I can't see your image, it's giving me an error: can't find my.bmp.

As for a fighter construction base, the way I would build it:

Secure territory factory:
-Basic requirements
-One SY (max tech)
-Fill up with Cargo bays

Every now and then, you just transfer cargo to the planet and launch the units from there (10,000 per turn max)

The thing that annoys me most about unit factories is the fact that you cannot have the factory auto-launch every unit it builds. Thus, I am always getting "out of space" Messages and waste tons of resources and time.
