The do what's best for you thing is correct. However I am 99% certain that it is buying direct that will earn Stardock the most money. Also, It helps because you can then get it off SDC immediatly after the transaction clears..

Guys, Dont complain. You dont count starships for taxes and you sure as hell dont count Starbases for taxes, It makes no sense to add a crew value to ships and the likes and then tax them, Especially since taxes are mesured in Billions, I'm pretty sure that 2000 or so people on a starbase wont make much of a dent.

This can be very useful if you get all the way to the planet and someone beats you to it, but happen to notice there's an unclaimed resource nearby....

A tiny class hull is roughly twice the size of, say..an F-16 AFAIK... I dont think that carriers will make it in, But..There is oppertunity for a mod. A modder could cheat a little bit and create a weapon, And that weapon will be a small craft hangar. (Roughly size 30) I'd assume it possible to create a weapon effect to give the illusion of a light fighter coming out of the weapon apature, Moving in, Shooting and returning to base..
