'''Starbases''' serve as both the main target and main point of resistance during [[Sieging|Sieges]]. All '''Starbases''' have turrets, but higher-level '''Starbases''' are significantly more powerful. '''Starbases''' also generate [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]] that players can use to defend, with [[Starbase Fury|Furies]] at level 1 and 5, and [[Starhunter]]s at level 3. From most ranges, '''Starbases''' deal significant damage to both [[Shields|Shield]] and [[Hull]], but at long range, a '''Starbase''' generally deals less damage to Hull than to Shield (which is why many [[:Category:Siege Ship|Siege ships]] like the [[Ridgebreaker]] have more Hull health). | '''Starbases''' serve as both the main target and main point of resistance during [[Sieging|Sieges]].

A newly created faction will start off with a level one '''Starbase'''. At this level, the '''Starbase''' has four docking ports and can only house four players. The '''Starbase''' is armed with 2 [[Turrets|Heavy Lasers]] and 2 [[Turrets|Heavy Cannons]] mounted to the bottom of the base, as well as 2 [[Turrets|Point Defense Lasers]] and 2 [[Turrets|Medium Flak Cannons]] mounted on top. A level one '''Starbase''' has 12,500 shield health and 12,500 hull health and it is vulnerable against sieges if not protected. | A newly created faction will start off with a level one '''Starbase'''.

Rich '''Starbases''' can keep up with the [[Economy]] and quickly level up. '''Starbases''' usually struggle to stay above 9000 base credits, so if your '''Starbase''' can consistently stay above this mark, it may be considered "rich".

* Simply making a loan to the base can help | * Simply making a loan to the base can help. This can be done by opening the menu once in the base and giving a loan. This gives 2.5k credits to the base - you cannot loan to a base with more than 8500 credits. These credits come from the player's own credits. After making a loan, the base will pay back very slowly until it pays the full amount, plus 10% interest, or 250 credits. The disadvantages of this [[Strategies|strategy]] are that the player must stay online and in that faction for the loans to continue to pay back. If the '''Starbase''' is destroyed before the loan is paid back then the player will not continue to receive money. '''Disconnecting is a large problem for people who make loans. Most players don't use this strategy because the Starbase could be destroyed, and you will lose all invested credits.''' | ||
