Resupply Depots are now the second facility after Spaceports to be built in a new system. Although this doesn't appear as the only hiccup for expansion, but it does seem to help somewhat.

Captain Kwok, with all due respect I think it is more logical to build the Resupply Depots first. Either way it is six turns until the colony is building "revenue" generating facilities, assuming no emergency build. If you build the Resupply first then 3 of those 6 turns the planet will be generating supply and ordnance. If the Spaceport is 1st then it just sits there providing no value for 3 turns while Resupply is being built.
The one exception that I use is when another very high value planet in the same system will be colonized and have it's first facility complete in less than 6 turns. In that case I will build the Spaceport first, but only if I need the resources pretty urgently. Probably too complex a decision for the AI though.
