Happiness, Population, and Hardy Industrialist do not affect space yards, but the rest do.

I am pretty sure that population does affect spaceyards construction rate. Proof: check out the "abilities" tab on various planets with different population and settings.txt.

population also affects resource production.

happiness affects resource production.

I'm pretty sure that they meant shipyard components, not planetary shipyards.

Slick: SJ meant that population doesn't affect base space yards and space yard ships.

Hey, it might be easier if we all start calling them SY comp(onent) and SY fac(ility)....

Maybe????

I was thinking "Planet Yards" and "Space Yards" at the time.

Sorry.

Is Range a factor in combat?

Yes. Each sector beyond range one is another -10% to hit.

You can see this quite clearly if you turn on Show To Hit Chance in Tactical Combat. I forget offhand which Options menu has that toggle.

It's commonly claimed that weapon range doesn't matter in Ground Combat, but I'm not convinced yet. (I have a vague memory of reading somewhere that it's factored into the to-hit chance.)
