Having played both, Stellaris is much better game than GalCiv 3 imho.
Ofc if you want to build your own spaceships brick by brick, Gal Civ 3 is for you. Here we have chassis and weapons options only, per class. Not brick by brick build up.

i'm struggling with the same. apparently u need to upgrade ur capital or declare an enemy a rival in order to gain influence.

Can anyone tell me if/how I can upgrade research or mining station defences? I've got some weapon reseach completed but when building a new research station it still has the 'initial' weapons systems...
You guys know you can build colonies outside your borders right? Also you use frontier outposts as temporary border pushers, dissemble them when you need more influence. Dont keep them up forever. You can set rivals and get research and buildings that increase your influence. And yeah set planets as sectors so you dont go over the limit.

Empire tab - top right - manage sectors, then choose adjoining planets to manage themselves, you can assign a governor too. This frees up your habitable worlds - mine's only 5 atm but I have around 9 planets colonised.
muchas gracias

So if I made 5 planets into a sector this would count as one planet and require only one governor?
Soldato
it doesn't require a governor and it doesn't even count as one planet.
Soldato
I've only just realised you can make sectors to create headroom for more colonies. That's what I've been missing, and why other empires have been able to expand more than mine.

In the words of Del Boy, you know it makes sense

Here's an interesting combat guide to read - https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellaris/comments/4itolj/so_i_wrote_up_a_little_fleet_guide_for_anyone/

Where was that? Was 27 last place I saw. £24 tickles my fancy!

It would seem I'm not allowed to post it here, am I allowed to PM him the site name?
Finally got a chance to play at 2am this morning after sorting my 6700k build.
The Galactic British Empire is forging ahead with informing the galaxy how to speak English correctly, when to put the teabag in and how to queue.
We're Intelligent, Slow Breeders, Sedentary and Industrious. So +10% Science, +15% Growth Time, +50% Migration Time, +33+ Resettlement Cost and +15% Minerals.
On top of that we're Individualists, Xenophiles and Materialist. So +10% Credits, -50% Slavery tolerance, +5% ethics divergence, -10% Xenophobia and +5% Science.
We're a democracy so I can control 7 planets and soon 9.
Playing with wormholes and from just my home system there are 19 habitable planets, 8 of which are suitable for me (3 without research) and 2 of those 3 are in the same system! A 17 and a 24.
6 hours in or so and I have 6 planets and 3 outposts. Building an outpost where needed until I can colonise and then dismantle it and build elsewhere. No alliances or anything yet, just a few trade deals. Only just declared a couple of rivals because a) they hated me anyway and b) the influence is handy to get.
So far London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Glasgow are all doing ok, though 3 only got formed very very recently so are still very new and need managing.
Hopefully I can get the change so that I can control 9 planets before I need to give one of the potato sector AI.
