THE GREAT SOL PROPERTY SWINDLE

by Hazed

The Galactic Administration has kept its promise - or maybe it was a threat - and has confiscated all remaining factories and depots on the agri and resource planets in Sol (that's Earth, Rhea, Sumatra, Titan and Venus). Most CEOs were sensible and showed the foresight to sell their property on these planets before they were demolished, but a few ignored the warnings and have lost them with no compensation being offered.

CEOs looking for places to build should now be concentrating on the out-of-Sol planets. For those unsure of the rules of etiquette, there is nothing to stop you building whatever you want, wherever you want, outside of the Solar System - however, if you don't check with the PO first you run the risk of him, her or it simply expropriating the factory if it doesn't do their economy any good. It therefore pays to ask for permission first.

As we have said before, Merchants who want to stuff warehouses full of goodies to use later should make sure they sell the ones of those five Sol planets before promoting to Trader, otherwise they will just vanish when you later become an Industrialist.
