Galaxy Capital
It would be nice to have a capital in each galaxy.

You can now designate one city in each galaxy to be the galaxy capital. A button was added to the capitol window to do this.

Sector capitals will send their tribute to the galaxy capital, if there is one, instead of the empire capital.

New and old style cities were affected. Either can be a galaxy capital and they will both send tribute to the galaxy capital when appropriate.

This does not affect city abandonment rules. A sector capital is still needed to keep in touch with the cities in a sector. A galaxy capital is not needed to maintain contact with sector capitals.

Base Status Personnel Wrong
When I ask my base for status, it reports only those people at the academy and at the space marine barracks. What about everybody populating the other buildings?

Fixed an error reporting base personnel.

Transferred Passengers to Base and They're Gone
I debarked some passengers to my military base. They left the ship. The population of the base did not change. Where did they go? I debarked cryo passengers and they seemed to transfer just fine.

Fixed an error adding transient population to cities and bases.

Tribute
New cities do not send tribute to their capital.

New cities now send tribute.

• Cities must have a bank and their empire must have an empire capital to send tribute.
  
• Tribute is never sent across the sigma discontinuity.
  
• Tribute is sent once per day, at the first city report during the midnight hour GMT.
  

• Sends tribute to the overlord empire capital, if the empire is a vassal.
  
• Holds the money if the empire has no overlord or if the money could not be sent across the discontinuity.
  
• Tribute amount is a percentage determined when the vassal swore allegiance to the overlord.
  

• Sends tribute to the empire capital.
  
• Holds the money if there is no empire capital or if the money could not be sent across the discontinuity.
  
• Tribute amount is 50% of the money in the bank system.
  

• Sends tribute to the capital of its galaxy.
  
• Sends tribute to the empire capital, if no galaxy capital.
  
• Holds the money if no capital or if the money could not be sent across the discontinuity.
  
• Tribute amount is 50% of the money in the bank system.
  

• Sends tribute to the capital of its sector.
  
• Sends tribute to the capital of its galaxy, if no sector capital.
  
• Sends tribute to the empire capital, if no galaxy capital.
  
• Holds the money if no capital or if the money could not be sent across the discontinuity.
  
• Tribute amount is 50% of the money in the bank system.
  

• Does not have a bank.
  
• Does not send tribute.
  

Not sure if intended or not, but moons in inferno orbit have a life support requirement of 'Inferno Atmosphere' instead of 'Airless Moon' despite having no atmosphere. As a result 'Airless Moon' blueprints won't load.
City is Crimson Totem of Tarasca, Tarasca IIIc, Tarascan Sector Sector (0, 0, -1), Shores of Hazeron.

I was landed in a pretty empty system, just a old-style city on a habitable world. Told my ships to keep "Shields down unless non-empire contact detected." But the shields were kept on.

so instead of pre allocating them in the creation screen you would be able to train them up like flying and runing raises agility and so on

With certain larger ship designs I have been unable to land at the airport of my capital city via the crew channel commands.  The spacecraft just bounces up and down in the upper atmosphere trying to land.

• I can pilot the ship down and land
  
• I can land on terrain and go to airport issue a command to land at "these" coordinates and all works just fine.   
  
• Smaller shuttle type ships, don't seem affected.  
  
• Using the same Airport blueprint in other cities I have not have any issue landing the larger ship at the airport.  
  

When I land at an airport and ask crew with an officer to repair the spaceship the response is always positive yet not completed when when Airport Repair Shop, or airport or materials are below the spacecraft's QL.  
          Now I need to execute the officer for lying.   :D

Captain: Rig the spacecraft for repair or refit.
Ship:     Aye, Rig for Repair or Refit. Officer get Repairs.
Officer:  Rig the spacecraft for repair or refit. Done sir.       <<- not true in many cases

Can there be more accuracy in responses based on whatever check is occurring?
Such as:

• Airport or Airport repair shop is not up to our standards, sir. 
  
• Sir, repairs are partial due to lack of materials.

First off, I don't mind the new building designer. Making building designs is fairly easy and can looks awesome.

However the issue is when it comes to defining what that blueprint is gonna be used for. Do you add more "workshops" so it works as a factory, sure but then do you also add "arenas" so it can be used as an arena? You can do that if you want, but why? A building blueprint with 20 workshops and 10 arenas would be huge and would never be able to do both things at the same time.
Freedom of design is good, but there is no need to allow players to make horribly stupid designs with a ton of different uses but is bad at all of them.

I suggest that morale buildings, military buildings and government buildings all get restricted so that they can only be used for their intended purpose.

Examples:

• An arena blueprint should only be usable as an arena.
  
• A church blueprint should only be usable as a church.
  
• A housing blueprint could be used as any housing type building.
  
• Factory blueprints can be generic and used for any factory type building.
  

I can't place a town square

Just a random idea, while holding a torch in your hand small animals could be scared and try to stay away from you.

Would be useful for just starting out. If it is too useful it can be made to only/not protect you at night.

A higher tech device could be added to scare away all animals (mega beasts included), but that just falls down into my long list of utility equipment ideas.

This latest mechanic of a ship taking damage when not landing on stable ground seems a little hard on the newer ships and not sure if this is a bug or a mechanic that needs to be tweaked for lower QL ships and cargo.

Issue:  New ship low QL ~35QL with inventory of over 2000 units of low QL items landing in terrain, took damage and ALL cargo was lost.    I guess we can accept some percentage of loss perhaps a cap of some sort until the ship is destroyed, but every piece of inventory was lost and the hull has no damage!
