I tried to play before on the last alpha patch and the game was just not fun yet for me. I know in time this game will suck the life out of me like gal civ 2 does. I have been trying to play for the last week and I just am unable to figure out how to get a military starbase in the latest alpha. In the version before I just picked military ring with the 2nd constructor. Now I only get culture and economic, later with some tech I can get mining. I also learn weapon techs and I am unable upgrade those like I remember in the last alpha. What am I doing wrong? I am a heavy starbase player in gal civ 2 and it is just driving me nuts not being able to set up my neutral zone with military starbases.
