Default more on shipyard use

I must be getting brave. Remember Im a newb as far as you guys are concerned.

This also some other things Im messing with. I designed a fueler (escort, no engines, all supply with a couple of solar panels) which seems to work well for a quick refuel of shipyard ships. Leaving it behind in key locations makes for a nice gas-station pump. The 3star nothing-else systems are great for that. In higher traffic areas that I dont own, can a solar-paneled ship hide in a storm and still build up its supply?

For planets, a satellite fueler is faster but for a SpaceDock Ship the escort Version is for lack of launching ability. How do you get around the having to have cargo and launch on a shipyard ship (or base if there is no planet)? Can I create a cargo/launch ship or base and have a yard build sats/fighters/mines/drones? Do they need to be fleeted?
