Proposal: Credits Update

Times Out and Passes 5-1. -RaichuKFM

Amend the rule “Credits” to read:

Every Captain has a real number of Credits, with no more than 3 decimal places, tracked in the GNDT, and defaulting to 0.
As an Activity, a Captain whose class is not “Space Station” may give up 10 credits for 1 of any other resource.

Amend the section of the rule “Space Stations” that reads:

As an Activity, a Captain whose Ship Class is Space Station may do the following: for each Ship “S” docked at that Space Station whose Captain has been granted Collection Clearance by the owner of the Space Station, they (the owner of the Space Station) may gain 1 Resource of any type produced by the Sector they currently occupy (as defined by the mapping from Spectral Colours to Resources in Rule 2.3). If they do, the Captain of Ship “S” also gains 1 Resource of the same type, provided that it is possible for them to accommodate the extra Resource with their current Hold.

To read:

As part of the collection clearance agreement, the Captain and the space station should agree whether the Captain will be collecting resources or credits. Additionally, the Captain and the Space station should agree how often collection will happen. As an Activity, a Captain whose Ship Class is Space Station must, in accordance with their agreements with the collecting Captains, do the following:
For each Ship “S” docked at that Space Station whose Captain has been granted Collection Clearance by the owner of the Space Station and who agreed to collect resources, they (the owner of the Space Station) may gain 1 Resource of any type produced by the Sector they currently occupy (as defined by the mapping from Spectral Colours to Resources in Rule 2.3). If they do, the Captain of Ship “S” also gains 1 Resource of the same type, provided that it is possible for them to accommodate the extra Resource with their current Hold.

For each Ship “S” docked at that Space Station whose Captain has been granted Collection Clearance by the owner of the Space Station and who agreed to collect credits, they (the owner of the Space Station) may gain 2 credits. If they do, the Captain of Ship “S” also gains 2 credits.

Allows for credits to be transferred into resources without giving Space Stations an advantage. Also, allows Captains to get credits and resources at a reasonable, but not broken rate. Finally, it forces space stations to actually collect resources, per the agreement, instead of deciding not to.

against Let’s not do this while Captains can still hold negative amounts of Credits.
