2018-08-21 Galaxy Capital, Map Key

[Haxus]

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.
  

Empire Capital City

• 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.
  

Galaxy Capital City

• 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.
  

Sector Capital City

• 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.
  

City

• 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.
  

Military Base

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

Transport Fee for Recruits
When I pick up passengers, they are prepared to pay for the passage. I get paid when I drop them off at an airport terminal but I don't get paid when I drop them off at a military base.

Passengers now pay regular fares when debarked at a military base.

Base Board Cryo
I can unload new recruits at a base from cryo or passenger berths. If I want to empty a base, there is no way to load everybody. You can only load space marines, crew and officers.

Base personnel who are not space marines, crew or officers can now be boarded into cryo berths.

Military Passengers
I cannot load passengers from a military base but an officer can.

Fixed an error that permitted an officer to load passengers from a military base when ordered to do so.

Map Key
The map could use a key to explain the colored spots.

A control was added to the map window that lists things on the map that add colored dots. Claim flag, town squares, capitols, airport terminals, base hq's and base air terminals are listed. Other buildings are not listed to keep the list short.

Geological features are also listed, the ones that would appear as transporter destinations.

Select a place in the list to center the map on its location.

Capitol building.
Capital city.

It is a minor typo, but still.

Thank you. I have struggled with that one.

I fixed the post. Will go make a pass through the code now to fix it there too.

I think you fixed it most places in the code last time, but yeah you have been saying it wrong a few times in the last few update posts I think.

A lot of players seem to get it wrong too though, so don't feel bad. I would never have known about it if it wasn't for Anr. ^^;

On the topic of tribute and bases. I still like the idea of bases costing money to maintain.

It's just one of the common misspellings. Wictionary is a good place to check with.

Dangit, I read Galaxy Capitol and I thought there was a new type of Capitol building with more stuff it can do, but alas.

I am guessing you just haven't released an update with the fixes yet?

Code:

Capitol city was not changed. I do not have governing authority to declare it the capitol.

Rævehjerte is now the galaxy capitol of Shores of Hazeron.
Cities with banks collect taxes. Set tax rates using the Governance window. 50% of taxes collected by Foxtail cities in Shores of Hazeron will be sent to Rævehjerte, or to their sector capitol, once per day. 50% of taxes collected by Rævehjerte will be sent to the empire capitol once per day.
Taxes cannot be sent across the Sigma Discontinuity.

I am finished fixing the use of capitol vs capital everywhere. Thank you so much for your comment "Capital City, Capitol Building". That helped a lot.

The fix has not been posted yet. It will be in the next update.
