I just wanted to check something before I continue with my cave building program.
I'm working on the understanding that items covered by cave complexes will be better defended in the event of an attack against your starbase, than they would be if they were just out in the open.
Is that the case?
Dan
You bring me great comfort, thank you kindly.
Do you reckon it's worth doing then, providing cave and bunker coverage at starbases?
I assume bunkers do a similar job to your workforce and armed forces.
There is also the role play side of it as well. Do you want a starbase covered in ugly caves?

| A cave soaks up 8000MU damage before it is destroyed. It gives out 500MU damage. So you just protected yourself against 7500 MU damage.

Thats why you got decoration for..
And ofcourse better an living Falconian in an ugly cave then an dead falconian in an beatifull starbase...
Agree if you want to defend yourself and keep those nasty enemies out then caves with shield complexes is the way to go. The question is will it effect merchandising in the future as people don't like going into caves to trade. Perhaps they will feel more secure.
Who knows. To each there own.

Ofcourse not...
We got all kinds of troops/employees on our starbases.. and as we don't get enough caves to shield ALL our employees/troops we reserve the caves for those races who feel perfectly at home there....
And when the fighting get tough our own people, put their pride aside and share the cave with the 'regulars'..
Like I said, better an living falconian in an ugly (even shared) cave then a dead falconian.. For some races caves are more natural then others... We Falconians prefer to stay high above ground in those nice warm nests
Why, I splutter indignantly at that!
I imagine the caves being built, and housing all of the unsightly module and military equipment I have lying around, the stacks of ores, tucking the factories out of sight. Leaving more space for open vistas and panoramic views, without all of that industrial clutter.
I think cave complexes would make a starbase look prettier, not uglier.
