Noob to TOR Question about Starbases

September 16, 2008 2:57 PM from

Just purchased TOR. Long time GalCiv2 player. Love the new features, especially the predefined ships. It was a real pain having to build new designs with every tech discovery. Neutral about espionage, kind of liked the old way. Terror stars seem to be useless, a lot of work to destroy one star. I have a problem with starbases though, I can't seem to add modules to them! Even after researching starbase techs. Am I missing something? I've noticed that the other races aren't upgrading their starbases either. Also, when is a patch going to be released?

Well, let me ask this question first. Are you trying to upgrade an ascension crystal star base? These bases cannot be upgraded at all.

As for the AI not upgrading it's star bases, it often doesn't devote much time early on to the additional techs for them since in comparison to a navy a star base is weak.
