I'm confused about how these alliances have claimed space as their own (i.e., the Free Trade Alliance over 98% of the special ports). How is that done?

Planets with bases allow you to control a sector.

Tip of the day; People = Power.

Ok, I can't figure this out. My score is only 6,000 some and I have 12 planets. Yes that's right, 12 planets. How can my score be so low? I got a ton of population too.

I haven't yet found a special port with planets in the sector. There's got to be some other way, as well.

To deploy sector defenses, click Devices. It should list Fighters and Mines (which go to the same page). You can choose how many of each to deploy, and either Toll or Attack mode for the fighters.

Buy a Genesis Device and make your own planet. Unless there's some kind of restriction on Planet generation within the sector your eyeing...

Special PORTS do not have planets. You can not build planets in special ports either.

the term Free Trade means that the system is a FREE TRADE system, and NOT a clan.

this game is addictive. fortunately since i have used up all my starting turns i can only play twice a day now. once in the morning and once in the afternoon. rest of time have to wait for turns to accumulate.

question: how do you post fighter and mines?

also once i paid off my loan my score appears to have gone back up. i suggest you dont take out huge loans as the interest adds up quickly.

Ok, I was mixing up Free-trade Territory and the Free Trade Alliance (or whatever it's called).

Another tip: Don't spend more time trading at the beginning that it takes to upgrade your ship hull. Trading at each larger size is 50% more efficient = saves turns. You could upgrade hull and engines at the same time, also, to make real-space trading plausible.

my organics are not increasing. all i have are the initial organics i deposited. all other categories are increasing.
i have 200,000 colonists.
production for organics is set to 10%.
planet does have a base.
this is actually happening on all my planets.
