I've heard several complaints that Starbases can only target one opponent at a time. This surprises me! I haven't tried entrenchment yet, but I had been assuming that their weapons banks would be setup like capships, with front/left/right/rear firing arcs, and have all 4 balanced for damage evenly (unlike the capitol ships that have the bulk of their firepower concentrated into one of the firing arcs). And like cap ships, have each firing arc select it's own target. The AI already turns the ship when a target is selected by the player so that it fires from the weapon bank with the most damaging salvo (Kol turns nose toward the enemy while the Akkan fires broadsides for example). Depending how the AI is coded, if all 4 firing arcs have equal damage over equal time, the starbase should sit stationary and belch persecution upon whatever target(s) the player wishes! (as well as throw any other available damage at targets of opportunity creating the bristling weapons platform engaging multiple targets with a variety of weaponry that we all, deep down inside, want to watch work while laughing maniacally).

I gather though that this isn't the case?
