I was going to suggest the Advanced Shuttlebays as an addition to the Risner starbase, but i see it's already suggested.

Since Mayson is defensive, perhaps Defense Patterns can be added as a special to his starbase.

Advanced shuttlebays for a starbase sounds cool and makes sense, however starbases could require a seperate thread then

Indeed. Perhaps a mod can split the topic.

I'll add a quote with a post which mentions starbase weapons:

primary weapon for risner: standard pulses
primary weapon for mayson: quantum pulses

first upgrade for risner: standard beam
first upgrade for mayson: type XV

second upgrade for risner: photons
second upgrade for mayson: quantums

as long as each stage did roughly the same dps, with the primary weapons doing exactly the same dps for balancing reasons, then it would be fine by me.

maybe a fighter detachment could be a separate upgrade for risner, and runabouts for mayson. as suggested before.

i think magnan should stay on phalanx. its too unique.

I'd keepat least 1 weapon the same as normal. Mayson may have access to slightly different tech, but Starfleet would only allow so much customization of their ships. There's still a standard to keep in mind.

I'd suggest the following way;

Mayson's base gets quantum pulse instead of normal pulse by default.
Risner's base gets the weapons as they are now, and in addition the passive 'advanced shuttlebays' as suggested before.
It does make alot of sense that the outposts would have the capacities to support carrierless fighters, and may be the devs implement a way to transfer fighters from carriers to ships (and if ever outposts) with advanced shuttlebays some day. I suggest using the shuttlebay-passives for the dominion starbases as well.
