You sent the Reach Defense Force to refit in the last episode
It's really hard to understand you when you talk
you were saying some stuff about not knowing where your eco was coming from when your cashflow was negative, bonus income is when your civilian's private eco pays the state for new ships, taxes on resource trading, including trade from alien empires comming to you. if your private eco is very strong then bonus eco can be fairly reliable, but best way to boost eco is get more planets and higher pop, + make sure every new planet has at least a small space port so it can build ships for private sector, wich they love to do when you get a new planet.
also if you want MASSIVELY strong orbital defences, but are worried about the maintenance you can always build the oribtal defence with like 500+ torpedoes 10k sheilds and armour then gift it to an ally if you are confident they wont backstab you. then THEY have to pay the maintenance but it will still defend you, so long as you maintain a mutual defence pact with them, im especially fond of doing this vs shakturi and gifting my defence platforms to the ancients once i join the ancient alliance.
in the last game i played shakturi blew up my homeworld + captured 8 other colonies of mine, all i had left was 2 colonies, 1 of them was humans homeworld which i captured when i saw it had gone independant xD shakturi conqured half the galaxy and it was a max size/stars galaxy, but my last 2 colonies were holding out thx to 4 defence platforms, each with 100 of each weapon type i had, + 500 torpedoes, 20k sheilds 20k armour. (at 1st i tried just one defence base like that, then 2, but each time they drove off the enemy fleet but was destroyed, 4 seems to be enough to hold off the shukturi despite their numbers and massive tech.)
