The Slipway level, where ships are built, refitted, repaired and scrapped at the Racial Shipbuilding Rate, and the Shipyard level, where extra slipways are constructed, extra capacity is added and retooling is carried out, also at the Racial Shipbuilding Rate. In effect, a Shipyard Complex has two distinct levels. This simulates a shipyard getting ready for future construction while completing work on existing shipyard tasks. The Shipyard may be retooled (see below) to build a different class of ship and this does not affect any ships currently under construction but once retooling is underway, no new tasks can be started. Additional Slipways and extra capacity for existing Slipways are built by the Shipyard Complex itself (without affecting the building of ships).Įach Shipyard Complex is dedicated to building a specific class of ship and may build one of that class in each Slipway. When completed, the Shipyard Complex has a single Slipway with a capacity of 1000 tons. The cost of a Shipyard Complex is 2400 BP and it is built using industrial capacity (construction factories in v4.8). fighters, can be built in your factories see the Industry tab).
Properly planning your fleet construction can save you time and costs, as sometimes similar classes can be build in the same yard without first retooling - see Assigned Class below.Īll ships greater than 500 tons have to be built in Shipyard Complexes (everything of 500 tons and below, i.e. Keep in mind that a shipyard usually can only produce one class of ships at a time, and that retooling for a new class takes considerable time and money, so building more shipyards is a better way of quickly expanding a fleet with many different classes than adding slipways to existing yards.
You begin with only a small building capacity, so you should invest in building more shipyards and expanding their capacity. This is where your fleets are being built.
