Yes the space yard capacity is a bottleneck for production in SE IV, but IMHO this is a good change MM made in comparision to SE III where you could build a star destroyer in one or two turns if you had enough resources. In SE IV you are forced to make more long term plans for your construction. And if I want multiple space yards I build several space stations with space yards on this location.
Actually, in SEIII, although you can buy a heap of ships in one turn, what you end up with the next turn are a heap of ships that have all unbuilt components, and it will take you a long time to assemble the ships into anything useful, during which you must pay maintenance costs. Without mods it always takes several turns to build a large ship in SEIII, which is not always true in SEIV.
