My ship designs

Can someone perhaps explain the prefabricated part to me? I tried moving a prefabricated one to mars together with a few construction factories to assemble them. But it seems I wasn't able to because it needed more minerals. So I canceled it and and lost the prefabricated parts for some reason.

The explanation's simple - they're buggy  They don't quite fit into the mechanisms for consuming minerals to build other stuff, so Steve's had a hard time getting all of the possible code paths right to cover the various things that might go wrong.  Not a slam on Steve - it's just one of those things....

The biggest problem is that your Jump Cruiser is too small, it is only 6000 tons and has a 10000 rated jump engine and the missile ships are 10000 tons. As it can only jump with ships of its own size or smaller you need a 10000 ton jump cruiser

Pad the jump ship with fuel tanks and/or magazines.  That way the fleet can keep in fuel and ammo longer.  More armor wouldn't hurt either (nothing like losing your ride home).

That I did not know.

Thank you kindly.
