Ok, but a level 2000+ tech 12 CA base is just asking to get killed. Because they would need to get another alt to level 2000+ to have it protected by a SM base.

the whole idea behind making you use more lvls is that you dont drop a shitty argo base..and you dont hide behind pvp resttrictions.
its easy to stay safe..dont go to war. or dont build bad bases. or build a gal that works well enough together to be safe from the likes of BTs.

A level 2000 tech 12 SM base is just asking to get killed as well. If you have enemies and you want your bases to survive, BUILD THEM TO SURVIVE. Use tech 18+ base kits and equip them with good gear and augmenters. Even a non-mastery Achilles base is going to be difficult to kill if built properly, especially if you have other well built bases in the galaxy to assist it during an attack.
If you can't afford to build bases that don't suck, then do your best not to make enemies with someone who can kill them. Its not rocket science.

My original question was "Is SM going to be needed to build bases past tech 12?" If it is needed CA's and EE's are just asking to get their bases killed if they can't build bases past tech 12.
My previous point was just an example. Unless CA/EE/SM aren't going to be mutually exclusive. Haven't had time to look on test lately.

As far as I know, there are only a handful of base kits that actually require SM to lay them, and those are the "Complicated" base kits - more of a convenience than anything else.

Merchant Fleet Master Trading slaves get +2% to most stats, +10% capacity, and +10% to shields
Station Mastery Stations get +4% shield, energy, damage, shield recharge, energy recharge, capacity, tracking, firing rate, radar, range, and cloaking.
Note: I think this is supposed to apply to permanent drones as well, though I'm not positive.
Extraction Expert Expert at harvesting and mineral extraction. (+4.5% to bases hull space, +5% rate of extraction)
Colonial Administration Efficiency Expert. (+4% suitability on your colonies)
I thought I remembered seeing a post somewhere that jeff made concerning base skill bonuses. It said that station masters would get +3% to base stats, and EE and CA would get +2% to base stats. I cant remember where the post was and I was unable to find it.
The 4% you seen on station master makes sense considering jeff said he was going to beef base strength by 33%, making station mastery 4%, and EE and CA +3.66% per lvl to base stats. Like I said, I was unable to find the post, or I would have quoted it here for verification. Just figured I'd pass along the info I thought I remembered correctly so you could check into it.

The missions to get all of the trade skills up to level 30 have been added to Free Market on test, and their stats have been beefed as promised, though I haven't built a new test client, so the old descriptions are still what you will see.
And to answer a previous question, trade skills have no requirements other than character level.

I have Fleet Master from Free Market on test, so I don't know what you are talking about MYTER. Its a trade skill now, and a damned good one for slaves transporting commodities to AI stations or colonies.
Now all I would like is to be able to get higher levels of Programming to use with it.
