When your spaceyard was attacked you could try and defend it with your half-finished ships, in the SEIV system you'll have to wait until your ship is completed before you can use it..

Yes, I thought this was much more realistic. You could attack a ship-building center and destroy ships before they were completed. Now they just magically 'pop into existence' when they are paid for. Weird...
But at least they don't vanish when they are mothballed. You can destroy mothballed ships very easily. Hmm, I wonder if ECM is active on a mothballed ship? |
