Thalan starbases can't build defenses. Even with Hyperion Starbases and all the hull techs up to Medium researched. Additionally, Hyperion Starbases seems to do nothing other than act as a pre-req for terror stars.
Speaking of scrapping core ships, perhaps what is required is a slight addition to the shipyard and ship design screens: A new tab on all the shipyard screens (including ship design), 'current' And a new tab 'obsolete' and button 'mark current' on the ship design screen only (Names are just something I picked out of my hat) The way it works: Your custom designs show up on the user tab as normal, the core designs show up on the core tab as usual, the current tab
