About star bases

from Stardock Forums
Does their affect accumulate? Let's say I make three star bases on one sector, and put +50% trade upgrades each on them, does it count +150% trade on that sector? Manual doesn't say anything about it.

Yes, they do. In fact, a prime tactic for generating lots of cash is to make a very short trade route (only passes through 2-3 sectors) and then just make as many Trade Center starbases as possible in those few sectors.

Trade bonuses are not unique in this - multiple starbases with modules providing the same bonuses always stack.

Note however, that starbase upkeep is exponention, not linear. The more starbases you have, the faster the upkeep for another starbase increases.

Isn't the SB upkeep constant at 5bc/turn/SB?

Or did it change (in 1.09 or earlier)?

right now starbases are just 5/bc a turn the idea of having exponetial cost was tossed around but was never implemented.

Hmm... I had thought this was implimented a while ago, but I have to admit I don't pay close attention to it in the game itself....
