Not sure if this belongs here, but I was wondering if anyone could answer this.
If you have two starbases in queue on a planet without a starbase, it doesn't update the prices correctly, but I am hoping it doesn't try to spend the extra money to rebuild the stuff it already built. I just want confirmation rather than waste money on accident.

You are correct; it prices the second starbase as if the first starbase hadn't been built. Assuming the second starbase is an extension of the first (you're adding components, not replacing any), then you can effectively subtract the costs to see if it will get built that year.
Regardless, you won't get double-charged, as it were. Go forth and build your bases!
Cheers,
Void

No, it's an "identical components" thing IIRC.
|
IIRC it is identical component and same slot, so if you have 12 Collodials in slot 1 on the Spacedock and 12 Collodials in slot 1 on the Starbase, then the discount applies, while if you have 12 Collodials in slot 1 on the Spacedock but have them in slot 2 on the Starbase, then you pay full price.
|
I dunno, but it's Colloidals, not Collodials.

Hi!

| IIRC when changing starbase type, you get max discount for EVERY slot, regardless where you have items. Also remmeber posting this here on AH, but can't find it now.
You also get discount for everything existent, while in the same slot. The only case you don't get discount is when upgrading the same type of orbital, but using empty slots (e.g. first starbase has colloidals in slot 1 and slot 2 empty, the second design has first slot empty and Mark-IV blasters in second slot).

What? I see it around a lot and it's wrong. Am I wrong to correct people? Is it not one's duty to correct those who make mistakes?
|
Duty? Are you a corrections officer?
Well, in that case, it's "don't know" not "dunno".
Given that lots of people here are speaking English as a second language (like me), I think most are doing pretty darn good in their posts, and we mostly are very forgiving of the occasional slips.
