Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova Galactic Civilizations IV

What is the worst unit in the game, and why is it hands down the military starbase?

Talk about utterly and completely useless.

It doesnt block movement

It doesnt attack incoming ships

Its completely ignored by the AI

It doesnt block building.

It doesnt defend planets.

It doesnt support fleet engagements

It just sits there.. doing nothing, with zero actual function.

Cant even make the argument that it'll mine... its mining value is next to nothing, and whenever the AI wants.. it just plops its own starbase (literally right NEXT to it.) ....  and mines away, with zero reprecussions. 

Can we get the icon on the map changed to a giant turd?  Cause thats what it is.. in every single possible way.  An utterly and completely useless waste of time, population, resources, effort and existence.

Can *anyone* tell me why this thing even exists?  What its point it?  Who designed it and thought... "hey guys.. lets put this giant gun platform in the game... it doesnt actually DO anything.. but it'll look cool!"

Are we being trolled by the game devs?  Cause thats what this feels like.. like Im being trolled.


*Edit*  - Not one to complain without offering a solution.. but WHY dont they support fleet engagements in their Zone of Control?  Seriously.  Why?  They do NOTHING.
