- Designer gets royalty once per day, 00:00:
    - Royalty 2% is calculated after skills and deductions, on the real credits spent (when bought by cloner)
    - Max percent per day: 1% to 15% of designer shipless power in credits
    - Max percent per day influenced by commander level, on a 0 - 500 scale, 0 is 1%, 500 or more is 15%, gets rounded up to two decimals, e. g. level 150 => (150/500)*15 = 4.50%
    - Royalty is deposited in secret base
    - Royalty is given in full 2%, but the amount given each day depends on (Max percent per day), => depends on the level of the commander

This is how it works: You design a nice ship, other people use it and every time they resupply, it fills your royalty quene, adding to it the amount.
At 00:00 server time, the system will take you power whitout fleets to avoid power ships, and by taking your commander level into account will determine a percent of this power in credits, from 1% to 15% of the power whitout fleet. This amount is deposited in the secret base stash, and the rest of the royalty amount is kept for the coming days. It gives each day depending on these factors, until the royalty is depleted. I will be monitoring the process to see if all is well.

God Speed commanders!  :to_keep_order:

Thank you very much for this update Sir Emi.  This will ensure designers get thier full royalties, even if it may take some time.  It will discourage folks trying to power level others.  We will see how this works real soon.  I know this took a long time but I hope it will help.

Good update thank you :D

Very nice job Sir Emi, AND you beat that by monday deadline you said you'd have it done by. Good job.

It does not seem to be working Sir Emi.  I know I sold at least 2 ship on the 4th but it is after 12:00 on the 5th and no new royalties in the log.  Maybe it is not showing in the log not sure.  Thank you for your time and hard work

It's at 00:00 server time, here is my log entry on my test account for royalty. Check for it in the secret base stash, and check you logs by design royalty filter.

ok they dont show in design royalty.  but it does show in stash log.

this means i can get rich without even playing lol, alot of people use ships i make..

you mean those that you have pirated.
However, Sir Emi it would be nice if they also showed up in the royalty section. or we could just get rid of that section.

Lol, come on now guys, no need to fight. Wither he pirated them or not, it was done before the tag system was made, so they are, by technicality, his.
