hmm... I guess I'm one of the few to build lots of bases... My homeworlds normally have 1 or 2 spaceyards & 1 or 2 defense bases (varies dpending on max size researched)... beyond that portals direct into the heart of enemy territory get stations (as they make much better guards than sats). Their is just no equal to true defensive power to the Starbase, I mean sure a few hundred sats or a couple baseships could do the job... but not with as much style...
