Taking over territory's helping ally's take over territory that are at war.
Eventually you would be able to get your own territory but this would cost a lot of materials wouldn't do it at the start.
Going to explain how it would work for helping the ally's
Step 1: You would have to kill of 5 wave's of enemy's getting gradually stronger with the last one summoning a boss and 5-10 other ships.
Step 2: Kill the enemy station (every territory has a station that needs to be killed)
Step 3: AI will try and make a station this can take upto a few in-game days or weeks idk whats a good balance here.
Now we would be going into taking over territory and making it your own.
Step 4: As step 3 stated building a station would be the key to make it your own. This would require materials from iron to Xanion and maybe even avorion or ogonite want feedback on what you think it should cost it could be. But I am thinking millions or at least 500-600k of like xanion so you couldn't go around the starting area and claiming it as your own.
Step 5: You would need a lot of staff to run this maintance on a station isn't cheap.
Step 6: You would need to leave a AI controlled defender fleet behind to defend it. I would say 5+ Ships
Now this could make you some money ofc producing stuff setting up trade routes with friendly AI to generate a passive income.
I know this is a big idea and probably not easy to do but I would like to see some ability to take over territory and removing those enemy factions for good. And then I can call a place Home and be an intergalactic emperor!
