Okay, once and for all which is it for Shipyard activation.....

Can anyone clarify this??? Two totally different requirements @Paul_Crowther

https://www.elitedangerous.com/update-notes/4-1-2-102 says the following:

Station Services

The requirements for station service activation have been updated to create additional ways to activate them. A complete list for each service is provided below:
  • Shipyard (Note: always requires a minimum system tech level of 35)
    • Tier 2 or 3 port
      • Note: Tech level 35 is immediately granted when a Tier 2 or 3 port is built.
      • Tier 1 Planet Port plus one of the following:
        • Strong link to a Comms Installation or Relay Station
        • Tourist Installation or Bar Installation or Outpost Hub in the same system
  • Strong link to a High Tech Hub or Military Installation or Industrial Hub built in system

One of those refers to the shipyard/outfitting and the other station services such as Universal Cartographics. You can have one active without the other.
 
Primary port: Non-outpost ones grant a shipyard. If your primary port is an outpost...

Looks like there was a tabbing issue on the main website. Tech level 35 is likely 35 net >'s of Tech Level.


EDIT: To summarize, if you have a T1 primary, then build some high tech stuff like surface biolabs. If you have a T2 or T3 primary, it'll come with it!

Has anyone actually built a Military installation or Industrial hub in system and can confirm their outpost has a shipyard? I've yet to see it actually verified.

Outposts never have a shipyard. It says it's for a T1 Planetary outpost! Which are the cheaper T1 surface ports :)

It's quoted above. I dropped the extra word that was irrelevant within the context of the discussion. Anyone who doesn't actually read the thread or context and gets confused is welcome to stay confused. The posts are short and as you've noted orbital outposts never get a shipyard so there's not much room for confusion.

Some of the people who read the forums are experts at it and need very little room to get confused.
