Parallel ship production.

[karolus10]

I wonder if there is any way to speed up production by parallel construction of ships in star-bases, for example by expanding star-base with multiple assembly yards of certain class.

Also I would be glad to know how assembly time is calculated, is it tied to planet population, resources cost or it's entirely arbitrary?

I don't think this works. It seems space ports can only build one ship at a time.

Modular assembly like the newest US CV is built could be nice.

Keeping in mind that it's perfectly possible that the ability exists, and we just haven't seen it yet, this seems to be the case.

Seems a bit silly, from an expectations standpoint, but there's probably a good balance reason behind it. For now, parallel production requires multiple starbases.

I suspect it is tied to the mineral cost of the ship, then adjusted by modifiers (governors, assembly yards, government, etc).
