I don't know about other folks, but for me it really cheapens the point of fleet progression to see all the stuff that we can't use. This means that the interior of a maxed out fleet starbase probably looks similar to a level zero fleet starbase.
I'd much rather the non-functional consoles and officers were not shown until we tiered up the starbase and earned them.
If there has to be soemthing there... at the very least, swap them out for consoles that clearly appear to be under construction, perhaps, until they're earned?
One man's opinion.

Getting invited to a starbase that has and seeing all the shinies that you don't have, would seem to encourage people to go and work on building theirs.
