Hello, i have alot of planets, but they seem to have always smaller "color" rings around them then enemy. Right now i have a star system close to an enemy star system. My is red, i am hissho and the enemy is yellow, and his yellow ring is getting closer and closer to my star system. Can someone explain, what can i do to increse my influence? or what ever it is? So my star system rings are bigger, and expand faster. Tnx for reading and i hope you understand what i am talking about. Btw my tax rate is 5% (+40dust) and all my star system are more then happy so my grow rate of population is maxed out on current planets but i want them to have bigger rings.

You can find the formula for influence here:

It's basically a function of population and fids (food, industry, dust & science). More the system has, greater the influence. You can also build some improvements like the cis-oort satellites to increase system influence.
