The questions is: "Is it probable?". It's always possible.

Yes. Although the AI already builds basespaceyards it would be a challange to tell it NOT to build ships at the planetary space yards (since that would only produce inferior ships).

One question for you, though:

If you can't build large ships at the planetary spaceyards, how come you can build a basespaceyard on planets?

The planetary space yards could actually be located in orbit.

I had always just assumed that planet based construction yards were just launcing parts into orbit and assembling them there.

Is it possible? (I guess I would have to split the Ship Yards into two classes to prevent upgrade problems)

As far as I know there's no way to limit the ship sizes a SY can build by only editing text files. New abilities/restricition would need to be hardcoded.

I believe ships are built in the planet. That's why they can be built even if the planet is blockaded. They must use some kind of anti-gravitational lift (the same used to put sat on orbit?) make them leave witho
