so I'm in the late game of available content (finished world 11 already and only do artificial worlds now). but I noticed that when you increase your fleet size through orbital rings, station colonies, or artificial worlds, it doesn't actually increase the difficulty of taking capital sectors (in the case of artificial worlds, it only increases it as though it was 1 planet instead of 5). at this rate, I'm able to abuse this fact and actually completely wipe out 2 of the factions and invade the cewinsii before I even reach the 40 sectors necessary to be focused. is this intentional scaling? because at this rate I'll completely take over the galaxy before world 15 is released

on top of this actually, increasing the multiplier for fleet size also doesn't increase the difficulty of worlds, because of this, my multiplier at around 24x is actually high enough to out scale the difficulty increases that come with taking sectors
