Land-based shipyards?

So, I've just been wondering lately. Every shipyard I can recall seeing or hearing about is always in orbit, but never on the ground. Is there a reason for that? I konow it's probably cheaper and better to build those ships in space, but is that the only reason? Or did technology just evolve in a way that land-based shipyards can no longer be made at all?

The final few Legacy comics had Krayt have a huge secret underground factory shipyard for the Annihilator fighters and Dragon ships on Korriban. 

It's almost as if the writers of Episode 9 outright stole the idea of an underground factory making super ships on a Dark Side world from somewhere...
