With the culture upgrade maxed all nearby enemy planets get a real problem. Vasari counter Starbases with their own SB's.

I hope there will be a hotfix/patch soon that adresses this issue. Even if they know that they have a bigger disadvantage, they should at least show some resistance and defend their remaining planets, especially if their economy is still intact. They just surrender way too early.
Stars can have 4 SB's while other systems only allow one.
Only the Vasari Starbase can move. EDIT: LOL. Too late [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
If you have a paypal account you can link your bank account the paypal account. Paying per direct debit did not work for me. (I am also from germany) You can transfer money from the bank account to your paypal account (Takes a couple of days). Now you can buy anything you want from Impulse as long as there is enough money on the paypal account. It's like a prepaid option. With this method I bought Sins and Entrenchment.
