Base balance and other such matters

[Cannon]

What is the reasoning for this? If the shield is up, the base is under attack, and it needs its weapons platforms to defend itself.

It didn't feel right for weapons platforms at 5000 meters from the base to be covered by the shield. Also given that they respawn, it doesn't really matter - and if the shield is up, the base can't take damage.

Also, with the new fuel decreases, a base can remain shielded for a very, very long time.

My sums come to a different conclusion. EDIT: Ah, I've made a mistake in the first post and have updated it.
Deuterium - 5 units per 16 seconds.
H-Fuel - 4 units per 16 seconds
MOX - 3 units per 16 seconds
Gallic Fuel - 3 units per 16 seconds.

This means ~15k/day to ~27k fuel used per 24 hours if base is being blockaded and constantly attacked.
