Vasari Mobile Starbases

from Sins Forums

Are there any restrictions as to where Orkies can move (like only through phase stabilizers or something) or can they just roam around with the fleet?

And I forgot, is the mobility tech only available to the rebels or to all Vasari?

Edit: OK OK, I won't ask you guys to teach me how to unlock the Vasari  ;P  One more week it is!

You'll play as the Vasari soon enough.

That said, mobile starbases is rebel-only and can go through any phase lane (including phase nodes).  They cannot jump to a planet that already has one present.

Does this count as an upgrade or do all starbases automatically get this?

Also, do you foresee any potential balance problems with a fully-upgraded Orky floating around?

All factional differences to those of the same race are entirely based upon research.  IIRC, it's a fifth tier defense upgrade.

Please save balance questions/comments for after the Vasari are officially released.

What if you trick the game.  Send a starbase mid-phase jump to another planet with a colony frigate waiting and use it to build a 2nd starbase before the first one arrives. If this work. you can send both starbases to a third planet with a frigate waiting to construct while the first ones are in transit.

Depends how vigilant they are about these things.

Well I'd think that if they count a starbase mid-jump as having a starbase already at the target planet then there shouldn't be any problems...
