As Trachmyr said space yards should have size limits on what they can build. But I don't think in the way he wants it. Space Yard Facilities should not be able to build anything bigger then 600kT (Battle Cruisers) and Space Yard Components should be more powerful and be able to build the biggest ships. Either they should be so powerful as to be better then a SYF with max pop bonus or they should get the pop bonus from the planet they are orbiting. I'd prefer simple raw power.

Why like this? Look at the size of the bigger ships. A BB is 800 000 Tonnes ship designed for use in deep space, not on a planet. It can't handle the stress of gravity when landed and just boosting the thing into orbit would cause heavy pollution.

At least that's my opinion. Maybe I placed the cutoff wrong (600kT) but it needs to be there imo.

Edit:
Forgot, I want to be able to build stuff in pieces like cargo and assemble on site (bases to deploy at warp points). Or at least tow the bases around.
