What do you want on your star base?

and all the good things that go with it.

Personally, I want everything but not necessarily at the same time.
1. Able to be constructed anywhere, even uncolonizable planets/asteroid belts.
-a sort of remote/combat construction frigate could be built, sent to a location where it would start construction... construction would be supplied by trade/refinery/supply ships that would bring the resources to your location to be used by the constructor, therefore construction would be more costly and take longer if ememy somehow destroys supply ships and steals the resourses from them.
2. basic needs. guns and strikecraft
3. highly customizable, similar to capships, but would also require resources to level up. exo may or may not reduce upgrade credit cost.
4.Being customizable, you would have many options.
Ion cannons and other capship like abilities
Internal repair bays that would protect or store weak or damaged ships and repair them if needed
Also all other ship abilities should be considered as options, such as repulsion, shield sharing, etc.
Logistic structure of your choice built in, or at least a partially functional version of chosen logistic structure.
abilities of other defensive structures as options.
Culture Repulsion standard,... this comes standard with big ships, and this is a big defensive item, so it makes sense

I'm just afraid if we don't have ideas, we could get boring/generic star bases dumped on us.

Refinery/trade port capabilities, as well as intelligencia and tactical roles.

Mostly tho, I want a bunch of silhouetted crew members standing around the "tower" of the Hangar, watching the only fighter-craft of the station dock, when suddenly, glowing alien balls pop out of "warp", prompting a red-alert and the fighter to re-launch against overwhelming odds, and unanswered cries for help and/or mercy....... ;-)

Wormholes don't work that way.

Am I the only one envisioning this looking like the star base from Star Control 2?

This is Stardock we're talking about, here. Your fears are misplaced, dude.

Me? All I want is a starbase that will allow me to turtle up to my neck until I will amount a huge fleet to wipe out the galaxy without having to constantly move the fleet back and forth to and from my systems in order to defend them, and I don't mind how it will look like, how it will be done, or how much resource and time will require to build it. Even a half an hour of building time + millions of resource will be fine by me, as long as I won't have to babysit every single system I have for fear of an invasion.

Finally I will get what I wished for! Thanks, Stardock!

Yeah, I guess your right
