New player and fighting influence/broadcasting towers

from Sins Forums

So i just got this game a couple of days ago, and i absolutely love it!

but i have one problem...

When i play in huge maps and the game is a couple of hours in and i travel to other star systems i simply can't colonize them.

they are filled with broadcasting towers and no matter how many i destroy i simply can't seem to raise my influence and colonize a planet in order to make som towers myself to negate the others.

 

So any tips and tricks how to get around this (Colonizing them earlier is often not a option)

 

Cheers  :grin:

Capital ships suppress culture. If you clear out the planet and wait around for a while it will clear out. If you don't want to wait that long:

1. Advent Starbases can be given the ability to both spread and suppress culture. Build one at the planet (Starbases use a special constructor ship and you can build them even if you don't own the planet) and buy the culture upgrades. That'll also help you if you want to conquor the neighboring systems by giving you some local culture generation. I don't remember if the other two factions can do the same thing.

2. The Advent Superweapon can spread culture on any hostile planet, fire that off on the neighbors.

3. If the neighboring planets have their own culture generation in mass quantities, you may simply need to go around and take out one or two more before you can colonize anything. Once you have a beachhead in the area you can bulid your own culture and it gets a lot faster.

Sit a few capital ships in the planets and you'll eventually make it go down, from there build your own comm towers.
