Starbase Defense

from GalCiv2 Forums
Im currently on the Campaign of TotA where you get the last shard. I've researched "Starbase Fortification Mark III"

I can build the +30 mass/missile/laser module on my starbases which I gained from the research, but the tech also lists defensive modules Ray Shielding III, Combat Armor III and Missile Defender III. These doesn't show up at all when attempting to upgrade my starbases. Why is that? Can't humans build those or something?

Unless something has changed (which I doubt), Ray Shielding, Combat Armor, and Missile Defender all require I before II and II before III. Not so with the weapon modules.

Do you have the I modules available?

I have researched "Starbase Fortification I" and "Starbase Fortification II" yes. And I can't build any starbase defense modules. Only the defense support ones which I have also researched.

Do you have Battle Stations (Mark I)?

Unless you have already placed "Battle Stations Mark I" on the base, those defensive modules will not be available and will not show up in the build queue.

Thanks, that helped. That module seems kind of pointless when you can build weapon modules with 30 attack each. But now I know it has another use :)
