Hello, I was playing a scenario... I captured a planet and finally built a shipyard... But it was not usable... Nor I could take other ships selecting the planet from the enter page (where you choose a ship....)... Always "Shipyard requied" message for some ships....
Why?

just building a sy wont do anything without the proper amount of resources and technology.......
for example:
you cant even take out scout ships that you could from a gate, without having at least 15,000 res on the SY planet...
most likely you didnt have enough resources
the Ship Yard Required text only shows when you are locked into a gate ..... for example if you try to choose a ship like a cruiser from the gate it will say SY required
you must select the planet with sy to use it for your first selection
alot of players that are new ... think that when you dock your ship at a sy it is locked there, since when you select a planet and you have ships that show up white in the select menu and try to select ships in red you are taken to another sy or a gate.....
all you have to do is click on the ship you want then click ONLY ONCE on the planet SY you want to use and you will come out there as long as sy is turned on, and or not blockaded.
if you are building a planet remember to use mining beams on your engineer ship ...... and baracks use up resources to make infantry too
you must take that into account as well... not to mention bombs bring resources down alot also
i hope this answered you question

Check if it has enough power/workers first. If you can't spawn from it check the planets resources. If you can't dock, make sure it isn't blockaded. If none of these check out, take a screen shot with alt-t and post it.

OK thanks you all for your useful advices!
I think it was blockaded (I'm talking about yesterday's scenario...).
I'll use your advices in future...

Another tip.... you need to select the planet that the shipyard is on to spawn bigger ships from. The faction gate will only let you spawn frigate or lower.
