1. play with the beta, otherwise com will be invisible until beta is released
2. basilisk is strong yes, but for 160kmass you can get 4-5 megaliths which kill it, or 3 ahwassas or 3 czars or 6 fatboys or 80 strats, any of which kill it with ease, and half of which will have a good chance of destroying your base before you manage to finish your basilisk.
in fact i think its overpriced for what it does.
its only chance to win is if you kite the enemy, and even then megas can walk across half of the map because only the missiles outrange their main guns.
its aa has high numbers on it, but you need 20-25 strats to kill it (for aeon thats in 1 pass), if you dont like strats thats ok, 15 t3 gunships (not aeon) do the trick, for only 19k mass
in short, if he builds a basilisk, counter with an air experimental, or lots of t3 air. megaliths are also fine - just give a move order into the enemy base, and if he kites you can walk all the way there (too much hp on megas)
if he doesnt kite with his basilisk, then you should have no issue killing it with a fraction of the mass cost, even 2 gc will do the trick
