[Colonel]

I use bases for literally everything.

Planetary defense\Warp point Defenses- I use them all the time so I don't have to preoccupy my ships.

Remote mining- not as much but in every game I have atleast a couple around.

As for resupply- yes, all my bases act like that for me\

As for other things- Fighter bases, Drone Launchers, and then a few storage bases near my capital planets so I can have tons of supplies(ie: Fighters, drones, troops etc.) For my ships so I don't have to keep building them after the ships.
