I have spoken with Marquis and suggested that it looks like Uressce is ripe for expansion into OPC.
The planet there is a ore/metal spawner and there are 3 neutral(without alliance) buildings there. There are no defenses there and would open us to attack from the Pirates.
As we now have over 40 members and still continue growing, this sector is linkedto both LaGreen AND Miola, providing planet to planet trade and building space. The planet will drain FWE but provides many other building materials to ease growth. SFs are the logical first choices but with LOTS of open tiles,a small neb zone and energy is everywhere; we probably can make it the most DIVERSE sector under our control.
Here's My point: If you have a stable building already, this can be a good place to branch out to for a little extra profit. But as it is still an emerging economy, be careful to defend it and keep several ticks of upkeep at all times. I suggest all building owners to visit and decide for yourself before filling your slots (you get 2 till 10k xp).
