i've been playing the bsg mod for some time now and seeing how the jupitor battlestar is able to create ships made me wonder if it is possible to have ships with the same construction abilitys as the frig and cap factory?
if it is i think it could lead to some pretty cool gameplay.. 
thx.
Could not do it like the factories, but you can put in abilities that will create the ships similar to the Vasari capital Carrier's abilities (scramble bomber and the replicator).
what about the tech starbase? is it possible to take something from that, or maybe make the starbase able to travel between planets?
nemesis, the tec starbase does NOT move, and the frigate selection buttons would conflict with the orders & fleet buttons(that are needed for movement), and a few of us modders have tried to get a starbase to both move AND build ships, but to the best of my knowledge no one has succeded
harpo
Nope, you need to use the abilities that are mentioned in my first post.
in fact someone has, i found it on the forum and was able to download the file, the only thing missing is the left click move order, right click works fine. 
think i found it in 'moveable starbases'
i was hoping that there would be a file somewhere which indicated what kind of ships/structures has the ability to create other ships?
Your right, it works... just don't research factory when in the dev.exe.
In regards to ships making ships Ryat is correct your only option is abilities.
However, create frigate and clone frigate IGNORE fleet supply making it abuseable (negative fleet supply) unless the created frigates have a limited lifespan. Spawn frigates for frigates and cruisers only will follow fleet supply rules but all the ships will phase jump into the gravity well. Spawning capital ships can work but capital ship supply is ignored so open for abuse as well (negative capital and fleet supply).
im still wondering though, if starbases can be made to travel between planets and if so, can the maximum number of starbases a planet be changed?
I think that including how would be helpful 
If I remember right it is in the planet entities.
i most certainly will 
well then.. that just seem to have solved all my problems! instead of making ships into factories i just do it the other way around. Grrrreat!!
just one final note on the matter.... the - yes - did that count for planet traveling as well??
good question,
to be honest I never attempted that one
will check on it
Nope, looks like that is a hardcode thing
Looks like you need to change the entityType setting to see if that would work.
Have not tested that out by the way.
ill see what can be done, but i'm afraid if i change the entity type it will no longer have the starbase upgrades and thats quite important.
