Well first I would exempt houses from this idea, since so many seem to really have finding new place for their house as well as moving all thier stuff every month or two.

And merchants are not happy about moving their vendor.

So Guess houses can still be small source of money drain.

PA should pay more maintance depending on the number of active member. (Become very important once Player City goes in and lot of PA want lot of member)

Then I was thinking since They removed Urban Planner and pushed all the Player City stuff to Architect, they can get their money sink from there.

Like

Player Owned Shuttle port, Cantina, Medical Center, Clone Center will "Tax" each user of these facilities as well as cost lot of credit to maintain.

That should even out the money sink problem I think

I really like this idea, and I think most people would support it.

And it seems very easy to implement as well so I think Dev will like it too.

Basically All structures are like Pre-Paid phone card.

In this case pre-paid maintance, say 5 per resource used to make the structure.

So Heavy Harvester have around 150,000 BASE condition, experimentable by Architect.

Instead of paying Maintance, they take it out of the condition, so if currently Harvester use 1k maintance per day, it will reduce the condition by 1k per day.

And when you redeed the harvester it doesn't cost anything.

Once condition reach 0, it doesn't dissapear until next time you try to redeed it, but it will stop harvesting.

BasicallyI need to buy new harvester every few weeks or so, but I payarchitect the money I would normally spend on maintance.

This isn't a bad idea problem is the economy needs the money drain, not putting the money into PC's pockets. Not that I am against making lots ofcash but as a Master Architect myself I find that it is too easy at this time to pull in a pile of cash. So though inventive I don't see this as a good option to solve the problem of business drying up for Architects it will just make them richer in the long term.
