Deathstar 2.0 didn't have that weakness, anyways. :p Hangars (as TEC) next to your starbase are all well and fine, unless you are using your starbase in a asteroid belt or some other non-planet point. A carrier fleet alone could decimate the starbase in that situation. Now, a starbase shouldn't be able to beat a good fleet, but this seems like (to me) a pretty sensible upgrade. And since its tier 3 you'd have to spend thousands of credits/~thousand crystal/ore

Just got the beta, and I've been trying out the starbases. I mostly like them, except they have one big weakness - strikecraft. Yes you can build some hangers on them, but its not going to be of much use against a strikecraft heavy fleet. My thought is why not give them a third weapon tier upgrade - some antistrikecraft weapon.

What I'm wondering is if there is (or if there will be) someway I can purchase just the soundtrack without buying a the game again ... I'd lov

I've found uprising to be very effective. Though this comes with a few clarifications ... I've only done it on large or very large maps, where I've been in a good diplomatic situation (peaceful relations with at least a few people near me). What I do is a fast tech up to it immediately. Almost all of my resources go into getting to it asap. While research is going on I'm taking over planets (with my mothership) and pumping out light cruisers (the most basic variety). If you play sm
