Have been thinking about ship production in ST:O..

In eve-online, you need to build a station before capitol ships production... but all other ships can be built in almost every npc station..

Am thinking of the shipyards in ST:O. Will there be stations needing to be built before hand or will the shipyards already be ingame, and will there be a fee to use them?

They mentioned guilds would be able to build their own starbases and create their own ships....but I'm sure there will be shipyards "crafting stations" that are for everyone to use. Have to have them for people that don't belong to a guild big enough to have their own.

im guessing you would need a starbase before building a shipyard (as the base would/could produce the resources for the shipyard) and even then it would require an economy as Cryptic seem intent on implementing this economy where all factions would need to secure those said resources

Fleets will own shipyards so im assuming that makes it easier and quicker for them to produce their own higher end ships (galaxy sovereign etc) where as solo players are going to spend ALOT of time building their own personal shipyard

I would imagine that some starbases would be provided. Some are hubs for commerce, like DS9. Others would be deep space research or other base of operations like that. And I would imagine that shipyards would be provided somewhere along the way to build ships if you do not belong to a fleet. I would wager some extra bonus or other insentive would exists for those fleets who build their own starbases, research stations, and shipyards, especially if other players use them.

LOL, and I don't know about the rest of you but I'm looking forward to reading the dedication plate on the bridge of my Defiant class starship that reads "constructed Utopia Planitia Shipyards."

I wonder if independant traders or spacers will be included and can retro ships be constructed. Could you imagine constructing a constitution class with advance weapons, engins and shields and shields.

Could different tech be combined to produce a very different ships? Klingon + Romulan = KlingaRom cruisers.:D

well in my opinion...
2 sides of alingment will be avalible in the beginning.
so if there will be a strong economy as developers are aiming for market should provide ships 2 be bought...
cuz they said tat players will be able 2 make custom races, and i hardly imagine klingon empire giving acses 2
a bird of prey someone like ferengy or something similar...
skills or atributes if u like 4 flying diferent race ships is what i am interested..:D
cya all out there m8`s...

I definitely think that some special type of equipment will be needed in order to build ships, likely in the form of shipyards as you stated.

Would be nice if they gave us a little more info about the game, another trailer and so on.

?

As logn as you WAIT until there is a factory available

Update:

Only the core worlds should have the space docks nessacary to build ships. All the materials should have ot be brought in form the outter planets inward.

This would be the basis of a grand economy, and give everyone something to do.

The template was made back in 1975, it was called Federation & empire.
