Suggestion: Shipyards on Ships

[Shalmon]

Please make Shipyard Computers avaible on ships. (And while you are on it, factories as well)

I really want to build a big mothership/carrier that can go places and repair smaller ships or reprocess the materials I harvest on my journey through the universe.

There is no reason why a big ship should not be able to manage those facilities. (Maybe bump up the power use, to prevent them on small ships)

Then what would be the point in creating stations at all???
I think the devs would like to implement this but itd have to be given pros/cons as well as some balance changes

If you are not on a multiplayer server, you can try this:

I'd have to say no to this as well. If you want a mobile shipyard, build it on an asteroid, and use logic to fly the beast.

Expect shipyards to be available in some capacity as an option for capital ships; so in the future you won't be entirely restricted to just space stations for your ship construction. But you'll need to work your way towards the construction of a capital ship. Other additional features will be available only to capital ships, (i.e. FTL) but the exact implementation of what makes capital ships a worthwhile investment vs the difficulty in working your way to constructing one is all still yet to be fully fleshed out.
