I understand that fighters inflict more damage on objects of greater mass.
Is it worthwhile therefore to increase a starbases' defences (which increases its mass) if expecting a fighter bases attack?

I'm unsure of what you are asking due to your wording but I'll try to clarify:

Beams, torps, fighters do less damage to objects with higher mass.

If you are expecting a carrier attack, then yes it is beneficial to increase defense along with ensuring you have enough fighters to be effective.

Fighters will inflict the same amount of damage no matter if the mass is 320 or 999. Below 320, they do more damage.

What ISO--T said. And yes, it's also true for bases.

There's a lot of complex information available on the subject, if you don't mind reading. I'd recommend "Master At Arms" to start with, from the Links page of the documentation.
