Our empire gains +1 influence each month, and need ~50 more.
It'll take ~50 months which is a lot of time.
So, what can one do to increase the monthly influence of an empire?

So I've just made contact with some aliens and they aren't trying to horribly murder me.
I've got 3 options for responses for some of the different traits my species has. None of them show any effects in the hover text, is there a difference?

How do I create a Sector in Stellaris?
I'm playing Stellaris. The tutorial AI has been repeatedly (literally non stop) telling me to create sectors.
There is a Planets & Sectors menu as part of the main menu bar (it's even mapped to F4). It does not contain a "create sector" or "split…

How to get other empires to agree to "demand vassalization" peacefully?
I'm trying to peacefully expand my empire in Stellaris and I'm thinking of possible ways to do so.

Will Sector-Administrated planets ever upgrade their Colony Ship?
I threw one of my colonial planets into a sector in a recent spat of colonizing, since I needed more, newer, planets in my cores!

Is there a reason to still build ships smaller than your largest available size?
I recently unlocked cruisers. Looking just at the numbers, they seem to simply have a better value for their price than destroyers or corvettes.
Corvettes still have a purpose as cheap and expendable scouts. But I am just talking about their combat…

At which rate does the leader pool rotate?
I noticed that the choices to pick from in the Stellaris leader pool seem to change from time to time.

How do planet adjacency effects work?
I've just started a new game, and am exploring the various options. I've run into the planetary details screen. Each tile can support one building, and one population. Thing is, I noticed these little + arrows next to some buildings, and hovering…

What do the different colors of my fleets' firepower mean in Stellaris?
In Stellaris, my fleets' firepower amounts are listed under their location in the Outliner window in yellow. I assume this is the default font color for the UI.
However, one of my fleet's firepower label is listed in red, and there's no indicator…

Can i determine the species that's on a colony ship in stellaris?
Update: The Clarke patch of June 1 solved the problem.
It seems that once you have built a colony ship, there seems to be no way to check which species it transports from clicking on the ship. This isn't a problem early in the game, when you have…
