Re: A poll about bases.
Remote Mining would fall under "Something Else," and yeah, me too; Shipyard/Repair at a planet or "waysystem" and remote mining at asteroid fields.

Re: A poll about bases.
Yes, remote mining is a good use of starbases. Defense is a horrible use of bases because they are often horribly positioned. I wonder if adding combat movement to a base as an ability might help?

Re: A poll about bases.
Bases are a very good way to boost the defenses of small planets where relatively few weapons platforms can be placed. If you are worried about positioning, try fighter bases. Just a huge cargo base with launch bays and a few minimal defenses, which is cheap, and the fighters can go where they need to be.
What bothers me about mining is that remote mining of asteroids is actually a very different technology from remote mining of planets but SE tech doesn't take note of the difference. For this reason I tend to completely ignore remote mining in SE.

Should space stations have little windows for people to use to view space or whatnot?

Re: A poll about bases.
Remote Mining - Good
Planetary Defense - Bad
Warp Point Defense - Good (Those first-shot Massive Mount weapons from big bases do wonders to slow down the enemy.)
