I'm playing my first game ES2 game with UE, I'm in turn 180 already. As I progressed through the game, I made friends with some empires - Riftborn and Horatio to be specific. So here's the thing - I was just messing around with some trade possibilities and I discovered that I can actually buy 1/3 of galaxy for couple of techs in exchange, using only influence to make a trade. Inb4 overcolonization - it's not really that much of a problem in late game, there's plenty of options to eliminate it completely (e.g. lvl 4 system upgrade building that make system not count as a system or +30 support for home system law). I really enjoy playing this game but I think this should be much harder to buy other empire's system - or the value of tech in trade should be determined completely different.

Thanks in advance.
