Ah.. excuse my excursion into a thread in which I do not belong, but I have to disagree there.

Base Ship Yards are useful because there isn't a limit to how many you can have. A sweet planet may be able to build your Anti-Proton Beam Battlecruiser in four turns, while it takes the Base Ship Yard seven. But build ten Base Ship Yards over that sweet planet, put them on Emergency Build and you'll get twenty ships in ten turns, while the sweet planet can build three in those same ten turns.
