personally, i think thats nitpicking and is a silly idea since construction cruisers dont cost that much anyway, and the time you would spend building the bases would make it a moot point anyway.
You missed the whole point Puke. The generator takes a lot longer to build then the other components, so what you can do is, get a single construction ship to get the whole project going by building TWO spaceyard stations. Use the first one to build the generator and the second one to crank out more construction stations, and use the new stations built by the second station to crank out even more construction stations. You have plenty of time to build those stations while the generator is being built, and if your timing is right, all of your components should finish at exactly the same time.
By the time you finish the second station you can discharge your construction SHIP to do something else. In this way you don't have to waste your "operational" build queues to build construction ships, and if you use your ringworld as a naval base/hub like me then it starts off with enhanced repair/building capacity because of the stations already in place.
