so what determines whether you get a battle report? a few times i have sent my scouts to places with starbases, yet nothing has happened. Is it because the starbase is empty? I checked to ensure that they were set to enemy, so i expected a battle to occur if it was there.

It depends on your and the owners battle settings....
if you have battle orders set to attack him...
or if he has battle orders set to attack you...
Then you will get a battle even if it is just a dance...

Your scout would have needed a weapon on it to initiate a battle, if you don't have weapons on it then you can't start a fight. At least one armed ship needs to be involved, an unarmed scout and a starbase with no other ships should never initiate a battle.

This is very true...until I have gates, and often after that most of my orbitals are empty unless I have a concrete need to arm them.
