Positioning of Shipyard

from GalCiv4 Forums

The screen snapshot below shows my home world (The Pond), the shipyard associated with my home world (Skybridge), and the ships that I just built in the shipyard. Unfortunately, you cannot see the ships because they are behind the star.

I would like to recommend a change to the logic for where shipyards are placed so that they, and the ships they produce, are not hidden behind their star (or anything else for that matter).  Or let us move our shipyards, that would work as well.

Or let us place are shipyards even the initial one, Throw in Civilization Capital as the cherry on top.

I strongly agree with gypsy2299 that it would be nice to be able to place our shipyards when they are created (either when we request the shipyard be created or when the shipyard has been created).  You could highlight the cells that we could choose from as the location of the new shipyard.

The second option would be to allow players to move their shipyards.

Like in GCIII, for me this would be the last resort.
