I am not certain which is more painful for me, having to remove parts from my creation or having to make additional parts for it.

I guess.  4 should be a lot bigger, and 3&2 scaled between that and stage 1...

I'd suggest merely selecting said structure in a box, (adding a bit on to it helps too) and merely enlarging it. Then just fine tune the details from there.

You mean like this. I am uncertain what other details I should add.

Detail the shading of the structure more for one thing: Use different gradients of the colours there for that effect, play around with it.

I will do the detail work later this week. For now, I am trying to figure out how to draw the morgan bases in a good manner. Here is a size one base I took from a screenshot of the pre-release game. I expect these bases to be harder to draw than the believer bases.

It reminds me of a UFO or a mushroom cap. Both of those are objects that I have never really had to draw before.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to make the morgan bases?

You achieve metallic effects, as the dome seems to call for, by bringing the contrast way up and making the details sorta light blue.

How is this for an outline of a morgan size 1 base. I plan to put in two short towers for a size 1 base and have them grow taller and larger as the base increases in size.

That looks to be on the right track.  If you're keeping the blue color scheme, you might consider, nonetheless, making the dome on stage four gold...

Good Idea. Here is my twin tower size 1 base. I made sure it would fit inside the perimeter defense.
