about AI starbase construction...

[jonesie85two]

Hello, I have been wondering about Starbase and they're use. I would like to see the AI use starbases much more often. tho the level that they will upgrade outposts to starbases if they have an available troop transport. I see two ways to make this happen. 1, Use a special tweak i havent discovered yet. Or 2, remove starbases completely and just have 4 outposts that auto upgrade to the power of a starbase.

Has anybody else investigated this issue to fruition?

I found the same short-coming of the AI; i just made all starbases outposts in UE and they upgrade of each-other. Now my cruisers have a challenge and it costs me one or two to destroy the most powerful of them.
I also also change the stats to about 7 times the hull and shield and to 3 times the fire power of the contemporary command cruiser.

thank you for your response.

Also, if you dont mind me asking. The button on the interface for building starbases. Without have a starbase in a shiplist for it to upgrade. If you put a transport over an outpost does the interface allow you to sellect 'build starbase'. Id assume it could cause quite an awkwar situation if the option is still available.

if all starbases are set as outposts in UE, you do not have the "build starbase" option in the TT action menu. It works.

Whenever I try adding in Starbases on UE it crashes the game :/
