Ok, so I have upgraded the Constructor in my game to move quicker - nothing like being 100+ hexes from your ship port and have to create a long queue of upgrades which then take an additional 20 rounds just to arrive, so I made a super fast Constructor(Forumator), which is fine for when I manually use them, but would want the auto upgrade of a base to use them.

Maybe related question is: if I have spare formulator (beacuse now each formulator counts as 2 units) next to a starbase can I use it to upgrade manually the starbase rather than going tointo starbase manage and select modules, which then get autogenerated? I ask because I know I can steel a forumator on the way to a starbase and use it to create another starbase or shiphanger? Ok just tested this and yes the Constructor next to a starbase if docked will improve it.
