No. (I'm not in the Beta, not because I can't but because it froze my computer when I tried to download it a few months ago...) I'm now playing Dom3 MP but a game like FE which should be complex and intricate and all about feeling (stories, quests, music and sounds, tactical battles) I wouldn't.

"Why not build one or two bases per sector? " You can. Most bonuses are cumulative. " If you have a resource in a sector with no star systems what modules should be added and which ones would have no affect?" For starbases mining special resources, use mainly Mining modules (it tells you which module does what) enhancing that resource bonus (you'll read "Morale abilities 5%" i.e.). Defense modules are needed: a) to defend the starbase,of course b) aliens attack starbases before
Why not something like in Alpha Centauri: -"You've crushed us, Mighty Chairman Yang. Spare our lives and we'll give you all our techs and money!" -"Fine, but you must swear a Pact to serve me!"
