Some people love to have a base they can revisit on a planet they liked. Some also build mining outposts for particular resources. Bases are also useful for inter-galaxy travel.
I never understood the base building if one main mechanic is moving on and on and on to explore. I may never have progressed far enough, but the base building is introduced very early and I never understood why I would waste resources on a base I’ll just leave behind.

I spent 40 hours looking for a cozy planet, but my corvette is my base.
I also basically have no progress in the install X component to your base quest.

You didn’t have to move on. If you go like 10,000 ly away you can still teleport back from any station if you build a portal at your base.
I still have the same shitty base I built years ago even though I’m a few thousand ly away from it now.
