Starbase questions

Okay two questions.

 

#1 

What prevents an enemy from just ignoring a military starbase?

 

#2

When you have expanded and another civilization has a starbase mining in your territory is there a way to get rid of it without going to war? Yes, I know you can trade for it, but tha is expensive. Do they eventually culture flip like planets? Is there a way to demand the civilization decomission (sp?) the starbase?

#1)  Nothing.  There is absolutely zero "need" to attack a military starbase, unless you want to kill it to negate bonuses it gives to fleets in it's ZOC.

 

#2)  No they don't culture flip (but I think they should).  You are pretty much stuck with trading for them, or blowing them up.
