Even if you have a first strike fleet in orbit around an overseer planet, the planet would be able to build a new starbase and launch a "nuclear missle" before the fleet in orbit could destroy the starbase. This effectively just creates more work for the overseer race to constantly rebuild starbases.

Only if the fleet in orbit didn't already destroy the base. Wink

What do you mean? The order of events page I copied into a text file from the stars village lists Production as step 20 and Fleet battles as step 25, with no mention of fleet battles before production at step 20. Packets launching are included in step 20.

What I meant is that when you say "a first strike fleet in orbit around an overseer planet" that I assume that it already took out the base. If it did not take out the base than yes: you can still launch your packet before the base gets destroyed. (production before battle)

However you can't "build a new starbase and launch a nuclear missile" at the same time. It will take a year for the starbase to get finished and one turn later you can launch the packet. The fleet in orbit would kill the base the same turn it's build.
You can't build a base and lauch a packet in the same year ... you can't queue packets are set warp speed if you don't have a massdriver (on your base) in orbit ...
