StarBases Again - Function?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Okay, Before i posted about starbases and how to add modules, thank you to a member to clearing that up. (move another constructor to the base).

But now im having trouble with starbase operation and uses.

Culture bases -extend your "sphere of influence" so your color on the map expands, and i assume that it effects alien planets under it....

Military Bases - Other then the repair function what is thier use?
Example: i had a starbase with a number of ship assit and base attacks with repair, and a few fleets stacked on top of that base...a large enemy fleet came and attacked and bypassed everything (it was as if it attacked the base only, and the other ships just watched) it didnt even go into comat viewer, it was just on the map a few shots and my lovely base was gone....what gives?

What is ship assit and base attack, how do you use these?

Whan you've equiped a starbase with Attack and Defense assist modules, any ships within that SB's range (click on the starbase to see this) will get the bonuses to it's attack and defense values.

So if you have a scout with no weaponry in the range of a military starbase with a beam attack assist of 3pts, and a armor defense assist of 6 pts, that Scout will now have 3 beam atttack pts, and 6 armor defense pts.

Or, at least that's how it SHOULD work.  Let us know if you find instances where the ships don't get those proper bonuses.

Not quite; AFAIK, it boosts the culture power of your planets within its radius (it does not directly effect alien planets).
