The good points about bases: Less maintaince costs, longer weapon range, can build space yards in smallest space station early in the game.

The 'worst' point is that so many facility abilities that we'd like to have work in components do not -- yet. I hope that is changed because then the motivation to build bases would be multiplied many times. Imagine if you could put a resupply depot in a base! You could put resupply anywhere, even in barren systems without planets. Or if you could have a space port in a base, you could save a facility space in a system with crucial resources that you need very badly.
