Starbase glitch

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've found a glitch concerning starbases. Lets say you have a military star base that adds somthing like +1 ship beam weapons. Ok well if you have a fleet of ships, lets say 3. Each ship gets a bonus +1 to beam weapons, giving the overall fleet a +3 bonus (3 ships +1 each). Well If you move that fleet onto that military star base, it only gives you +1 as if there were only one ship, so instead of haveing +3 that fleet only has +1. It then goes back to normal after moving away from that star base.

seriously this is really bothering me. I have to watch so closely for enemy ships now.

Hrm, that's interesting. I also noticed earlier that moving my ships into orbit was giving them a natural +1 to their attack. I wonder if starbases/planets have an innate bonus to defending ships that's overriding the military assist modules?

I quess that could be it, but its counting the whole fleet like one ship. Like if each ship shoul get +3 to beam weapons and +2 to armor or something it only counts as one ship if your on the military starbase. Is This a glitch, or is that the way its supposed to be.

Well, none of my ships get the bonuses from my starbases. But when I found a "Lucky Ranger" it got the bonuses. WTF?

This has been a chronic and very frustrating problem / bug that I have yet to see addressed in the posts I've read. I have a military starbase with +3 ship beam defense installed, yet none of my ships within range take advantage of this benefit. Then, later on in the game, newer ships get the bonus. At first I thought this was because I researched a new tech that allowed the defenses to kick in. However, this was not the case, and the problem remained: new ships got the bonus, and old ships did not, even when stationed within the radius of the same starbase.

Devs - have you noticed this bug or have you addressed it in the upcoming patch?

Your ships must have at least 1 point in one of the 3 defenses available.
So, for instance, defenders will not get the bonus, but if you build a ship with 1 defense, then you will see, it works. I use military starbases in all my games , and they seem to work fine.
