Re: the space yard in a fleet. I can still access the build que from the ships list but I cannot access it from the tool bar on above the main screen. I can't decide if this is a bugg of a natural result of the way "fleets" are managed on the main screen.

RE: Space/Ship yards in general. There is absolutly no reason to not be able to build multiple sship yards on one planet.. This concept has been the mainstay of ship building since the dawn of shipbuilding. Take a place (planet) that is useless for almost anything else and build a huge industrial complex.

With regared to the Super Space Yards from SE III. There were some bugs with those. Hehe I found it pretty funny that I could put one of them at a warp point and build colony ships that would take off and colonize planets with a full load of colonists. I do still think I should be able to build these super yards,, but they should be required to be orbiting a planet or asteroid so raw material is available to do more than repairs. I was in the US Navy and I served on a repair ship. We could repair 7-8 ships at the same time. And some of those repairs could be accomplished while underway. IN SE III I could put a repair ship in the fleet and it would do repairs on multiple ships while the fleet was transiting to a new location. I don't seem to be able to do this at all in SE VI. The game specifically says "no building while moving" but I should still be able to do repairs while moving. True the fleet cannot move while any ship in it is damaged in such a way that it cannot move and to revisit an old suggestion, I should be able to tow other ships. Ok ,, force me to have to put a tractor/repulsor unit on at least one ship or build a specialized tow ship to do it, but let me be able to tow..
