A few new finding on Economy (as seen on the screens)

from Stardock Forums
(a) Differences between the Domestic Policy screen and the economy statistics tab:
- EcoStats doesn't show vessel maintenance or building maintenance at all (tip: fastest way to compute your vessel maint is to subtract the military figure on the EcoStats screen from that on the DomPol screen, which includes mil maint in the 'mil' category)
- "Tribute" on EcoStats is in credits, not billions of credits (so my Tribute at 493bc/m, shows as 4,294,967,231)

(b) I compared a full set of figures before getting the Galactic Stock Exchange, with what happened afterwards:
- incomes went up by between 10% + rounding (ie. 40 to 45; 27 to 30; 16 to 18) [about right - GSE gives eco+25%, and with my tax rate at 40% that means I should see a 10% increase
- one planet got just enough to put the rounding up for expenses, so produces an extra couple of IU, and have 2bc more expenses - all the others unchanged
- even 5 turns later, only the planet where the GSE was built is actually showing the increase in the economy % figure on the Planet Details screens. The others are getting the benefit, but still not showing the bonus correctly. [Note: the planet where it was build showed the increased eco% instantly, but didnot update the cashflow figures until the next turn.]

Tricky.

Another interesting note: as you know a few versions ago the defensive orbit bonus became implemented as a bonues (about 30%?) to your ATT while you are in orbit.

Interestingly, when you come out of orbit, your military might rating goes down (mine dropped from 132 to 112 within the turn!).

I interpret this to mean that the effect of my vessels at intimidating the enemy has just dropped - so, if you are trying to keep out of war by bolstering your 'might' - keep the ships in orbit!

This is just plain bugged. 4,294,967,231 credits is 4bc, not 493bc.

The others are getting the benefit, but still not showing the bonus correctly.

Planet Details only shows local bonuses. The Galactic Stock Exchange grants a 25% global bonus, and an additional 50% local bonus at the planet it was built (along with a 10% star prestige bonus, and a 10% morale bonus, IIRC, both local). All wonders (except the Eyes of the Universe), and most achievements, operate similaraly.

Arcturus - all my other civ-wide bonuses are counted in with the planet-specific ones in the Planet Details screen. (And I sure don't get a 50% local bonus.)
