Starbase uses

from Sins Forums

So, I've been putting the beta through it's paces, mostly with advent. The starbases are pretty cheap and fast to build basic, but more costly if you wanna fully upgrade them. So far I've found that my favorite use by far for my starbases is to act as trade ports in non-planet systems to fill in the holes and extend my contiguous trade route to epic lengths. The defensive capabilities are somewhat disapointing given that it's guns have less range than a standard defense turret, and although the longer range spells can put some hurt on, it still would not be too hard to simply fly around.

What have my fellow beta testers been using their starbases for?

I looked there, was mostly bug and balance complaints. I figured a thread about how people were using them was more fitting for strategy. sorry.

Just upgraded earlier to the entrenchment beta earlier and I'm new to the game, having only been playing for around 2 weeks. A question I have:

 

I realise all the features aren't in the micro-expansion yet with it being beta, but I researched hangar defense for a Vasari starbase and I couldn't seem to find the option to add the structure to the starbase. That is normal and not implemented yet or?

It's the third (center) upgrade to the starbase, on the top row.  Granted, I would never actually use it, but I see it and it works fine for me in testing just now.
