The upgrade amount was changed weeks ago. It doesn't increase cargo by 50% per level anymore, it only goes up by 20% per level now. Your older freighters are still using the old amount, If you upgrade them they will correct themselves.

I changed it at the last minute. It doesn't show Tangoor dynasty as ruling both though when it comes to his titles. Have to check that


There was a bug in the City rulership that cleared Tangoors planetary title as soon as he was re-elected for Sno on turn 5502. That should not happen anymore.

We'll clarify how the system is set up now:

At first we had it so you can only have one government title but that was changed recently. You can have one OF EACH TYPE now. You can be ruler of a city, a planet and a star system.

If you move your Corp HQ outside of your ruling city, you will lose that city title, if you move it off the planet you'll lose the planetary title same with system. You can lose a re-election for a city but still maintain your Planetary title, same goes for Star Lord if you lose the planet. The eligible candidate for city rulership is anyone who has a Corp HQ in that city. For planetary rulership the eligible candidates are the city rulers on the planet AND the current planetary ruler (in case he has no city title, he can still be re-elected). Everyone on the planet with industry can vote on who the planetary ruler will be based on their industry. Star lords work similar to planetary election, The candidates for Star Lord will be the current Planetary rulers AND the existing Star Lord (In case he has no planet title). Everyone with industry in the entire star system can vote for the Star Lord.

Also, currently it takes 3 city rulers on a planet for a planetary election to activate. It will also take 3 established planetary rulers in a system before the star lord election will activate. This number may go up in the future.

Moons currently are handled exactly like any other planet in the system. This MIGHT CHANGE in the future where the cities on moons are considered to be cities on their orbiting planet. that would mean there could not be a planetary ruler for a moon. I might do a vote in the forum for that one =)]]> Sat, 16 Jul 2016 12:32:25 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic1111-the-alpha-test-v-reporting-thread.aspx Message from Doctor Dread Jazzek wrote:

That is as intended. The infrastructure type of products like Housing, Parks, Business structures etc. cannot be Bought or sold normally. When you produce them it automatically "sells" to the local city they are in. No actual product is ever generated. They also aren't restricted by the Volume stat or have to split up how much they can sell in one turn with other corporations. It is very easy to oversell and drop the price into the floor with these structures if you upgrade them too high in a small city.]]> Sun, 26 Jun 2016 09:09:31 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic1111-the-alpha-test-v-reporting-thread.aspx Message from Jazzek Edit: Neither are nightclubs

But in the situation where a city was newly formed,the event launches immediately with no Corp HQs or eligible ruler possible and then cancels itself immediately. I didn't test it that way so I didn't see this outcome. If this was already an established city with Corp HQs present it would of run normally for 100 turns. It will run against that city again in 100 turns and we should see a normal election but the event needs to be reworked.

The event should probably do a "Election is happening in 100 turns" as the first stage. Then do a stage 2 where it initiates the Election with the industry and Corp HQs that are there at the time, if no one is there then it fails like it did and closes. If not then allow people to vote on a ruler for the next 100 turns.

Re-Elections will happen once a week (1000 turns), unless for whatever reason we lose the ruler (moves his Corp HQ, Kills account etc.) the system will detect a city with no ruler and launch the process immediately.]]> Wed, 22 Jun 2016 11:19:02 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic1111-the-alpha-test-v-reporting-thread.aspx Message from CmrdRowen Wed, 22 Jun 2016 08:17:11 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic1111-the-alpha-test-v-reporting-thread.aspx Message from Zandar CmrdRowen wrote:
