New game mechanic : Influence.

[LetMeCangels]

i can confirm this.
I saw this happening shortly after i gained 50,1 % of a planet and then attacked an adjacent planet. But suddenly my attack was canceled because the planet lost influence.(sorry i don't know the planet anymore)

From what I've seen, it's based on neighbouring planets with >50% influence.

So a Cybran planet with 2 Cybran planets and an Aeon planet next to it will be stable for Cybran influence.
A Seraphim planet with a second Seraphim planet, a UEF planet, and a neutral planet (Neutral = globally hostile) will lose influence fast.

Basically, I think that if hostile neighbours > friendly neighbours = influence drops.

I honestly dont believe you. Attacks have never been cancelled in such cases...

I had that yesterday, attack was not canceled per se but if you stop it you wouldnt be able to launch another one.

For now I concluded that if faction has less than 50% of links their influence drops.
Planets with 2 links to 2 diffent facitons will be stable for both of them as they both have 50%.
