Are servant space stations in orbit a thing to worry about?

[limith]

Wondering if I should worry about them as they are spamming them out in orbit. Resistance has most of the asteroids, I have most of mars.

Also unfortunately I have a councilor with ethic so I guess I can't destroy them later on. :S

It's probably a good idea to get rid of them.

Also, you can get rid of their stations without atrocities by using marines to capture it and then decommission it.

Earth Interface Orbit? Get rid of it - you don't want Servants building a Social Science lab for buffing their Propaganda campaigns.

It's probably just me but I never allow AI to have anything in orbit of my stellar bodies past early game. They have asteroid belt for their share of space game everything else is off-limits. With early total war strategy they're unable to be even a distraction for aliens so I don't want other factions to launch a surprise attack.

No, it's not just you - why would you allow them to be a distraction when you can do it better yourself, right?

They don't have any social science labs, I checked. Lots of habitats, some general research labs. Some knowledge and military labs.

Do I just build ships with only marines on them and send them to the stations basically? Wouldn't the aliens defend them? There's like 5 alien destroyers orbiting Earth. I don't have any reasonable way of defeating the aliens right now. I have 82 research, Servants have 45, Resistance has 42-45. Just unlocked tier 2 research tech and building more research stations. In terms of military I have grid engines and nothing else basically, no adamantine armor, no missiles, no good reactor cores. Also no lasers.

Yes. Double or even tripple the station defense (marked with green-golden star) to have a good chance of success.

They don't defend them. But they could attack your ships and bases once their hate is enough (and yes, they will get a bit of hate for assaulting Servants station).

So don't worry about that station - if aliens have a presence on Earth orbit you will soon encounter faaaar bigger problems ;)

I hope you have enough powerful armies or at least nukes. Because aliens going to invade Earth.
