Since when was it really planet-based?
I don't know about the other players, but when I was playing in the PBW B5 game, at least 95% of my construction power was from BSYs.

It seems like most other people shy away from the idea, but when you have 30-50 bases over your homeworld, you can produce a hell of a lot of ships in no time.
Yeah, but that left you with the idea that it was realistic in B5 terms to have 30-50 ships in production at a time... but that space-based yards were much less efficient than planet-based ones. Which lead to the old problem of planets being restricted artificially to one ship at a time. The space-based yards basicallt just completed "hulks" to be finalized by "modernization" upgrades. Made the whole design system suck, since the bulk of designs would be obsolete when finished.
