Default Re: more on shipyard use

A spaceyard vessel or base can launch units on its own, so long as you have the space to put cargo and/or launch components on board the ship (a spaceyard base could have a Spaceyard, the needed components, one Minelayer and one Cargo bay for example).
That much I had done but I regretted the space used. For the expense of a shipyard Id rather use other spaces for protection. What I would rather do is create a "warehouse" Version to sit next to it with just cargo space and launchers. If that gets taken out then its not such a big loss.

Plus, as the early game progresses I can create a ship of cargo and sat laucher, then later one with cargo and mine launcher, cargo and drone launch, cargo and fighter launch, as I research each of them. Even in later game I think it would work better than adding all of the launchers on a shipyard. In fact, if I use transports for each I can even move the stuff around abit.

So apparently fleeting or having them in the same location will provide this ability in most cases. Good to know.
