Its presumed the "Build" the large military ships, as they can, from time to time, be seen in them.

I think Norfolk has a Battleship being built there. Now, I doubt that they're gonna let you buy one of those now, don't you think?

Officer! I swear to drunk I'm not God!

Welcome to HELL!!!

Welcome to HELL!!!

I know aren't shipyards suppose to make ships and sell but you never see a ship in the shipyard?

Welcome to HELL!!!

I know, but you'd still think they'd sell small ships, wouldnt you.

Maybe not, I mean, Ford doesn't sell dumptrucks does it?

By the very nature of it, a ship yard "Builds" ships, but would not sell them. The US navy has ship yards, but they do not have docking places for the ships. They are taken to ports for that, so any ship built in a FL ship yard would logically be sold else where.

Wouldnt it be more economical to sell them on site saveing you shiping charges?

Yes I love to fly a tub . Would you like to fly my titan

as finalday stated shipyards is were the work is done and ports would be were the fun is . The reason for that is the same for factories, a item is bulit at the factory then shipped to were the public is at. not too many people would visit a shipyard for the sole porpose to buy a ship. To overhaul them yes but to have a dealership on the shipyard would just get in the way of the workers.

Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

I think because, (except if you use mods,) the game will never let you use a big ship, for instance a battleship. Because you would never be able to to anything except crash into things. You never stop the momenttum you get with one of those things. Or dock.
Shipyards are meant for big ships, like cruisers. Not little itty bitty 1-man craft.

yeah, I guess, but they should still sell smaller ships
