Starbases

Do starbases take up Fleet points in a scenario. For example if you have a 5 point battle and you must use the battle level starbase you have do you only get 4 battle points to fill out your fleet or do you still get 5 battle points?
 
If it's a published scenario that lists the base separately from the number of fleet points, then I'd say it's separate. In a campaign or pickup game, I think it'd be taken from the total points.

can bases be taken in a tourney?

I dont think you can mate, and seriously why would you bother having a station. A lot of them have 24" range weapons, the opponent would sit outside that and wipe it out. IMHO, its a waste of point. Also, you are only allowed 1 station per table, so what happens if your opponent appears with one too. Finally, some scenarios in the tourney, I dont think you can use it can you?
 
shame as I've just got the Revell B5 Model half way complete and fancied letting people see it and tear great big chuncks outta it at the next tourney

Hey, there is nothing wrong bringing it along. I for one, would love to see it ;)
 
There's nothing that stops you taking it to a tourney unless specifically stated otherwise. Of course, tactical considerations are there but otherwise I'd say go for it (and ask permission from the tourney organiser if in doubt/to give a heads up).
