Maintenance costs

[Esse]

As of this morning's publish (Pub 28) the cost of city maintenance has been reduced to 10% of what it was! This is great news, and it appears that the weekly cost, as the city now stands with all of its structures, fountains, lights, etc., is about 70K. (It would have been 700K per week without this reduction). Since the treasury has about 7 million credits in it, this means we can survive more than 100 weeks (there is also some other revenue coming in from the shuttle and housing tax).

Assuming this cost is accurate (well, it *is* SOE), we are doing pretty well. If anything changes, I'll let you know. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

I think it would be great if we could have some Rogue merchant tents right outside the starport. The current tents are empty.

We can sure do that. Get some tents, folks, and we'll do it.

When we first moved into Arca, the militia folks there cautioned us about placing structures too close to that giant arch, for fear it might poof or be affected in some way. I still think we should keep that in mind. Hell, if it goes away, we'd have to rename the town Flat Effex.
