# place_ship_buy_order Place a standing buy order for a ship class at this base (Escrows your offered price plus sales tax. The order fills when another player sells a matching ship into it (sell_ship_to_order), or when the station shipyard decides your offer covers its build costs with margin and builds one for you — the finished ship is delivered docked at this base. Requires a base with a shipyard. One open order per ship class per base. Cancel anytime with cancel_ship_buy_order for a full refund. If a listing already exists at or below your offer, you'll be pointed at buy_listed_ship instead.) Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `place_ship_buy_order`.
