- This colonist bonus is based on the assumption that you have at least one terrestrial planet. When you don't have one, the bonus is a couple of credits (1 to 7) lower.
Ship pricing formulas are as follows:
- Standard purchase formula: Price = SPF * (Ships Owned) * (Ships Owned)
- Discounted purchase formula: Price = SPF * .75 * (Ships Owned) * (Ships Owned)
- Standard sale formula: Price = SPF * .75 * (Ships Owned - 1) * (Ships Owned - 1)
- Bonus sale formula: Price = 1.2 * SPF * (Ships Owned) * (Ships Owned)
SPF is Ship Purchase Factor and is based on your current rank.
At some moment, when prices go over 1 million credits (about 58 ships personal), prices of ships are leveled to round figures (upwards). So a ship costs - considering what's above - 2,346,280 credits, you pay 2.4 million (just an example).
Limitations:
- Players with less than 5 ships (Runner) of their own can't recruit
- Players with less than 5 ships can't receive ships as gifts (message: player too inexperienced)
- You can only give ships to a maximum of 1 rank above you or all ranks below you (except for what is mentioned above)
- You can keep subordinates up to 5 ranks below your own
- You can't choose a superior more than 4 main ranks above your own
- Players with equal ranks (at least up to the rank of Captain) can't choose each other as superior/subordinate. Director can move under Director or Guild Leader. To become a Director you must direct to a Director or Guildleader
