Lol- energy whips, forced labor causes massive morale drops... Would be awesome, but the story behind it makes sense anyway. You know what they say about proper prior planning. I'm sure the Faction may get work done with energy whips, Smugglers, bribes, assassins, etc. But you, my friend, are a Templar. Born to star's fire and Zendu blood, the power you wield ... does not come from fear. When Shalun returns ... how do you think he will look upon an Empire of slaves? Wait, Shalun is returning?! Praise the Maker! |

I have a new colony currently whose population grew to 5 before I could do anything but subsidize hab units and build them 1cp at a time. Luckily it had a steel fortress, so that and 3 hab 1s are its only buildings. 16 more turns to build a factory, unless it grows again. Morale is low due to overpopulation and no spice den. There's not any planning that Could have helped that situation.
I was all set to continue to argue the old debate in this thread, but as I thought about it I guess the subsidy is an abstract way of advanced colonies helping others. Mining and idle cp on javat prime = money which is used to accelerate building on newly founded Smallville (which is not so small)
Fine, Cory is right. I'll go argue on the population control thread instead.
One question tho, why can't we subsidize improvements?

Proper prior planning is all great to talk about but when you just colonized a planet and subsidized building that hab unit 1 thats still going to take 8 turns to build and the following turn population goes, up, and the following turn population goes up...heck I've had planets that I subsidized the first hab unit and by time it was built I need a hab 4 not a hab 1 just to house the population and building larger ones is no good because they take so long to build and I can't think about building factories to put the pop to work, because it will take so long to build even when subsidized and I'm already at/past capacity for housing...
This isn't something that good planning can fix but instead is just purely random and can often lead to me prematurely quiting the game in rage rather than pitching my tablet at nearest wall in frustration.
