I don't think the player city cap will have much to do with the lag on a particular planet. For instance, in the areas surrounding Theed and Coronet, there are plenty of houses, factories, etc that people have placed even without a city existing there. Bottom line is that people will live on the planet they want to, city or not and perhaps cause more congestion and lag by placing their structures closer to coronet or theed because there is no nearby player city instead of placing in a PC perhaps 1.5 - 2 km away.

before we get any aesthetic changes to our player cities we really need to try to get some fundamental structural enhancements imo...

I'd like our question to be something to the effect of:

Other than bringing back '/citywarn' what can be done to empower mayors, militia and/or dedicated citizens to enforce city laws?

So have we come to any sort of conclusion on this front?

not me... Texxie is in the wrong time zone

got your work cut out for ya Texxie, see if this looks good:

The "city cap" prevents cities from advancement if the planet has reached its capacity for the next rank. Many politicians that have well qualified cities for advancement are frustrated since they cannot advance without another city losing its rank. How does the game determine which city gets advanced if another city drops a rank, and will there be plans to raise this cap?

Yeah, I'm wide and clear from the great plains myself... but there's nothing too terribly wrong with them... I have several great friends that live out there... not that I've ever considered it, but hey...

Thanks for noticing Haji, I am all for raising the planetary caps for level 1 cities as well and then having every level 1 city to have the potential to grow unfettered to the highest level.

Thanks,

This would tend to indicate that "Raisingcity cap, and removing city growth limits" is the burning question on the minds of the Politician community.
