Grats on making it to the top 25 empires too!!

LOL Yes I am aware of the ability of NZ to join the Australian Commonwealth. New Zealand doesnt have a constitution so ours doesnt say anything about it!! (See we are too poor to afford a constitution!!). God this message board - sucks - there is no organisation to it at all.
My "strategy" for what it is worth is defenders -> battle axe -> battle cruiser -> battleship -> dreadnaught. As I havent seen any way to "sell" ships other than to other civilisations I tend to give them away to whoever is fighting the next leading civ after me as I build sufficient replacement units.
So as not to hijack Warty's Aussi Empire thread... Just saying "hi" to any other New Zealanders out there playing the game.
..and you must be up late warty - must be near midnight in Oz at least on the east coast...
LOL just me in it and I am stuck in a gigantic empire so wont be submitting a score for a wee while yet (but I am winning so it should be worth mucho points). But for any NZers out there empire "Kiwi" is free to join :)
Bah, no edit function that was supposed to read "Hi to everybody"
to every body. Good to see you Aussies getting organised :) I dont live in New Zealand any more, but you have to stay true to your roots, eh :)
But (to return to what I thought the original question was) Is there any point/benefit in building a star base NEXT to an enemy system - does this increase the influence effect or will building it anywhere in the sector have the same influence effect?
