I tend to build SY bases and then keep retrofiting them up at the same time as they build more SY bases - which in turn get retrofited up while they build more. its good if you have pleanty of resorces.
Originally posted by Slick: Just to be clear, they must be unmothballed at the time you generate the ringworld or sphereworld. In simultaneous games, this means you should give the unmothball order the turn before the ringworld/sphereworld base completes so that you can generate the rw/sw on the next turn.

Lol, if you attempt it when you don't have plenty of resources then the next empire that comes along with a bigger fleet deserved to beat you
In some mods Base spaceyards have a seperate component that builds faster than their mobile counterpart, i've found it easier to use them in such mods as once the sphere/ringworld is created you should have enough resources to scrap them or make them build Weapons Platforms by the max! Has anyone captured a sphereworld loaded with weapons platforms before?

Well it takes some time to build the facilities to get these resources. In fact, for these huge worlds, A LOT of time... so it really is more a matter of extravagance than of any strategical significance. But still nice to build them
