I think shipyards should be limited to planets and bases only.
Ships should only have repair bays.

that would definitly change the gameplay. you could make the SY component 1000KT, it would then only fit on baseships, battlestations, and starbases. you could not put one on a DN or starbase. I would of course expect it to have slightly higher construction characteristics then, still not equal to a planets, but then it does not get planetary bonuses either.

That would make it impossible to build Ringworlds and Sphereworlds

You could always change the size of ringworld/sphereworld components to fit on a baseship, or make a bigger ship size.

I did this in my own data set already. I did not change the size of space yard components. I just changed them in Components.txt from "Vehicle Type := Ship\Base" to "Vehicle Type := Base". I then changed the size on all the ring/sphere world related components to 1300, so they will fit in a base ship.
