I've never treated it as such. It says in the rules that a CD is not considered an attack, and really unless you are shooting at the base with actual weapons with the intent to damage it, you're not really attacking the base.

How could a ship dock on a base through its active shield? If weapons fire can't get through, how could a whole entire ship? That's just wanting it both ways, and it is that which is unfair. People might see it as just a game mechanic but I never questioned ships not being able to dock through a shield.

Careful, it seems if the base is even on the base list you'll get called a metagamer just for looking at it. Apparently its OK to use the base list to see if your base is under attack, or the player list to see if people are its system, but if someone else find it because they know it exists to be looked for, its oorp and 'metagaming'
