Potential problem with starbase bonuses..

from GalCiv2 Forums
I upgraded a military starbase of mine with a Ship Assist: Beam Defense + 3. So I crank out some ships and send them into the area. Lo and behold they still have no defense (this was when I couldn't manage to put any shields on the actual ships themselves). I mouse over the shield display in the info window and it says 0 Ship Shields; 0 Starbase Assist. It was sitting right next to the starbase with the installed module! Am I missing something? I hope I am...

great game otherwise

The assertion is that they must have at least one unit of the boosted type before it takes affect. It improves the existing systems, not magically introduce capabilities.

That said, I've not tried it.

Note that it doesn't have to be the boosted type. Any type will do. (Which makes me think this is unintentional... it should either only boost what is there or apply to every ship)
