So.. this is going to be a weird one. Before we start, I just spotted some rather large potential loopholes or things that need clarifying. Better safe than sorry, futureproofing and all that. These sort of need to be answered, if anyone or @Wes can.
1 - If you have a ship capable of mass fabrication can it create other ships? Shipyards only cover "Installations or starships that are capable of building capital ships and/or warships", not anything under that in size.
2 - Do mobile shipyards, if large enough, count as a "major presence" for corporation buildup limitation when landing on a planet? If they're the size of a factory?
3 - What if you make a mobile shipyard with multiple fabrication areas, not one, can you build more than one thing at a time? What if it's not an "installation or starship that is capable of building capital ships and/or warships"?
4 - If you have one huge fabrication area can you sub-divide it into smaller spaces? Make several fighters in one area rather than one and wasting all that space?
5 - Can mobile shipyards be scaled to meet the sizes of what they're making? Is there any reason not to make them dreadnought-sized?
Cheers, before we have any pseudo aether-stomboli happening.
