Once built, the starbase will appear orbiting the center point of the system. Other modifiers to the total influence cost can be found below. For example, an adjacent system (1 jump) costs 75 influence, a system 2 jumps away costs 150 influence, or 94 influence with Slingshot to the Stars.

This is reduced by the Slingshot to the Stars origin, which reduces the distance multiplier by 75%. The influence cost is a base of 75, multiplied by the number of hyperlane jumps, including bypasses, between the target systems and the empire's closest owned system.

The build cost is 100 alloys and an additional influence cost on top of that. Constructing a starbase requires first fully surveying the desired system.
