Ship Yard
The Ship Yard is where players can build ships for their fleets.
A Ship Yard is required to buildproduce ships. You don't need a Ship Yard to create fleets if there are already ships on your planet. At game start, your home planet already contains an Outpost Ship that you can use to colonize another planet.
Only one type of ship can be builtproduced at any one time. Any number of ships can be builtproduced at any one time. Here is the List of Ships you can produce.
Building multiple ships does not add additional time to the default production time for the type of vessel being produced.
