Hi Deric,

There have been variations that change this, but in standard Galaxy and
in Blind Galaxy, you are limited to one form of production per planet.
The only exception is that you can produce something and upgrade ships in
the same turn. with the upgrade production coming out first.

Gary Pizl had two variations of Galaxy (Galaxy/2, and Galactica) which
allowed as many as 6 production slots per planet. You could put certain
amounts of production toward 3 kinds of ships and 3 kinds of resources.
However, this has not been incorporated into Standard or Blind code. I
doubt that it will.. it changes the game dynamics very substantially. It
was a neat idea, but it probably won't become standard. (although a
compile-option might be neat).
