Question RE: the above.

Is there a specific list of what complexes can and cannot be used in an Outpost?
As far as I am aware, the only complexes that cannot be used in an outpost are currently Merchandising and Factory. Is it possible to build Maintenance and shipyards in an outpost? Or repair complexes?

The following can not be done at outposts:

Production (Factory complexes)
Merchandising (Merch complexes)
Recruitment (Employee/Mercenary/Monestry Complexes)
Markets

All other complexes are valid. Essentially outpost are used to mine/collect resources or can be used a military bases (ship yards, repair and maintenance complexes).

Notes:
-Since you can not have merch complexes you can not sell to local population.
-Outposts have x1.5 wages of starabses so although you can research it costs a lot more than on a normal starbase.
