd have to use their own cargo space, and that was just too much trouble.

If you mothball a Ship Yard base, will it start building the very same turn it is unmothballed? Or will it take a turn to 'heat up' the way ships have no movement points when first unmothballed?

This is the first thing i do when i get decent size planets (>20 facilities): build a couple (2/3) of small spacestations with a spaceyard on them. I then use them to construct weapons platforms, mines, sat, fighter ...
Very effective. I think some AI's don't build enough on them. It seems as if they only focus on planetary shipyards.
