I have the same problem. The Starbase just fires with plasma even with 2 weapon upgrades and the meteor shower only affects shields. A small fleet with a shield restoring ship kill the Starbase without loss. At a fraction of it's costs.

I think it does hull damage, but it takes so long to reload that the shields have regenerated quite a bit

it doesnt do a lot of damage no but it does it to a _lot_ of ships. You don't really want that thing being able to destroy the whole enemy fleet in 3 minutes flat..

the weapons upgrades for advent are futzy in a couple ways, but when they work it has pretty decent firepower

I noticed something buggy when attacking a planet with meteors. I don't think it even did damage...

The Advent Stabase Meteor shower does 600 dmg per ship to all ships in range. This ability should be extrem powerfull. But it does not make hull damage like Crazie_guy already said.

At the moment the Advent Starbase is a dead duck.The range of it's weapons is to short to fire back against a long range attack. You don't even need the anti-Starbase ships to kill it. The only long range weapon is the meteor shower.

The vasari one works better and the Tech one seem to work really stable. There is much to do for the devs.

By the way, does anyone know if there will be dmg upgrades fore the psionic surge weapon and the disintegration weapon? Cause the Tech can upgrades the firepower of all the weapons in their starbase. Advant and Vasari can only upgrade two of the weapons.

Is there a upgrade for the psionic surge? I didn't find it.

well that's bad. Tec can upgrade the damage of all 3 starbase weapons. Advent and vasari only two of them.
