	How do I build bigger spaceyards? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

How do I get the viceroy to build more spaceyards so I can build battlecruisers and want not.

right now I can only build lightcruisers.

Any help will be appreciated.

to do it manually, its in your military queue. check the items that appear to the right. there pictures looks like buildings, and theres no little arrows next to there names (unlike the scouts/ships/etc). be careful and dont confuse them with missile base/fighter base/beam base/planet shield

to have the viceroy do it: prioritize military and infrastructure.

there probably another broad priority that affects it as well, but I'm not sure what each does exactly just yet

The Pedia tells you that for hulls of size four or larger you need additional structures. They add +1 to the hull capacity of the shipyard, up to size 14.

It's not there. Maybe I don't have the tech yet to do it.

funny i have tech to make cruisers but don't have the build them.

From reading the manual all I thought I had to do was make more spaceyards. It says for every spaceyard you have you can build one more level of ship.

am I right or wrong? and if I am wrong what am I doing wrong?

*edit* didn't see your post there vmxa1, but how do I build more then? i will try and go to the screen and increase or make military more of a priority.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

You have to build the components. I forget what the exact names are, but you start out being able to build a Friigate. Add one of them and you can build a Destroyer, another gets you a LC, and so on. The parts are in your Military Build Queue, same as Ships and Troops.

Usually the Viceroy will always upgrade ship building capabilities overtime as the tech becomes available to you.

You should see a structure in the list of items to build. One of them will be to improve the shipyard, buy some talk about better used of materials or something.
That will get you to the next level, if not then look for yet another item in the list until you have the shipyard up the level of the ship be it Cruiser or battle cruiser or whatever.

Actually I was hoping someone would post the proper order to build ship-building structures. Some of my planets say I can build light cruisers or even battle ships but the build que won't offer anything bigger than a destroyer. I figure I skipped a structure?!

I am not sure about the very early ones, but here goes:

Basic Systems Module
Space environment Module
Matter conversion Module
Material Processor
Automated Assembly Module
Project Management System
Societal Workplace Module
Orbital Access Module
Space Dock Extension
Military Design Center

Is this what you want?

Sorry I missed your last point. You need to research the tech to make the module required to add another level of hulls building.
Researching a given ship, such as Light Cruiser will not let you know how to build the structure. You need to learn both techs and built the latest structure.
Note that the structures are not tied to a level or class of ships. IOW a new planet can have all structures that add hull classes to the shipyard and can choose to build them in any order. They will increase the hull level by one, reguardless of the order you build them.
This is where knowing, which one are easiest to build and cheapest comes in handy. You do not want to start by building a Military Center first on a new planet.
Well actually I am presuming it matters, I have not verified their cost.
