Core systems, sectors and cap
Just found a normal AI empire with 20 planets that is considered equal to me on tech. My core system cap is 7. Just how bad are the effects of going over the core system cap, because this feels rediculous.
Also if i colonise a planet in my influence zone does it count as another core system?
How exactly do sectors work?

3. having a system in a sector causes it not to count towards your core system limit, but allows the sector AI to manage the planet.
there are several options for what the sector is allowed to do with planets that you can enable and disable at will. most are pretty self explanatory

Best consult the wiki. Explains it way better than I could especially after hours of a slog that is War in Heaven xD

Thank you, that cleared things a bit.
Also does going over the cap affect happiness and in case the Ai manages the planet do i still get the bonus from its spaceport to my fleet limit?
