FYI on governors: you don't need a governor on every planet. A governor placed on a sector capital will apply their level effect to every planet in that sector, but this is overridden by a planetary governor. So your governor of Earth was already applying a level 3 bonus to Sirius which has now been diminished to level 2 by the planetary governor.
Governor traits only apply to the planet they're on and different types of leaders have different effects, so it can be beneficial to use a planetary governor. However commanders buff worker jobs at the expense of specialist jobs. Having a commander on Sirius prime is fine if you're going to build worker jobs but you put a research lab there so the scientists are going to be debuffed. The effect gets stronger the higher the leader level.
You can see the effects of a governor by hovering your mouse over them.

But sector governor apply just half of their bonus to planets unless it's the sector capital, so it's still beneficial to put a governor, even a lower level one, on a planet.

[@Rmb2489]

@@Devire666that’s true. However a commander governor is definitely not the right pick for a planet with a lab on it as those specialists will get a debuff

[@malaclypse2317]

Don't forget that you have a 33% damage bonus to crystalline entities because of that decision in the previous episode.

You can increase influence production by getting your fleet power closer to your naval capacity. Power PRojection is something new they added a patch or three back to help with influence production.

9:10 It's not that people are passing through Sol, it's just that, if you somehow got a contact without physically meeting them, then the notification will show your home system as the system with the contact. Yeah, it can be confusing and frustrating.

[@Devire666]

27:00 Nah, you didn't. You've closed the window with the first anomaly without assigning a scientist to it.

but why aren't the unending resistance resisting the urge to colonize space.

23:41 can't staisfy everyone all the time!

too many leaders made unity be negative

[@TheFinius]

Interesting start. Hemmed in but good chokepoints. I think the factions switched to unity with the new leader dlc.

[@jonreich9483]

@@TheFinius factions have always produced unity. That's never changed.

[@Devire666]

@@jonreich9483 That's not true. As Quill have mentioned, they've been producing influence previously. That changed at the same time when leaders started to cost unity instead of energy after Paradox decided to increase the importance of unity.
