Perdition, Lok has had its shuttleport for nearly 6 months now, and we're steady at about 75 citizens.


That's 10 short of the "Metropolis" rank. Does this have any advantage over a City? And won't it cost more to maintain if we hit 85 citizens?


I'm not seeing a plus side, except having more fun individuals running around...

That's about what I thought. Does the City Hall increase in cost based on City size? I've only been Mayor of this size so far...

the base cost for a metropolis is 135k, and unless you want the extra space and decorations it really isn't very different from rank 4.

metro would be important to use because cost is no issue and we are maxed decorations, trainers, terminals, and almost gardens. Frankly i can't get enough street lamps into our city . Also we have a large amout of our city which is unbuildable so the amount of land we would get would be priceless

Ah! That is hardly more costthan rank4...


You know what I dream of? STARSHIP TERMINALS available to Metropolis, and placement of them could be a Master Politician skill, since that box is blank.


mmm! It'd work like the Theme Park terminals on Corellia and Naboo maybe. I think an actual starport might be too much to wish for...

Starships are stored in your datapad and are only tied to certain locations. I'm sure it would be a simple thing to make it default to the closest starport in the case of a destroyed PC terminal, just like the bank does. I'm not a coder, though.

it's probably possible depending on how they implement it, but the answer we got was "no". it might be worth asking again *after* the CU though.

You are all forgetting the single most important thing about being a metropolis. Bragging rights. You can say you build your community from a little outpost into one of the largest cities on your planet, even server. Its a symbol of pride that should be felt by every citizen. If you ask me, that is far more important than a few extra trainers or an extra 50 meters around the city.

Never underestimate the value of a good dozen gardens. Speaking of which, I have them all in stock.
