Do you mean a 'second' family of space yard facilities, with the very first one having no space yard abilities? That might work if you can get the AI to build only the first one every time, even when the later ones are available. I guess the thing to do is put the 'special' ability like 'armor' on only that first one. So, you'd have a single 'family' of secondary space yards, with the firts one having 'armor' and no other abilities an the others having the same abilities as normal space yards. Hmm.

The only thing is, if this works it kills the advantage of the temporal races having a faster space yard.
