Yeah but those aren't...cheap. Even then there's a reason more of that in season 2 and 3 than 1.

Season 1 had a lot of outdoors shooting and new build sets: Eminiar 7, the Starbase, the various planets....

Red Squad was formally disbanded, and whoever came up with the idea of elite units who stood apart from Starfleet’s esprit de corps was assigned to permanent latrine duty on Starbase 80.
All future iterations of Red Squad were given a lengthy description of how this team fucked up so they wouldn’t get cockier than God again
Rewatching Valiant
Red Squad was a fucking cult

We caught the Moonrise at Starbase! It was spectacular! Ironically, we used “Mars Cam” to track it! 😄

Due to an unfortunate transporter accident, my molecules have been rearranged, and now I look like I belong on a Cerritos class starship. Here I am returning from Starbase 80 in my brand new hover chair I have no idea how those bumper stickers got there!

The speed of construction has raised eyebrows, with suspicion that the Vestan military may have under-reported its stockpile of starbase spaceframes available for rapid deployment. Once fully operational, the new districts will be capable of supporting a sizable fleet.

A mystery structured labeled "SpaceX Development Test "Ibeproofin" rolled towards Pad 2 from the Production Site at Starbase, it remains to be seen what SpaceX plans to use this for.

After being dormant for a few weeks, the LR11000 has risen once again at Starbase Pad B, with the Chopsticks back at the top, it remains to be seen if this is in preparation for the SQD installation or something else planned.

Deluge testing at Starbase Pad 2 seems to be ramping up, as teams ran two separate tests, for the first time during later hours after the sun has set, with the second one being a extended test around the 60 second mark.

Google is hiding the fact that they are behind these new developments, much less in your face than Elon Musk is in Starbase, Texas. I believe this is because Elon Musk needs to display his massive ego and leave his fingerprints on everything.
Meet your new landlord: Google
Companies like Google, Tesla, Meta, and Disney are building new company towns with homes designed to attract employees and ease the housing crisis.

TrekCaptains. Time to switch things up. We're in the Zabel sector now. No Starbase, but an alien empire, the Zeelans, make things interesting. They arent part of the Federation and might cause problems.
