I think you forgot about Repair Bays. You need a SY to upgrade but a Repair Bay will repair also - in fact, level-for-level, it will repair faster. I always keep a few Repair Bays as well as SY's in my larger 'build sectors' for that reason.

As long as you have at least 1 RB or SY you'll keep repairing. Just move SY's and RB's up to the top of the repair priority lists for optimum useage.....

You cannot upgrade from a design without a space yard to one with a spaceyard anymore. Apparently this was viewed as a cheat. Some people would build a bunch of bases with nothing but basic control components, then upgrade them to BSY and have lots of build capacity in a very short time.
