[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The beef I have with SB-1 is that Earth orbit should already be full of decentralized spaceship-servicing facilites, so there would be no need to construct a centralized facility. Earth might get its starbase at some point, but other, more remote locations would probably have the first dibs for such a construction effort. Then again, perhaps SBs weren't built in a chronological order (cf. SB 173 (?) coming online as late as in "Measure of a Man"), and the one in Earth's orbit got retroactively named SB 1. Assuming, of course, that there is a starbase in Earth's orbit. So far, we have seen two constructs that looked like known starbases, but both (Spacedock of ST3 and Orbital Office of TMP) were significantly smaller than their Starbase equivalents. I'd be happier with saying that there are no starbases in Earth orbit, not even under a different name (like "Spacedock"). Instead, there's this big decentralized gaggle of facilities, none of which is a full starbase (in the sense that a typical floating dock has no crew provisions, and Spacedock One has no ship repair facilities).
