n00b question: why does the DD have 2?

Because front slot (where you can put 3-th beam) you better use for a shield if you fight against SD. Usually energy 6 or better shield.

n00b question 2: i assume Any/Any disengage orders just fights while disengaging? but doesn't disengaging require so amny turns of no combat?

For that style you have to make None/None/Disengage battle plan. Wink

and also, is there any way to make ships stay in the cover of the starbase instead of charing out there? even on max-defense, they seem to go out to fight and let the starbase get wasted; and then if they lose the enemy takes on the starbase by itself

There are no ways. Use battle simulation testbeds to find out how various designs act in battle.
Few points about starbase:
It has +1 range, so if you use longer range weapons that +1 makes the range even bigger so the starbase cover is large enough.
If your armed ships have longer range than enemy armed ships then they tend to (not always) back off so eventually they naturally enter the cover of starbase. Nod
