Upkeep?

[Ari Hadar]

to make things a bit more realistic could add a weekly maintenance charge for all ships in your fleet

so every week you'd have to pay 10k for every ship you have

if you don't pay the maintenance the ships hull/shields are cut by half and weapon damage is cut in half

aka ship will only run at 50%

[Evil Person]

10k per ship, hmmm every faction would go bankrupt.....um..............


How about, you pay 1,000 per ship,per week, and if you dont it will loose:

1 Weapon attack (both hull and shields)
0 Hull (hull doesent require much maintinece)
15 shields
Loose 0.1 Speed


Sound Good

[Ari Hadar]

i don't get the weapon part

your saying if I don't pay for my keldon its attack would be 3499?

[Evil Person]

If your attack is this:

100 Shields, 50 Hull

After 1 week it will be this:

99 Shields, 49 Hull

2 Weeks

98 Shields, 48 Hull

And so on

[Ari Hadar]

i get it now

Umm okay, let's just say to pay 1,000 for every ship you have and say this is a maintenance fee. And technically in Star Trek Universe, they never paid for maintenance if they needed it they just went to a star base.

[Evil Person]

True, ok, lets go like this, instead of paying, every week, a ship needs to report to a refit base, this is a new base i will add, it refits like 4 ships at a time, if you dont, it will take shields down by 15, and weapons down by 1, for every week, this also gives you the abbility to make mothball fleets, old ships that you ddont want to upkeep, for every ship you buy, you post what day it needs upkeep, and also it takes 1 Hour to upkeep for every week it misses upkeep, this is wierd though, becuase ships usually dont need upkeep the crew can usually preform upkeep......i think Venator was saying though how much the station uses to pay for the upkeep.

[Viceroy]

How about a maintenance fee for the Space Stations ? 2,000 a week which cut up will pay every Engineer to update it, just say every Station needs to be updated every week which will cost the maintenance fee in order to keep the Station Running. You see, it is much more simpler and easier. If one does not have a Station then he or she does not pay the maintenance fee. Also, how about it is paid the first day when you get your income which I think is either on Sunday or Monday.

[Evil Person]

Today and tommarow, i think..........anyway lets just ignor it for now, and come back later in the game. it is to complicated for the beggining.

[Ari Hadar]

i only come up with the idea so we couldn't get flighty rich

[Viceroy]

yeah, I suppose you are right.

By the way Venator, what is the matter with getting filthy rich ?

[Ari Hadar]

I've no idea I like be flighty rich in games but seeing others makes me sad

take me for example i get 425.000 every day i could easily get a fleet of starbases (why i dunno)

[Viceroy]

Wait a minute, does the Federation have more planets than the Cardassian Order.

[Evil Person]

Yes, each faction has a difforent amount of planets.

[Viceroy]

I know, but I thought the Federation had more than the Cardassian Order. I only earn like 100 and something from my planets.

[Evil Person]

....the romulans only have 10 planets, and get 200,000, it is 20k per planet, remember that. I think the federation has like 20-35 planets.

[Ari Hadar]

i have 3 super mines, a advanced mine and a normal mine comes to about 400k and a bit
