I juste wana know if i relocate my corporate HQ does all the factory i build move too or they stay there?

I suggest that demand for crops and meat should be weighted more heavily than other products towards population growth. With the possible exception of cotton, which I believe is the only commodity in those categories that can be used to manufacture other products.

Being logged out 30 times a day, puts me pff as well.
If you want another benifit for paid accounts, a much longer timeout would be good

Is that true on other solar systems as well? It makes sense that earth would be the bread basket of Sol, but I can see your point.

I would like to be able to view who fills what positions in a systems govt all on one page.

Heh the thought sure did cross my mind, or make us not get our moneys for 3 months and then we really wreak havoc on the population lol

Call it "The Oligarchs". Here was my two bits on the same Comm thread:

I also think that [Concerned Free Account Player] does kind of miss the point, but he might be wise enough to recognize that the game is not for him. The mistake is assuming that its failing because it doesnt succeeded in appealing to him when he might not, in fact, be part of the target demographic.

This is easy for me to say, of course, because I am starting at the top of the heap. The kickstarter contributors will definitely be the Barons of Sol. The closest historical analogy to BoGs setting would be the discovery, colonization and expansion of the Americas. People crossed the ocean precisely because old money had a monopoly on power and recourses in the old world. They invaded virgin land to build their own world that the old money didnt have a lock on.

It might be more palatable if you think of us old money/kickstarter players as more like NPC faction leaders than competing players. In another game we would be scripted quest givers or evil empires. We can reward you or antagonize you if choose to interact with us. We will probably ignore you if you dont. We are like unpaid staff that is moderating the behavior of the galactic governments right now. Eventually we may fall and be replaced, at which point we might pack up and try to carve out a new domain among the stars.

Hmm... problem with the battle reports messages.

Currently been involved in a number of battles specifically the following battle IDs:

Battle ID 26, Turn 647
Battle ID 30, Turn 650
Battle ID 31, Turn 651
Battle ID 36, Turn 661

However, I have only received notifications of the battle reports for battle IDs 26 and 36 - is this how it's suppose to work? Can be a bit surprising to see that there have been extra unreported battles which were not accounted for or notified.

Cheers.

ok so I was playing around with the guard order ...

I can set a unit to guard a location until it suffers a certain percentage damage - say 50%

I do this as an order so fine so great. But I don't want it just to stop guarding at that point, I would love for it to disengage and head back for repairs. The repair command wouldn't necessarily impact the repair speed of the unit but it would simply keep the unit static until repairs are completed to the required level (in increments of 10%) so you could have orders such as these:

Order 1 - Move to location that needs guarding
Order 2 - Guard until you take 50% damage
Order 3 - Move to secure base
Order 4 - Repair till 100%
Order 5 - Loop back to order 1

See what I did there?

In Viewscreen->Overview there are two checkboxes, "Battles" and "Events", just to the right of the bar graph of social classes. If you check off "Events", it puts a bunch of crosshairs on the map. The "Battles" box doesn't seem to affect the map.

A realistic feature of a mercenary defense contract would be the ability to bug out and default on the contract. So you could still tell your units to retreat when they take a certain amount of damage, but then you don't get paid.
