Re: Base Training
<$.02>
Well, I too liked fleeting bases. As mentioned earlier, if you have 20+ orbiting a planet, the ship list gets kinda' cluttered. But on the other hand, I don't care much for the inherent infinite supply that bases get.
How about having to supply bases just like ships? Maybe give the base hull a certain amount of supply storage. As they don't move, they wouldn't use supplies unless firing weapons, etc. Then, unless they were at a Resupply Depot, you'd need to oufit 'em with Solar Collectors or QR's. If they had a QR, you'd fleet 'em for filling up just like you do now.
Then, you still could use them as a remote resupply station. Personally, I used to do that all the time - find a storm and build a base far from home. Use it as a waypoint and fleet 'em when they get there.
The only downfall to this is the micromanagement involved. You'd need 2 turs to fill the whole fleet 'cause you coul;dn't move all the ships in the fleet to the base's fleet. (You have to keep at least 1 ship in the fleet).
