Prior to 4.0, shipyards and starbases updated once improved.  To be more specific, a mining starbase would immediately update the mined amounts immediately after building a mining improvement.  And a shipyard would immediately update "turns to build" after adjusting the sponsor list.

There is a trade-off.  Also prior to 4.0, planets didn't properly reflect updated stats after rushing buildings, and now they do.  I like that about the planets.  I would also like to have the shipyards and starbases updating properly again.

Thanks.
