Don't you "Pay" for the ship whille it is in the "Q" ?

Why would you? The ship is nothing more than some pencil marks on a piece of paper in some yard manager's in-box until it gets built

In SE4, you don't even have to pay maintenance until the ship is completed, and appears as a separate object in the game that can be given orders.

It might be nitpicking, but this button also upgrades constructions in progress. I often start building a shrine I or II whilst I research for III, upgrade facilities. Sometimes it is necessary to hold the queue for a couple of turns.
