Good points made. Late game you can just build a gateway network to connect all of your trade stations to your cap. Piracy becomes pretty much non existent at that point.

thanks a bunch

@jaxx411 I put starbases about 2-4 systems apart, depending. As I say in the video, I like the trade protection from them to overlap, so there's less chance of piracy.

since Stellaris does not give out star bases freely, how far apart do i need to place a star base with a trade hub? or do i only place them where the icon is?

I had already knew some things about trade, but didn't really get a proper guide on it. This explained a few things I didn't know - such as using hangers to protect the routes. I usually just spammed a few small patrol groups of corvettes and a few defense platforms (in each system) to guard the routes, for instance. So, thanks!

nice
