Summary0009160: Built 4 Spire City Hubs in one sector
DescriptionI found out you can build multiple Spire City Hubs in one Sector. Right now in Tasbanyae I have 4 City Hubs two of which are still building. I did this by taking a spire colony ship, just the one, to a sector, pausing the game, and then proceded to drop hubs. Once you drop the first hub keep pressing the mouse button as fast as you can and don't move the mouse. My record is 135 hubs in a sector before it stopped letting me drop them.

This save game only has 4 hubs since I wanted to see if each hub had the 3/6 cap but it looks like the sector is what is capped. The only real advantage I see to having multiple hubs is that you can build multiple spire buildings at the same time. Although you do of course spend the resources to build the 3 hubs initially then you need the resources to actually build the Spire structures. No real advantage that I can see but it's there. At any rate if you want to check it out look at the Tasbanyae sector in my game. It's a system in the upper left area.

It's worth fixing but the modest advantage of being able to build more than one structure at once is more than outweighed by the fact that each hub adds to the FS exo provocation :)

I was curious, and perhaps a bit bored, about whether or not the extra hubs would count towards getting the Galactic Capital and apparently they do. Which means you can more easily achieve the Spire City win condition. I attached a save if you want to check it out. I ended up having two hubs in two systems instead of just one so it's not quite as impressive as having them all in one system. At any rate I marked the hub locations on the map.
