Terms Used
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?)
