[BUG] Star Bases around stars

from Stardock Forums

I just started replaying the game after i got Diplomacy last week. In Entrenchments, Bases with trade ports would count their income, but it sems in the current version of Diplomacy (at least in the TEC's case) they count for 0 income, i used to be able t get 12+ for a full set up adn secured star. And yes, Trade ships are docking.

 

is this a Logged change?

I must ditto on the bug issue, just noticed it tonight, while playing the systems of war map, i plunked a starbase at my star, (playing as vasari) and put a trade hub on it. All the trade ships are happily visiting, no trade income. I WANT MAH MONAH!!!!! XO

oddly enough, in checking the coding that we have available to us, it seems to be in place to give income, wonder why the infocard doesn't show it

The income rate on a starbase is a multiplier of your income-per-trade-port based on how long your trade chain is.  So if you're getting a trade rate of 2.0 per trade port, the first level as TEC gets you 2.0 x 1.3 = 2.6 cred/sec.  If you upgrade it to 2nd level as TEC then you get a 3x multiplier which is 2.0 x 3 = 6.0 cred/sec.

 

These upgrades are cumulative with planetary bonuses, trade pact, arbitrate tariff, and TEC civ upgrades.  A well placed TEC starbase can earn upwards of 25 cred/sec in the later stages of the game.
