Enact a new rule entitled “Spacestations”:
The Stellar Trade, Research, Intelligence, and Navigation Group (STRING) is an emerging decentralized collective that aims to replace the wounded beurocratic power structure as a more just and open regulatory body. As a new organization, it has built one Spacestation thus far but has plans for rapid growth.
Some Sectors have Spacestations in them. No more than one Spacestation can be in each Sector. Spacestations have their own rows in the GNDT, using the Name, Position, and Resources columns and leaving the rest with the value of “-”. A Spacestation’s name is the word “Station” followed or preceded by a unique modifier. A Spacestation’s Position is the name of the Sector that it’s in. A Spacestation’s value of “Resources” defaults to “-”. There is a Spacestation named Base Station in the Earth Sector.
Add Base Station to the GNDT.
Enact a new rule entitled “Credits”:
STRING has established a new currency for the Galaxy: the Credit, unencumbered by the past’s economic troubles, the minimal work required to mint it, or the shocking lack of a prior currency with the same name.
Every Captain has a number of Credits, tracked in the GNDT as a number with a maximum of four decimal places and defaulting to 0.
Give every Captain 100 Credits each.
Enact a new subrule of “Spacestations” entitled “Transactions”:
When in a Sector with a Spacestation, a Captain may buy or sell resources with the Spacestation. The Captain can sell a Resource in their possession by transferring the Resource to the Spacestation and gaining the number of Credits equal to the Spacestation’s current Value of the Resource. The Captain can buy a Resource that the Spacestation has by transferring the Resource to themself and losing the number of Credits equal to the Spacestation’s current Value of the Resource. Whenever a Captain buys or sells with a Spacestation, the Value calculation must be done before the transfer and the Value must be included in a comment in the GNDT action of the buying or selling.
A Spacestation’s Value for a Resource is equal to [the total amount of the Resource in other Spacestations and Captains’ possessions] divided by [the amount of the Resource in the Spacestation plus the number of Sectors with Spectral Type that corresponds with the Resource].
Something to do with Resources! We establish Spacestations, which we can do much much more with in the future, and Credits. Buy and sell Resources with Spacestations, profit from shuttling Resources from one Spacestation to another*, and play the market! Note that “transfer” is defined in the Glossary.
(*once more than one exists)
If there exists 10 gold in possession of other captains, and I sell one to a Spacestation (let the number of sectors that produce gold be 5, for the sake of the example), then I get 2 credits (or 1.8, if you interpret the last paragraph as meaning other Captains). Then, I buy it for 9/6=1.5 credits, earning me profit with no risk of anything.
