FROM THE POSTBAG: ADVANCING A SECOND PLANET

by Hazed

A question from a Mogul recently made me realize that there's something missing from the Idiot's Guide. I haven't got round to writing anything yet about how Moguls deal with advancing their second planets to a new economic level.

So just in case there's a whole Mogul horde out there waiting to be told what to do, here's what you need to know.

You simply do what you did for your first planet! That is, you do enough builds on the second planet and then you type 'PROMOTE' while making sure you are sitting (or standing, or lying, or taking whatever position you prefer) on that world. This won't affect your rank, but at the next reset the planet will move up to the next economic level.

You can in fact keep on promoting the economic level of your second planet until it matches that of your first, although it wouldn't do much for the balance of trade in your system. Should you do that, then once the promotion to the next rank is programmed in, you can choose whether your first planet or your second planet should be the first to advance - whichever you choose, your personal rank should always match the highest level of the two.

Now you know, and I will get round to adding this information to the manual soon - although since nobody ever reads manuals, that will surely be a waste of time!
