I’ve had at least two games where I’ve either found the place in ruins or seen it get destroyed. The first time had three Goron Behemoths in the vicinity and a smattering of First Hunter ships for good measure. I’m pretty sure the First Hunters were only relevant because of the Manticores, though. Between them missing Sabretooths and Cavebears with high-end MAGs (though why a Makayev-Energia ship is fielding Rasiermesser weaponry at its own primary shipyard is beyond me, and beside the point right now anyway) and a few dead (or about-to-be-dead) Goron Behemoths nearby, I got to see what probably happened to the one I found already blown up firsthand.
 Maybe I’ve just had a few really odd games, but that seems a bit… well… odd. Sure, its hit points are a pretty beefy 1.5k, but plasteel armor is practically tissue paper given the firepower it’s likely to face — both from hostiles and its own guards. Advanced plasteel or, taking the Manticores’ aim into account, blast plate would probably be more adequate armor for a shipyard that significant.

Fixed in 1.8 Beta 3 (EP 1.1.13) Changed to super-heavy blast plate and upped its regen.
