Can't build starbase defense

from GalCiv2 Forums
For some reason, it seems I can't build any defenses for my starbases (and it seems the computer isn't building them either). Therefore, no matter how heavily armed they are, they just get destroyed easy. I though that the starbase defense tech would at least enable the beginings of defense, but I am well beyond that and still I have not options when I upgrade my starbases. Can someone fill me in?

I was going to provide a smart alec relpy by suggesting sending constructors to the starbases to be upgraded but after reviewing your profile you're obviously not that much of a noob. Which patch are you running 1.2 or the the 1.3beta. If you've gone researching into the purple tech tree with starbase fortification and still can't upgrade them my only suggestion would be to try reinstalling from scratch.

Starbase defenses take you down the path of arming military starbases with equipent to assist ships in it's sphere. What you want is the starbase fortification tree.

A lot of starbase modules are screwed up or in unintuitive areas. Devastation beam for instance is available with the Subspace Ripper tech....there is no such tech so it's available right away. There's many more like this. Personally I think Starbase Defenses should be available as you climb the appropriate defensive tech, and have modded my own game to reflect that.
