Some kind of decay is needed for the new style buildings. The data load keeps getting bigger and heavier, with no relief. Also, it is possible for one person to maintain a ridiculously large empire, something that was expicitly not supposed to happen. If possible, the mechanism for decay should not penalize players who cannot log in for a while. Something must be done; the smaller servers are getting overwhelmed.
...
Buildings that are not incorporated into a city are subject to abandonment and decay, the same as buildings in cities or bases. There are no reports to show the abandonment status of unincorporated buildings.
You really seem to hate unincorporated buildings.
It would still be easier to simply treat worlds as cities, and have capitol buildings take over that role once one exist.
In before you say that you like having multiple cities on one world. Why do you think they have yo be separate "cities" to accomplish that? Two blobs of buildings with each their own custom named airport can already act as a city.

Buildings get a morale penalty after no avatar on line has visited their system in a while. Shouldn't they be happy when an avatar comes to visit?
Cities get a morale boost when their system is visited by an avatar on line. For one day after the visit, a '+1 Cosmopolitan' morale boost will appear on the report.
So when my abandoned city detects an enemy empire's warship in their system, they get a morale bonus? Cool, but I would have to charge them with treason for throwing the enemy a parade.
