Do the influence starbases only affect the influence levels of the planets around them, or do they affect the actual tiles around them? In other words, if I put a starbase out in the middle of nowhere, far from my planets, will it eventually turn into my territory?
I think it does turn in to your territory.
I recall one game where I was lamot at the % level to get the Influence victory, and built a couple Influence bases and found myself over it. However, it could also have been thatthe population of my planets had grown during that period to male it.
A test would be to bild several Influence bases, check your % towards Influence victory, save game, then destroy the bases, and check again the next turn to see if your % had dropped.
If you do that, please post the results for confirmation!
I can confirm that building an influence starbase out in the middle of nowhere does add to your influence score. I've used it once or twice to give me that push needed for an influence victory without having to alienate the surviving AIs.
Me too.
