Beta 4 Suggestion: Add sensor modules for Starbases

The scanning range of Starbases suck. I think they can only see 2 squares radius. There should be sensor modules available for Starbases that increase this range.

Your response makes no sense.

The only way it would make probes redundant if it became cheaper to build the constructor, create a new starbase, build the needed constructors to make a sensor platform then it is to build a fleet of probes (and maintain) with the same range as said star base.

No,I think it's a cool idea....I mean, you're spending alot to make that constructor...if you want to use it to up your sensor radius I think it should be the player's choice. And it won't make sensor probes obsolete since starbases can't move, making the buoys a bit more versatile.

How much of an increase? If the radius is increase too much then yes, the use of probes is not a good tactic but if increased just sightly then its worth using both depending on what you want to use.
