some newbie questions...

[Krelian]

Hi i got recently SE4... i played before SE3 and i have a question... in se3 u could build various space yards in starbases around a planet, and they build the things (like ships) together, reducing the build time.. now in se4 i have bought some space yard ships and i put them all together, but only 1 seems to be working, the rest stay iddle... how can i set up the space yards to make them work together?

Another thing... i like modding the game.. but if i make new ship sises, for example a ship bigger than the baseship, and I make 1 extra level in ship construction, the AI will research that extra level after baseship, and use the new ship sise? If not, where can i teach it to use it? i will have to modify each race one by one in /pictures/races ? or there is some general file that all the races uses to guide themselves?

What things can i make (modding) and the AI will automatically use ? ship components? factorys? mounts? nothing?

Thx, and sorry for the bad english -_-V
