Industrial starbases?

In GC1 one of the types of starbases that I used on a frequent basis was one that provided a boost to the industrial capability to the sector that held the starbase. Now that we have specialized starbases with military, economic, and cultural specialization the lack of an industrial starbase option is a glaring omission.

I agree, I'm missing that feature.

It's not missing.

Build an Economy starbase. All those production boosting modules will be available once you research the appropiate techs.

Oh and another thing, be sure to pay attention to how you place your star bases. You want to place them so that their circle of influence will hit all the intended planets and also allow you to place additional starbases to overlap the bonuses. It can get kind of tricky when you have to space them out atleast 3 tiles....

In a recent game the yor dropped a base near a planet of mine which forced me to go farther out to plant a base... argh.

That figures. It's the one type of starbase that I hadn't gotten around to building yet.

Same here. Now I've built several and the Iconians are kicking my * with culture. Have to build even more starbases
