I am trying to set up a terran empire which has substantial income from taxation, but can`t seem to figure out how taxation that is reported in income is related to loyalty or anything else. Does anyone know? |

2 day(s) ago Yes Anfit, I wonder too about how PR will be affected but that is why I want to see what is possible. And it is no sweat if it doesn`t work out as `I have another empire on this server anyways,` so watch out fleak2 =:P
he did say he has another empire right on the same server :P

99+ day(s) ago | Thanks Zenith, I wish it were as easy to understand as it seemed for you to say so. I currently don`t have any goods so that is likely a problem, and if I`m wanting my homeworld to be the basis of income, having goods seems only to come at the expense of population which is necessary for income. Also I`m not sure i understood what you said exactly. If I understood you are saying that I should only have income from goods if I have goods but I do have income from the sale of goods in my income, but I have 0 goods. This is why I am confused about how this works. If i get 5 credits per person, and have 2000 people should I not get 10,000 credits, and then subtract what cost of goods are needed from this? ie at 4 credits per good per person that would be 8000 credits for goods leaving 2000 credits to keep. Yet this is not the amount I have in credit from sale of goods in my income statement. I`m afraid also I did not understand what you said about 350% and don`t inow what cgs are? If you could clarify that would be great. |

99+ day(s) ago | I think it`s pretty simple. Goods are sold at 5 credits to every member of your population. If you buy it for 4 credits (like usual), you make 1 credit per good bought. So, per turn, you make 1 extra credit per population member you have, so long as you have goods.
The thing about tax terrans, they got a 350% bonus for demand for cgs (I think).
So, you instead make 3.5 credits per population member. If you have enough goods. It all depends on the supply of goods. Hope this helped. |

99+ day(s) ago | ok so the population and loyalty relationship is now at a point where I am seeing profit from loyalty. I am however confused by how profit from sale of goods is calculated in income. Does anyone know the formula for calculating sale of goods, as it does not, as intuition would seem, calculate based simply on goods produced minus goods required, so this is confusing? |

99+ day(s) ago | Thanks SukOi, I`ll see if I can appy this to improving my income. |
Zeuss
99+ day(s) ago | thanks but I`m not a newbie, I`ve been playing here and on other servers for about 6 months now and again I`m trying to understand taxation and how it is calculated. I know that taxation is related somehow to both population and loyalty but I would like to know how they are related. Does anyone knows any details about taxation? |

99+ day(s) ago | i think its this
Tax (GC)
(pop / 2) + ( ( pop x loyalty / 5000) x racial attribute)
this taxation is calculated individually for each and every planet, so an average
(or overall) calculation may be slightly different. |

99+ day(s) ago | substantial income from commercial for terran. its always best to start out as a commercial terran. anway research housing build housing on your planets and buy food from the market and then wait for a marauder to steal all of your nice sized planets full of populationg :) such as myself. |
