Upgrading Starbase HP

from GalCiv2 Forums
As ships evolve in size and in HP, I was wondering if was possible to increase the HP of starbases ACCORDINGLY with ships' HP (A 2000 HP starbase against a - or a small fleet of - 20 HP frigate is nonsense). Doing this, the starbases could defend itself well against fleets of larger ships, so the dozens of constructors you use on them don't go waste. However, in the GC2Ships file, only one type of starbase is allowed and so, only one hull can be assigned to it.   I've tried several things and nothing works well... Someone can help me?

Sorry, there is currently no way to enhance a starbase's HP through adding modules. Just by editing the hull itself, which changes it for all starbases all the time as you've seen.

That's really too bad, it should really give the starbase a few levels everytime a constructor gets to it in order to beef up its HP at least.. but I have no way of knowing if starbases can even gain levels.

Yes, actually they do. It's rare since my fleets usually intercept ships long before getting to the bases, but on the off chance one does make it through, they do gain experience. May even be worth it to let some ships through just to let bases gain experience.....
