Age & Influence

I keep checking every turn, it shows 72 / 84. Does it mean i researched 72 techs out of 84? And need 84 tech to reach ascension age?

Also, can foreign influence flip enemy shipyards and/or star base too? Does it depend if at war or not? Often I find myself going into peace

with a race and their star base / shipyards end up in my influence zone cause I conquered their worlds. Their in-operational and useless,

I figured I can put them back to work. At least able to bargain at a lower price.

Ok it's not a bug, it's working but theres still the question of flipping starbase and starships, do they have that in the game?

Your original question was about star bases and shipyards flipping when planets were conquered.  Frogboy has been working on the code over the holiday weekend, and if I remember correctly, he made a change that shipyards that lose their last sponsor due to conquest will disappear.  So in a future patch look for that to happen.

I think star base flipping would be bad for the game but it would be an interesting twist

It's already bad for the game when an enemy Starbase ends up in your influence zone and fully functional. And their pretty well armed, huge risk on blowing them up especiall when you don't want to go to war. And why isn't World flipping bad for the game and not Starbase?
