"I don't see how the Shipboard Yard can replace the Space Yard as they are specified as either Base or Ship, not both. Anyone else have this problem?

If I make the various "ship type" components different families, then I can't restrict a ship to only 1 per vessel, or am I wrong?"

If the family number is the same, they WILL upgrade. (or downgrade). So make sure they have different family numbers and you should be OK..

If the ship type components are different families, yes, you can't restrict them. However, check to see if you can restrict them even with the same family number- because I think the "one per ship" limit only works for *identical* components.

If not- if it's restricted by family- you can still force them to display seperately by putting components of differing family numbers in between. Not sure what effect this has on upgrading.
