Star Control: Origins – Finding Starbases the Easy Way

Scavenge those upgrade by finding all star bases.

Getting Started

Locating starbases involves a simple method. You find the distance between each starbase, and they should be roughly the same. To begin, you need at least two starbases. Here’s an image showing four locations. You likely have one near Sol; use it to find a second starbase.

Notice the arrows they are all copy and paste in Photoshop and are they exact same size. Giving a exact number in mm/cm or inches would be pointless since you might be on a different zoom level.

However you can on your own screen use a ruler or pencil to measure the distance. Then use that to give you the rough distance and direction to the next starbase. Also worth noting they are also roughly next and above each other.

Hope this helps save you fuel and time running around!
