Gaah!

I feel so stupid

from Stardock Forums
I've been playing this wonderful game a while now, basically learning it while playing. But a post I just read on this messageboard opened my eyes to something I've stupidly overlooked. I had no idea that you could build starbases anywhere you liked. So far in all my games I've only built starbases on resources and I was already wondering why I couldn't apply all of those nifty modules that opened up by researching new tech (save for mining and attack/defense modules ofcourse). I'll definitely give building starbases more thought in my next game. :)

It took me three or four games of frustration before I decided to look at the tutorial and figure out how to add modules to my starbases.. so don't feel too stupid.

That's why there is a calkwalk difficulty level. I used that for testing out various things. Then once I understood the mechanics I dove into a normal difficulty game. It's been great, I'm #1 and everyone thinks I am a god.

The thing is that I wasn't doing bad at all. I've won two games on normal in a large galaxy so far without the aid of starbases. One conquest victory and one influence victory.

Starbases give you something fun to build during peacetime, though, and they vastly improve production/influence.
