I sneakingly highjack this thread with some related questions, regarding colonies. Aimed at the more experienced player.
I have nexerelin and Industrial evoulution.
1. In faction trading: Does proximity matter? Will my colonies supply each other even from separate systems, and if so does distance even factor in?
2. I am planing on conquering the moral backwards, but industrially strong worlds of Diable Avionics. Why search for good worlds when others sit on them in full view.
If i steal their fuel operations first, will that affect the strength of their fleets? Can i sustain an assault on a faction without a base of colonies myself?
3.Can i make heavy industries work, without building in faction logistics first, like mining, and lighter industries?
Thanks in advance.
