Re: How do I?
I agree. Dockable ships would be great.

Bases can move, not sure whether they can warp or not.

Re: How do I?
Bases can move and warp, if the files are modded to allow engines that is.
There is a hard coded difference though in that bases have have built in endless supply, like what a ship would get if you had a Quantum Reactor.

Re: How do I?
I do not know why you would mod movable bases. Why not just create ships instead ???

Re: How do I?
While revising the Devnull mod we gave bases a "Station Keeping Engine" That gave the base movement in combat only.
We considered giving them standard movment as well, it is possible after all. But we figured like you said, "What's the point? They they would just be big slow ships, and not bases at all", so we didn't do it.

Re: How do I?
The station keeping engine is a good idea, let you manuever around the planet a bit.
