I was told to post here. I tested in another war and I can capture mines but starbases explode

I wasn’t sure if this was a technical issue or intended

I can see their map I don’t think there is a way to see their military strength except maybe deep cover. Should be an easier way just to get a rough estimate

I get reports on their gdp on the victory screen

I captured one and it exploded. In the original game could you capture a stat base before invading planet? Was kind of hopping I could capture it and leave infrastructure in place

“slowest tech speed”

Edit again: Mining stations don’t cost the state money. Try rushing warp technology early and build stations on all resources you lack. You should get a good income that way


Is it a good idea to build mining stations everywhere? I've had pretty good success only ...

“slowest tech speed”


That’s probably your problem if you are setting a slow tech game. I try to get the 2nd warp technology early so I can get out of system and it’ll encourage private sector to build ships. A lot of my income comes from private ship building

Edit: Luxury resources increase ...

In all my play throughs I end up just doing the “protection agreement” with the pirates and it works out fine. Try just doing the treaty with them and waiting to get technology. You get bonus income from private sector when they build ships

Edit:unless they changed the game so pirates are demanding ...

You can colonize and then set the planet to resettle your own race off the planet

Change your diplomatic stance towards specific empires to manual and then befriend or ally and see if that helps

Go to the diplomatic menu and then go to the screen of the empire you want to be friends with

I think they’ll fix this in future update

With firing arcs I think it would be important if one of my ships could get behind the other one and just keep blasting at it. How helpful are victor engines. The hybrid one might be good

The logic is that the Boskara actually have a sense of honor and want to help you economically so it will be a fair fight

Best part is you are at war

My fighters are also slower than the motherships. They can not even return to the motherships if she is moving.

Very odd.



Seems bugged if fighters are that slow. Under ship design their speed is pretty fast. They should be good at evading things. If they are in a storm have them wear one ion ...

Some of the greatest empires in my games have “colonies” next there names so some can be pretty successful

Could just be bad luck. I’ve seen people complain that in games like this the computer gangs up against the player but I think it’s just unlucky random number generation

I can steal a territory map and I somehow know the revenue everyone has but I’m completely blind about their military power. I would like a system where there are different levels of intelligence on other empires. At the beginning we’d have no estimate on rival military power but as time goes on we ...

seems weird i have to coup a democracy to swap to republic why cant i vote.
i dont want my leader to die
it should also be possible to divert funds for propaganda to long term switch to even more militaristic government


Would be cool to have factions in this game. Like if you could put ...

Scientist not on Space Ports might be intendet, since Space Ports dont activate planetary Boni as well.

Distance does not matter with Admirals,
and two Admirals are usefull if the have different boni.


Thanks for information

Do you know if there is a way to choose which ship gets an admiral ...

Is there a benefit to a fleet having two admirals, does distance matter? Also I can’t put scientists on space ports, don’t know if this is intended
