GC2 and SR2 are completely different genres. GC2 is a 4X game while SR2 is more of a privateer type game. I like them both equally in their seprate genres. However, SR2 is one heck of a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong game and it takes forever for it to break out into a whole NEW game with the RTS planetary conquest mode - but the long journey to that element of the game is a fun and interesting one. They both are in dire need of voiceover though. I actually own Starship Tycoon also

Consider what an Influence Starbase really is: It's a News Propaghanda Satellite that beams positive news about the planet that owns the starbase and negative news about YOU! It's a COLD WAR starbase so diplomacy is the only way to deal with whoever places one in your sector. You simply need to out propaganda them by placing your own Influence Starbase that is more powerful. Power module upgrades can be compared to turning up the power coverage and owning more planetside media outlet
