Starbases are primarily used in security 0.3 and below systems for moon mining and reactions, for Sovereignty, for guarded Safespots, and for ore refining. A starbase may also be run in security 0.4 to 0.7 systems with the moon mining and material reaction functionality disabled. Their effective use is limited to guarded Safespots or manufacturing/R&D. starbase ship manufacturing capabilities are also limited, in 0.5 or higher systems, to Large Assembly Arrays. This disallows the starbase from making anything larger than a Battleship in 0.5 or higher security. | Starbases are primarily used in security 0.3 and below systems for moon mining and reactions, <strike>for Sovereignty</strike>, for guarded Safespots, and for ore refining.
