Extend Ship Range with Starbases » Forum Post by Blue_Cube

You can send any ship to the location of a star base, but they do not increase ship range, per sec.

In other words you can send a long range constructor to build a way out star base next to a habitable planet, then you can send a short range colony ship to that location and colonize the planet. The ship you send can only operate in the 5 hex radius of the star base.

starbases do extend the range of your ship a starbase provides the same range as a planet would if your ship has 10 range it can operate anywhere within 10 tiles of any planet or starbase that you own. if your ship has 30 range it can operate anywhere within 30 tiles of any planet or starbase that you own

heres 2 screenshots the first shows a selected constructor with range 14 and its range lines the second is the same shot with the grid turned on to show that the range it can operate in is 14

My mistake, I knew planets were different but I thought star bases were more limited.
