Very rue but I was trying to think of something that wouldn't rob the Vasari's exclusivity there. The Vasari have no long range cruisers and instead have Assult Deployment for their starbases... I just find it hard to believe that races with faster-than-light travel and Deliverance Engines cannot figure out how to move a starbase or even a simple point defense.

They would be very vulnerable and thus unsuitable for battle maneuvers, but useful for those who plan a few steps ahead. It seems silly and redundant to have to scuttle a fully-
