The AI in Starfury is vulnerable in exactly the same way as the AI in Space Empires. It can't vary its designs at all, and it can't vary its strategy at all. You can load up on shields and shield regenerators, and the best weapons you can find. Then 'hit and run' will generally work because you can sit out of range and regenerate faster than the starbase. I'd prefer using a battleship to take on a starbase myself but I guess that's not available in the demo. Sniping is another option once you get the longest range weapon available (a missile of some sort) -- IF the starbase doesn't also have them. Terran starbases are a real ***** because they always have the very latest CSM. Then hit and run might be your only option. I guess that depends on how many PDC you can cram into your ship and still have decent weapons and shields.
