 Remote Mining would fall under "Something Else," and yeah, me too; Shipyard/Repair at a planet or "waysystem" and remote mining at asteroid fields.

				 Re: A poll about bases. 
 Yes, remote mining is a good use of starbases.  Defense is a horrible use of bases because they are often horribly positioned.  I wonder if adding combat movement to a base as an ability might help?

				 Re: A poll about bases. 
 Bases are a very good way to boost the defenses of small planets where relatively few weapons platforms can be placed. If you are worried about positioning, try fighter bases. Just a huge cargo base with launch bays and a few minimal defenses, which is cheap, and the fighters can go where they need to be.
 What bothers me about mining is that remote mining of asteroids is actually a very different technology from remote mining of planets but SE tech doesn't take note of the difference. For this reason I tend to completely ignore remote mining in SE.

 Remote Mining - GoodPlanetary Defense - Bad
 Warp Point Defense - Good (Those first-shot Massive Mount weapons from big bases do wonders to slow down the enemy.)

				 Re: A poll about bases. 
 Mainly for shipyards, defense, and sphere world construction.  Occasionally for storing units and population.  
 I voted for the first part of the poll and accidentally clicked OK before I voted for the question about windows, and now I can't go back and vote for the windows question.
