How do I?

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

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.

The station keeping engine is a good idea, let you manuever around the planet a bit.

The other difference is they have different weapon mounts.

It depends if you are using Dev's Mod or not and can only move in combat

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.

Idea for bases...have the endless supply only if around a planet...If in space (warp point) needs to have supplys ferried to it

Yes, that is true. What I meant is that bases can be made to move. On the other hand, for example, fighters cannot be made to warp.
