Summary0000506: Modular ship fabricator
DescriptionThe Modular Ship Fabricator makes vessels just big enough to hold a turret.
They are similar to the riot starships where you can build any desired turret on them, except they can only hold one and the desired turret must be researched.

The Modular ships can only have turrets up to MKII so that they are not over powered, but allow certain turrets to be mobile that do not exist on mobile ships. Such as a counter sniper turret or a graviton turret.

I would imagine to prevent having these ships from becoming more powerful than existing bonus ships, the attack and range of the turrets would be cut in half.
Also, these turrets will not be allowed to be placed on them due to complexity or just to big:

Sniper/Spider Turrets
Heavy Beam Turrets
Lighting Turrets
MLRS Turrets
Tachyon Turrets
Tractor Turrets

To allow the ships to keep up with regular fleets of ships of a wide variety I think the speed should be 24.

I'm not sure if the ship would provide supplies to the turret or if the turret would require supplies to the planet to operate, So I'll let the developers decide.
