Default Starbase upgrades

You probably already do this, but since it has been working so well for me, I figured I'll post it here.

Starbases are expensive, and take a long time to build, so I did it incrementally:

SB0 - minimum life support plus a shipyard.
SB1 - repair bays, cargo holds, mine layers
SB2 - shields and armor, other tech that's already at max
SB3+ weapons, as they reach tech max

Each level of upgrade increases price by 50%, and doesn't replace any parts, only adds new parts. It shortens the construction time and the resources aren't wasted buying replacement parts for outdated technology, and the starbase is partially operational along the way.
