Logistics limit on starbases?

How does one's Logistics ability influence the number of free starbases one can make? I looked in the manual but can't find any such limit documented anywhere. Is it that Logistics=number of free starbases? Once you exceed that number, does each new starbase cost a fixed amount (800bc or so in my current game), or does that price increase with each "extra" starbase?

Great game, BTW! Thanks in advance for any responses.

The cost of a starbase is based on the number of starbases you've already built and how big the galaxy is. It is reduced by your logistics ability.

What is the formula for calculating the cost?

LOL....this question comes up way too often on these forums. You knew it was coming...

Hmm, I'd also like more details on the formula. Or at least some rough guidance on how many "free" starbases I can plan for in various galaxy sizes. I'm still pretty new to GC2, so perhaps I'll learn by playing more, but a formula sure would be nice!

Wow, been almost a year and still no answer?

I'm curious as to how Logistics affects SBs too....
