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

That I did not know. :P

Thank you kindly.

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).

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....
