Does anyone know how to get the base counter measures or are they unavailable at this time?

I think they are unavailable until Base Combat is introduced. When it does come out, all hell is going to break loose. So be prepared. Base combat is close to being introduced.

Combat might be next week along with the next kronyn mission, we have been preparing and putting lots of shields and hull on our base, I'd advise you to do the same so your base isn't the first to be disabled

I don't believe this is necessary. Dan has said there would be warning before combat started, probably about a week.

Well its possible, hes said stuff about more embassies and other things.
