What are the limits on building starbases
I try to build one and the command is greyed out.

It's probably insufficient funds or another unit is already building one on the plot; starbases cost 250 gold/credits to build and can't be built on solar systems. You also can't use more than one construction ship to build one; this is disallowed because of the gold cost and how the code is implemented. I think it's also impossible to stack starbases on top of each other but don't remember.

It might be the cost thing then ... I'll check that out. All others do not apply.

There's a bug, or at least there used to be, with building starbases. You can have 1 construction ship start the starbase and pay the $$ for it (cost might be $250 on marathon but it's cheaper on faster speeds), then cancel that unit's orders. Have another CS construct a starbase on the same turn for its action, then cancel the build starbase order. I've actually stacked 11 CS's and build a starbase in 2 turns in a marathon game before. However, they built 11 starbases instead of just one, and only the original CS was lost. That felt like a cheat so I disbanded all of the starbases but one and disbanded all the CS's as well.
