AND - you can name your Starbases. That way, all the geeks can call their first starbase "Deep Space 9"

One more idea. Friendly Civilizations can profit by sending freighters to your starbases. The owner of the starbase gets faster building and more influence while the owner of the freighter gets $$$$.

To make Starbases fun, all you need to do is: 1.) Build a single constructor or a fleet of constructors. 2.) Send the constructor to the location where the Starbase is to be built 3.) Start constructing the starbase. The construction process should take a long time for a single constructor. The more constructors in the fleet, the quicker the starbase is built. When construction is finished, the constructors are disposed of. 4.) Once the starbase is built, it becomes like

New Technology Idea: Maintenance Procedures in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Starbase Defenses in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hello, I've been playing this game for about a week now. I really enjoy it a lot too. One thing I was wondering though is - Is it just me or are the starbases WAY too easy to destroy? I spent all this time in my last game research fortifications, got my starbases maxed out with all of the level V defenses and offenses.
