This can be modded. You can give the stellar manip components the space yard ability, but with no value so they can't actually build anything. This way the game will restrict you from retrofitting to a design that has one.

I suppose it could be a problem doing this. It would allow someone with a stellar manip comp to trigger a retrofit. Although I dount anyone would build ships with stellar manip comps for this purpose. Seems kind of silly when a real space yard is way cheaper.

The only other problem is the AI would probably get confused and try to build stuff in the build queues for these ships. Which would would make the ships not move since a ship can't move if it's got something in it's build queue.

Ok. Use a Dreadnought or Baseship hull and put in a SY component. Doesn't stop much now.
