Starbase range?

What determines it?

What determines the range of a starbase? How do I extend it? I've got one (influence resource) where the highlited circle stops just short of a size 26 planet...

The range does not change. Sensor ranges can be increased, but the influence range of a starbase is fixed.

Ressourcemining starbases work for your whole empire, not just for what is inside their influence sphere. So don't worry, your class 26 planet gets the bonus.

If the range is fixed, what determines it? I've got one with a range of 1.7, and another with a range of 2.5... the one with 1.7 was built early on, so should I destroy it and build a new one?

Hmm. Okay, then what _is_ limited to their influence sphere? The bonusese from modules?

Resource starbases, that is starbases built upon a militatry, influence, morale, research, or economic resource are empire-wide. Their bonuses are universal to all your holdings. Military starbases, economic starbases, etc that are built on an empty square only benefit planets/ships within their sphere of influence.

Ah! So when I add a module to upgrade one of them, the bonuses from the module are _also_ empire wide?

Very nice. Very, very nice.

Once again, only for resource starbases. These are starbases you build on galactic resources, not the regular Influence/Military/Economic bases. The latter only have a specific area of effect, and that area does not change.
