Newbie building sphere/ringworld question

you can build a cheap starbase in X turns; refit it to a sphereworld base in 1 turn; and then repair it in another turn.

Not in a simultaneous game. You can only refit/mothball/unmothball ONE ship per turn at any given location, and that stuff takes place when the turn is run by the host, you can't do it "realtime" during your turn. IOW if you have 3 shipyard bases at your homeworld, you can STILL only mothball ONE ship per turn at that location.

Simultaneous really bites for that, among several other things, like launching fighters/satellites, transferring cargo...
