  1. Ok, one of the things I think I like about Reb1 is that it isn't too complex, especially from a resource point of view. That said, there is probably room for improvement. So if we use the Movies/Clone Wars TV series as our canon we see that most people will accept Credits, even Luke was paid in Credits on Tat when he sold his speeder. That might be a period thing, the Empire forced Credits as a standard. We also know that taxation was a major sore point with some people, enough for them to sign up with a Sith Lord... So I reckon that the Galactic monetary and economics system probably isn't all that different to our own. People pay tax. The more people on a world, the more tax income it generates. The higher standard of living, the more tax people can pay and are expected to pay for that standard of living. Planetary loyalty should affect what percentage of tax goes to which side. I wouldn't make it a straight split, but lets say a World is 60% Alliance, they should get 60% of the tax income no worries, and should also get a percentage of the 40% that supports the Empire (say 60%) again. So the Empire would get 40% of 40% of the tax income from a world via smuggling, direct donations, etc. It's like people living in the West giving to "charities" in Third World nations that are really fronts for military organisations. Planets also produce goods and services. So now we get to the point, what does a player need to support his ambitions of galactic domination. He needs money and resources. Money to buy people, goods and services, resources to build things or sell for money. So almost everything costs and maybe it costs more than just money, maybe you need the materials to build a ship, you can't just buy the resources directly... It comes back to the Sins of a Solar Empire method, which I think is probably a good model. It just needs to be tweaked for Star Wars. I need to think about this some more. I play Reb on and off but it has always been installed on every puter I've had since it was released, I even take it on holiday with me.
