I think the starbases are fantastic! You need turrets around them though or the TEC's go down easy. There are some missiles that I saw attacking my starbase that were half the size of the ship they were coming out of. I have tried a network game and it did error out . I was playing tec and the other person was playing Vasari. Anyways. More as I stumble across it. Mines are ok but could stand to be improved.
