I don't know if it's too late to submit a feature request for 1.2, but what I'd like is a "starbase" tab on the Civilization Manager set of windows, set up much like the "Colonies" tab with the starbases listed, their current effects and stats, and even (if possible) constructors en route.
Currently, there's no good way (that I've found) to get a list of the features of each starbase. I just finished a 1.1 game on a Large galaxy, and I had 25 starbases. It was hard to keep track of how each was doing - the best way was to double-click on each.
I know there's a Starbase area on the ship/planet list window, but I didn't find it very intuitive and couldn't really do much with the information there (I couldn't even figure out how to only show my starbases, not every starbase).
Anyway, after playing a few games starbases seem to be the only hole in the otherwise great leap forward in interface from GalCiv 1. If there's a way to redress that for 1.2, that'd be great.
