When your Blish city reaches its destination, you won't be able to do anything with it right away because, once again, we have to wait for Bella to catch up with the next chunk of code. That code will let you dock the city to a planet in the system, and tool up the production slots to boost production of a specified commodity. It is probable that both the Plutocrat that owns the city, and the PO in charge of the star system, will be able to issue those commands.

I can't give you any estimate for when this code will be in the game, because poor old Alan has run into a real life problem: his broadband router has stopped working. It turns out that his ISP has had an upgrade to their equipment in the telephone exchanges, and as a result, older routers have stopped working.

O2 has of course promised to send a replacement router but since they weren't anticipating this problem, they don't enough new routers to send out to everyone who needs one, so there may be a delay before Alan can get online again.

So meanwhile he is cut off from the internet - which means that no planets can be linked into the game this weekend. If you have sent files in, we will email you when Alan is back online and able to work on planets. It is also why there is no Winding Down in this issue of the Star.
