IMO, It doesn't make sense for an expensive starbase to have 3 different guns for different ranges and NOT have flak cannons. Sure it has Fighters, but that's no excuse for not having additional guns mounted on the starbase as back up. It would even itself out anyway. You use a slot for the flak upgrade you lose a slot for an additional fighter upgrade. Seem's like a better investment to me anyway.

I might as well not build an SB if that is removed and Instead just build Temples of Communion, and Trading Stations. I am not looking at this from the concept POV. I am looking at it in relation to the other races' SBs. From what I have read in the Game manual this is the Way things work in-game Vas
