Summary0002110: Spawn Fabricators away from wormholes
DescriptionProblem: Fabricators are seeded on wormholes, which makes them vulnerable to anything that can shoot through forcefields.

Proposed solution: Seed them a wee bit farther away from wormholes, so that we are given the opportunity to create a buffer (tachyon posts, gravity turrets, and offensive units).

Although forcefields and lots of ships can help defend against normally dangerous units like bombers, raid starships and eyebots, if given the chance to get even one volley off, can destroy the fab.

Another solution (off the top of my head, no preference to either) is to make them mobile, but unable to use wormholes.

For the moment, I'm okay with this as-is. It's not an unknown issue. Best solution is to take the other side of the wormhole if you really want to protect these in that circumstance, or else go for a different fabricator.
