The 1000 and 1 frustrations of a GalCiv player .....

Usually by the time I'm at advanced I've overtaken most everyone in tech anyways.

I have done as you suggested. I still can't tell the difference between an alien starbase and one of mine. I am now using an indirect method of leaving a unit beside that starbase so I would know that it was mine. It's a bit expensive to leave a unit besides every starbase you own but it works. Although it doesn't solve the problem of finding out at a glance what type of upgrades (military, economic, mining, etc ....) it has. They all look the same to me.

I don't know what to tell you...are you color blind, perhaps? Because I've never had any problem differentiating between the starbases. There are bands of color on them that show you which civilization owns them, simple as that.

I can see them too.
