In-game description:
"Allows production of spaceships and defenses. A higher level means quicker production.
This large facility is where all spacecrafts and defensive structures are constructed, assisted by nano-robots if available, reducing production times. At higher levels, the shipyard has more production options and production times are reduced."

Production Time[]
The time to produce any ship or defense depends on the level of the Shipyard as well as the level of the Nanite Factory. Each ship and defense has a different base time which is dependant on its total cost in resources, excluding gas (i.e. only metal and crystal). The base time in seconds can be determined as follows:
To then determine the actual production time, you need to take into account the improvements due to leveling your Shipyard and Nanite Factory:
Exact Reduction Times[]
For Lv.2: -66.66666... etc
For Lv.5: -83.33333... etc
For Lv.6: -85.71429012345679 based on Death Star with 900:00:00 to 128:34:17 turned into 3,240,000 sec to 462,857 sec.
For Lv.8: -88.88888... etc
