I don't know how much this matters to some people, but to me, especially when roleplaying, your Capital World is your most important. It's usually where I build the Megashipyard, purely because it's the Economic, Political, and usually Military Center of my Empire. The problem I have is that the starbase in my Capital System feels just as weak as all the other starbases in my empire. To me, it needs to feel more important than just another Citadel.

We all know that Starbases are pretty useless for defense. They're weak and can barely hold back a fleet long enough to get your fleet to the battle in the first place, as well as being useless once jump drives are available. There are other threads in which people have talked about what to do about them. I just want to talk about the Capital system.

I feel like there should be a special tech/starbase upgrade purely for the Starbase on your Capital system, In which at its max level, you get access to special military/economic buffs within your capital system, akin to juggernaut aura. I mean, it's your capital. It should be defended to the last man! If you lose it it's all over.

Idk though. That's just me. Maybe you guys have some other ideas

I don't think this idea makes sense. If you have the ability to build these special extra-powerful starbases, why are you restricted to only building one in your capital system?

It could be something like the Titan limit, where you get 1 Titan plus 1 for every 200 Naval Cap you have. So you get 1 "Mega-Citadel" plus 1 for every 50 Starbase limit you have.

and how about make those mega citadle at least 150k fleet power or 100k
That would definitely be nice. Make it somewhat useful. I just want it to be special in comparison to the standard starbase
