Re: things I\'ve never tested...
So having a few space stations around a planet means you can build weapon platforms, troops, mines, and fighters?
That's great. I thought they'd have to use their own cargo space, and that was just too much trouble.
If you mothball a Ship Yard base, will it start building the very same turn it is unmothballed? Or will it take a turn to 'heat up' the way ships have no movement points when first unmothballed?

In simultaneous, yes.
In sequential turn, you can unmothball, and then give orders to start building right away.

Hehe, Just not forget if you mothballed a space yard ship, you need another one to unmothball it. I made such a mistake once

This is the first thing i do when i get decent size planets (>20 facilities): build a couple (2/3) of small spacestations with a spaceyard on them. I then use them to construct weapons platforms, mines, sat, fighter ...
Very effective. I think some AI's don't build enough on them. It seems as if they only focus on planetary shipyards.

AI NEVER build units on space yard ships 
Only on planets. It is hard coded I think.
