I've read a lot of posts here and all the previews, FAQs and hands-on-impessinos out there and no one has really explained how we are supposed to know when our bases (and which ones) are being attacked. Is this going to be automated in any way or are we going to have to manually share this information to the rest of our faction real-time using broadcast chat channels? I think all of us would prefer some sort of automated method in addition to the manual method.
If we could log in to our closest base and receive real time snapshots or footage of the action taking place shot from the cameras installed at the base under attack this would be great. Of course, once the base has been hacked this wouldn't be possible.

We don't provide *really* early warning. We provide messages that let you know when a base on your continent has been hacked. After that, you have 15 minutes to go resecure it before it flips to the enemy empire.
Any warning "earlier" than that (in otherwords, screening for enemies coming in to hack) will need to be done by naked eyeballs, mosquito patrols, and motion sensors.
