Station BGS question!

So, i soon going to cross the ruling faction in my system. After we win that, i would get an asset right, like a station or planetary base.

Now to my question. This system have 2 stations, 1 planet base. Now how do i do to take over the next station/base? Do i make so they cross eachother again in the influence to trigger another war/election? Or will i get an asset aswell when i hit 60% to compete for ruling faction?

Also, is there a way to determine what station the faction will get/go to war over, or is it random depending on what assets the other faction have?

EDIT: Same faction own all assets atm. The ruling one!

Best Regards

if you defeat the ruling faction through war, civil war or elections then you will take over the main space station and control of the system. to take over the other stations/land bases you will need to raise the former ruling factions influence to intersect your factions influence and start another conflict.

Thank you.. Also, how/where can i see whats the "main" system station?

It's usually the largest asset in the system... so if there's an outpost and a Coriolis,it'll be the Coriolis. If it's a Coriolis and an Orbis, it'll be the Orbis. If there's a tie for largest, "It depends" on a whoooole bunch of things. My rule of thumb is it's usually any orbital Agricultural economy, followed by the closest asset to system jump-in. That's not based on anything factual, just things I've seen happen.

When you go to conflict, you always fight for the most valuable port, and the control station is always the most valuable.

The controlling station is the station that's orbiting the planet with the highest population. Unfortunately, we can't see what the population of planets is, so we have to guess the planet's population.
  • If there's only one Earth-like planet in the system, then it's the station orbiting the Earth-like.
  • If there's more than one ELW, then it's probably the station orbiting the biggest one, since you can jam more people onto a physically larger planet.
  • If there are no Earth-likes, and the stations are all wimpy Outposts, then your only clue is the space stations themselves; the one with the largest number of active services is probably the controlling station. You usually can't use this principle for choosing between ocellus/orbis stations because most such stations have alll services available anyway.

Strictly the controlling station is whichever station was added to the system first. In the systems generated automatically before game launch, Sapyx's and Jmanis' rules are pretty good for finding it. Another option is to compare hydrogen fuel stocks at the markets - whichever is largest (assuming they're all owned by the same faction) probably is the controller.

Where systems have been hand-populated by Frontier after launch, you can get odd cases - Ogmar has a Coriolis and an Outpost, and the Outpost is the controlling station. But 99.9% of systems in the bubble won't be like that.
