I’m in favor of variable limits, as opposed to hard limits.

I’d like to hear more opinions on this before I vote.

Bucky:

The formula is quite reasonable, and seems like a fair way to allow for big corporations to get bigger, while still restricting them.

I’ll point out that this rule can cause the number of a Corporation’s production points to be partially in the control of other Corporations.  Specifically, when new players join or when other Corporations destroy their own factories, it can cause a Corporation to lose production points.  If corporations with lots of factories are careful in allocation, however, this will never be a problem.

Overall, I think the rule is pretty good, but complicates things.  And most of the burden of that complication falls on whoever is advancing time.

I’ve just posted a needed counterpart to this (tough the other proposal stands alone - without this one’s provisions).

More factories!

I should point out that this is in no way an incentive to give Factories away, as Chronos suggested—keeping extra Factories to yourself (and thereby boosting your Credit Limit) does just as much to raise the total-Factory-sum.
