when does construction happen ?

Hi, I was wondering when exactly construction happens in a game turn (simultaneous turns).

I'll give the scenario:
I have just built a carrier, the question is now, can I have that planet produce fighters, and then set the cariers orders to load-fighters and then move, will the fighters be ready in time or will I have to wait another turn ?

Construction happens at/very near the end of the turn. So you will have to wait until next turn before your fighters are built.

Incidentally, it means you cannot protect a colony on the turn it is created, unless you have deployed defences there beforehand.

crap... ah well, thanks for the info, better loose a turn in transit then to loose more because I sent an empty carrier to the front.
