WHAT BELLA DID NEXT

by Hazed

Having got the new FedTerm published, Bella's next task will be to code the next rank - Mogul, the third of the planet-owning ranks. Although Bella never finally makes up her mind about how things are going to work until she actually codes them (and even then she often changes her mind more frequently than an Altarian proto-lizard changes its skin) right now the requirement for this rank is probably going to be 70 builds.

As with the promotion to Engineer, it's not going to matter what those builds are, with one exception - schools. You need to have a spare school before you can promote, because one general school is required per level.

Promoting to Mogul will turn your planet into an industrial world, with the opportunity to build lots of exciting new pieces of infrastructure, such as a broadcast facility for radio, television and holos (all part of keeping your populace happy), satellite launchers to keep your planet safe (which will of course boost production in the defence sector), a technical college (which gives a big boost to industrial production), oil power (which boosts technical production, but also increases pollution), and ports (which add productivity to the bulk goods sector).

Moguls will also get an extra planet in your system if you want, with an increase in the system's location allowance to go with it.

Bella refused to be pressed on when the code would be likely to be complete, but confined herself to mumbling something about "either two weeks or before Christmas, whichever comes later".
