The three rings of tiles are Ring 1 (the dark inner ring), Ring 2 (the ring your homeworlds are on) and Ring 3 (the outer ring). Since the individual sectors aren't marked, we've been using compass directions. So he's making an Explore action, on the tile that's through the SE gate from his home system, and it's in the outside of the two rings, so it's a Ring/Sector 3 tile.

That depends heavily on how much you prepare.

e: To be clearer, preparing for war in Eclipse generally involves acquiring a stock of materials, some military technologies, and possibly upgrading some blueprints. I'm not going to just try to zerg rush you, but if you purely eco up (buy economic techs, pump science almost exclusively) then I almost have to come over there since I'm playing an early-game faction.

I used to not be too fussed about having core access. Then a guy completely blocked me from the rest of the board with one tile. No wormhole generator tech was drawn the entire game. My tiles were terrible. Now I make sure I have core access.

I think you're missing the importance of what other tiles another Explore would gain or lose someone access to.
