Do influence starbases need a planet in order to work?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Do influence starbases generate influence as if they are a planet, or do they only pump up the influence of planets in their range?

What does the range do? Do you have to have in influence starbase in range of an enemy planet in order to work,, or does it push out influence into the general area. Any info would be helpful! Thanks!

They do not need planets to function, they push out into the general area as you said. Their power/range is increased when you upgrade them by sending out more constructors to add new influence modules.

They work with or without a planet in their radius, but their influence does not extend past that range. I believe it to be eight sectors.

Influence starbeses dont really work like economy and military starbasesand their basic (no planet near the starbase) range i eight parsec and the more you send contructers the more influencing it get.
