So if they are adding an alien starbase, why don't they give it miners that will seek out the closest ore and maybe have an ore hold of about 500-1000. Once their ore hold is full, they will head back to the kneall starbase and dump it. The more ore the starbase has, the quicker its territory will grow, similar to the player starbases. If the territory grows large enough, it will assimilate player starbases, killing all players in the faction, and adding one alien ship to the server for each player that was in the faction. For each ship, there will be a chance for it to be each different alien ship, with the lightest ones being the most likely, so a Swarmer would be the most likely, and a Prototype would be the least. All the killed players would be sent to MB to start or join a new faction. So this is just my idea, I hope Sean sees it :D
