If they have Orbitals as the 4th ship type. Does that mean they can't build starbases.
The ability to build 4-starbases in one hex is a common tactic for holding the center hex. If a race doesn't have starbases it had better stay away from the center.

Not sure how much I can divulge, but I think you answered the question for yourself. No starbase blueprint to upgrade... :whistle:
Not much divulging necessary. See Petri's session report from January.

My race was Exiles of Magellan, who cannot build starbases at all, but their orbitals have the ability to fight.
When I designed my own race, the Uyani Hivemind, a few months ago, someone suggested to give them the Orbital tech to start with, and to allow them to build orbitals with guns instead of starbases. It was a nice idea and fitting to the Hivemind, but I deliberately didn't do that so that I wouldn't copy an official race too much.
