This is invasion. The entering faction will start a conflict with the lowest non-native faction. The winner of the conflict will remain in the system.
Expansion tax appears to be back
- Thread starter Jane Turner
- Start date
An invasion will happen if a faction has no remaining systems with less than 7 factions in expansion range.
It targets the system with the lowest influence non-native faction that isn't already in conflict, wherever that is.
Range is the normal range for that expansion.

Спасибо.
Значит получается, что теперь диапозон экспансии и вторжения увеличился с 24 с.л. до 25 с.л.?
Thanks.
So it turns out that now the range of expansion and invasion has increased from 24 s. l. to 25 s. l.?
The range of expansion is not a sphere, it is a cube 40 x 40 with your system in the centre. The distance from your system to the furthest corners is approx. 34.
If the x,y,z coordinates of a target system are +/-20 from your system, you can reach there.
Nothing has changed, the normal range is a cube +/-20ly, so the maximum "range" can be up to 34.6ly "(20^2 + 20^2 + 20^2) ^ 1/2"
Extended Range (after normal range has failed) is larger. Still not positive if the Extended Range is a 30ly or 40ly cube.
Сколько же тут еще неизвестных мне механик
Тогда получается что на данный момент:
1) Экспансия составляет 24 с.г.
2) Вторжение составляет 20 с.л., но может доходить до 34 с.л. в определенных местах (это по углам, если я правильно понимаю)
How many other unknown mechanics are there
Then it turns out that at the moment:
1) the Expansion is 24 s. g.
2) the Intrusion is 20 s. l., but can go up to 34 s. l. in certain places (it's in the corners, if I understand correctly)
Correct
Pretty sure expansion tax is back, 15% drop in the system expanded from on completion. We are glad to see this back as means les likelihood of multiple expansions from the same system. Seem to spend more time battling ourselves these days so a welcome change.
Whether it is welcome or not will depend on what happens with a failed expansion.
Does expanded range apply to the next expansion from anywhere, or only from that system?
If your next expansion from another system, is the extended expansion lost or saved for the next time you expand from the failed system?

No guarantees it hasn't changed recently, but it used to be that it applied to the next expansion regardless of source and regardless of whether it needed it.
Still there in yesterday's expansion for this faction - https://cdb.sotl.org.uk/factions/22/history (expansion from Randgnid)
It does appear to be a bit random...but not sure. Looks like most factions are getting the expansion tax tbh
