Pretty sure they mentioned that the full release will have everything that is now part of sins rebellion with all DLC, of course adapted to fit into the new game, so some changes likely to happen.

this barely qualifies as an alpha, yes i'm pretty sure starbases will be in the game.

Just some question... In some mod, there are some unique feature which are not found in the original rebellion or famous Interregnum mod.. so i'll start this question about starbase part then

1st: Will SINS 2 starbase have some anti-craft defense like the one found in Distant Star mod?? IF it does, will its firepower differ for each sub-factions?? Example TEC Loyalist relies on Flak and Rebel uses Autocannon for starters

2nd: Will each sub-factions starbase have 1 unique weaponry when its weapon module slot fully upgraded?? Example Supercharged Beam Cannon added on TEC Loyalist faction which amplified range and damage or Railgun cannon which used on Ragnarok Titan to replace its beam turret...

3rd: Will each sub-faction starbase focus on its specialized role on its starbase upgrade?? Example TEC Loyalist can upgrade its starbase to become mega starbase in size & firepower or adds mini-novalith cannon which can fires its superweapon but its reload time doubles OR half the original but similar reload time

---- TEC Rebel focused on its capability to build capital ships on its factory module slot upgrade which allows to build limited capital ships in contested enemy space..

4th: Will SINS 2 have each sub-factions unique strike craft added in game which limited to certain capital ship, titan and starbase although i only expect that 1 type at least... Because having basic craft in game YET not some differences might end up bore some players eventually

It's still too early to say with certainty what starbases will or won't have as we go forward. As we've said before, this is the time for testing things and for making mistakes! Chances are we'll stumble into plenty of them.

One of the devs might have some more definitive answers regarding starbases and their future, though, and if they do I know they'll chime in here.

Thanks for playing and for sharing your thoughts, feedback, and questions! 

My point is does that kind of addition gonna be added in the new SINS 2 in their own unique way related to Starbase part.

Also to add.. i got a few more to mention but for now, 1 more to mention here is flagship part which available via Flagship victory..

I really, really verily HOPING that SINS 2 got their own unique flagship which basically have almost capability of a titan in firepower, durability and so on.. WHY i mention this is that based on Maelstrom Mod which adds Dreadnought-type capital ship that could functions like Flagship-type capital ships + Crazy MOD version gives unique ability that basically greater than its counterpart or rarer capital ship like the one in Distant Stars.. 

In short about Flagship part, those unique feature is what im verily hopeful to see it got added in SINS 2... 

There's more to add BUT i'll wait til SINS 2 beta got released in public which feature some of what i mentioned in the forum...
