Commission

Commissions are credits paid to, or paid by, a player each month based on the ships possessed. A player receives commissions from their subordinates, and pays commission to their superior.

Credit

The unit of finance in Tiny Empires 3000.

Fleet

The ships owned by a player. There are two totals involved: personal ships owned by the player, and total ships owned by that player and all of their direct and indirect subordinates. Some game functions, notably rank, reference total ships; others, such as colonies, reference personal ships.

Guild Dues

These are deducted during every December turn. Dues are a percentage of the commissions earned during the year now concluding. The percentage increases as a player rises in rank. If there are not enough credits to pay dues, a ship will be sold to cover the balance due.

Subordinate

The persons immediately below a player in the guild hierarchy. Commissions are received from one's subordinates. Also, a player with subordinates receives bonus credits every other year in January.

Superior

The person immediately above a player in the guild hierarchy. Commissions are paid to one's superior.

Fleet efficiency

Upgrades to your fleet, that improve your income in credits per ship. At the moment we are investigating the upgrades, but these are the ones we know of: Repair bot - 300 credits (3 ships) -> 1,050 Cargo pods (1,100 cr/ship, 10 ships) -> 1,100 Recalibrate ships engines (108K cr/ship, 15 ships) -> 1,150 Scanning system (252K cr/ship, 21 ships) -> 1,200 VR rigs (20K cr/ship, 27 ships) -> 1,250 Plasma cooled refridgeration system (29K cr/ship, 32 ships) -> 1,300 Merchant grade navigation system (39.2K cr/ship, 38 or 39 ships) -> 1,350

Colony

An addition to your income. Each colony improves your income per ship. There are four different colonies known at the moment. It seems (investigate!) that each colony improves your income/ship with 1,000 credits. Colonies are: Terrestrial planetoid Mining asteroid Orbital laboratory Vulcano colony (exact name?)

If you buy a Colony in the TE3000 HUD, then this will enable disasters. If you don't buy a Colonly, then the HUD will be like the regular Full Version HUD, and you can wear if without fear of being penalized. If you do buy a Colony, then you have to keep monitoring the HUD every turn to avoid missing disasters, like with the Federation HUD, but with the potential for more credits (gold). So, it's a tradeoff.

Fatigue

Fatigue builds up in your fleet from too much trade activity. It only affects you after quite a long time of playing the game in a single day. If you are affected, you will see (Fatigue) at the bottom of your ACCTS tab. It lowers your fleet efficiency which affects your income. It resets back to zero once per day. You don't have to do anything. It resets whether you are online or off. Fatigue does not build up during idle mode.
