And having built a critical mass of caravans - build some more!
At about this stage you might well be forgiven for asking why the hell am I building all these caravans?
The answer is hidden in the material above - Spaceship parts are considered to be Wonders (sort of) so the trick is -

• Switch production to a suitable Wonder (Manhatten is normally available)
• Move caravans to that city elect to "Help build Wonder" until you have 80x - City production shields in the bag - where x is 1 for Structurals, 2 for Components and 4 for Modules
• Switch production to SS Struct/Comp/Mod (should now say one turn needed)
• Watch spaceship grow like topsy

If you have enough caravans in place you can build a SS part in every single one of your cities every turn - there is no way the AI can match this.
Good civin'

That's funny, I've played games where an AI civ with 10 cities cranked out 10 space ship parts a turn

They maybe able to match it, but they can't do any better... even with that cheating

By the way, once you've built way too much more than enough caravans.........BUILD FREIGHTS
