Player Bases

[Jocelyn]

I would just like to point out there is not a 1-2-3 to setting up a base. Both yours and Friday's guide simply explain what it takes to build things -- not what they explicitly do or how they function. The guide is not in-depth. It is a very mechanical guide. That's not wrong per se, but it doesn't help me know what I need to do to keep a base safe.

Things like ideal build, what things do for me and how fast they build would be a good start.

So for example, let's say I am about to plop down a base. I know I need to get that construction guy into position then I type the command to drop the base. How much cargo does the base now have for me to stuff it with things? I get my base shield up and running then I start building cargo units? How many can I build? What is the purpose of each module? I don't understand what a Docking Factory is. What do those do? etc.
