On my current (5.011 vanila) map there are two Anti-Starhip Arachnid fabricators. I have one of them, which allows me to build 49 Arachnids. Would owning both let me build 2x49 Arachnids?

Thanks. Saves me the effort of capturing the second one, which is far from my other objectives.

Yeah, I've made that mistake before.  ;D

The only reason to capture a second fab of the same ship would be if you lost the first one. In the old days there was some (small) value in being able to produce ships in different parts of the empire, but with warp gates even that motivation is gone.
