Neat idea but construction bonuses don't apply to spaceborn shipyards.

Much better idea is a planetary shipyard on EVERY planet. Once you have your system capital identified in newly conquored space build a shipyard on the nearest tiny moon. That way you get your bonuses and you can load up mines, fighters and whatever you wish onto freighters/minelayers/Carriers/transports.

I agree completely that the sheer number of options in this game is wonderful in that there are so many different ways of doing things. However, some things are much more effective than others.
