you know, bases are not all that mobile, and even if they orbited, they would not orbit durring the course of an attack. if you had multiple bases, they should obviously be space equidistantly about the planet, but come on, if you were attacking a planet, why would you NOT go arround the starbases? this is a neat discussion, but i think its trying to find a solution for a problem that isnt there.
If the starbases were always in front of the attacker, you can bet I would be peeved about the psychically-teleporting-starbases. starbases are, however, a very good defense for warp points (if you can get them built there.
