Analysis: |

These non-moving platforms are vulnerable to any ship with stand-off
weapons (torpedoes, plasma, kxd2 probes, etc), but with 12 phaser banks, any
ship that comes within 2000 units will feel pain. Any ship docked with
the starbase will repair much quicker and components that are totally
destroyed can be replaced. If you have an enemy ship with failed life
support or you don't want to knock down the shields to board it, you can tow
it to the Starbase and have the base 'recover' it. Basically the base
will manually guide the ship in to a docking collar, at which point you can
order the base to board the ship and begin repairing it. |
