A starbase with trade hubs doesn't collect Trade from other systems with starbases. I am disincentivized to build starbases (Deep Black Site) on systems with planets, if am not capable to beeline (starbase) them with my trade hub. Even a gateway doesn't solve that problem (who wanst to build a gateway on so much systems with a starbase and planet).
2.
As it stands a freshly build or upgraded starbase automatically (4 times) connects to your home capital starbase with a trade route. Sometimes you don't want trade to flow or that exact route because you want to avoid piracy. I don't have a good solution for that problem. Maybe just connect to your closest starbase without entering piracy territory?
3.
Even fast realignment spawns piracy in a system and doesn't dissolve even if there is no trade ongoing. Starbases build on places with piracy doesn't surpress piracy, if piracy happened prior to the starbase. Sometimes Trade Value does exist even if there is no trade route.
