multiple starbase in same sector

Should multiple starbases in the same sector compliment each other? By mid game, most of my sectors with planets had starbases maxed on def/production/trade.
Over 3 turns, I sent 15 constructors to a nearby planet. I then built a 2nd starbase in 1 turn. My class 28 planet stats before: 27+27, 22+22, 59+163. There is a penalty for starting a 2nd starbase. After my constructor became an unimproved starbase, planetary production dropped to: 19+7, 15+6, 59+163. After building starbase with +90 production: same as before: 27+27, 22+22, 59+163. (note: no change in research!)
The encylopedia has no mention of multiple bases in same sector. I feel that a 2nd or 3rd starbase in same sector should compliment each other and add their combined bonuses to the sector's planets and ships.
After all, why cant each star in a sector have its own starbase? Opinions? (BTW, I trying for a Research victory)
