Thread: Every Level 4 city will be able to get a shuttleport right?
Yet, my mayor says that she heard there will be a silent nerf that only allows ONE shuttleport within a given 3000m diameter circle. As you might imagine, this is very worrisome.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Thanks.
Read Dev Tracker, Thunderheart message, on changes to cities in TC
when raising the city cap they will
a) not show small cities on the map
b) limit the number cities with shuttleports
its not a distance nerf, its a number cap.
Have fun

I have heard of no distance restrictions. There are limiting the cities that can grow to level 3, and then those that can grow to level 4. At the moment the planets still have the hard caps, so yes every current city should be able to have a shuttleport.
There have been rumors from day one about distances and what not. But I have never seen any post that said anything about restricting disatnce from a developer.
Once they take the current test center changes live, the caps on cities will change. They are capping cities that can hit level 4. I believe the new caps will be
20 level 2 cities for Tatooine, Corellia, Nabo
15 level 3 cities
10 level 4 cities
Hmm... Goliath, that looks a bit confusing since people might think the new cap total for the 3 capital planets is 45. Let me try to explain it a bit better:
For Corellia, Naboo, and Tatooine:
- TOTAL CAP = 20
out of this cap, you can have the following make-up:
- (15) level3 and above cities
- (10) level 4 and above cities
Meaning, if you have the full (20) cities on the server, and if all the cities have 85 citizens or more, the breakdown will be:
- (5) level 2 villages
- (5) level 3 townships
- (10) level 4 cities and/or level 5 metropolis
Hope that clears it up... yeah, it sucks for those waiting on the caps. Since the first 10 cities that started will get first dibs on locking up the level 4 cap.
HOWEVER, if for whatever reason they drop out, then whomever the first lvl 3 city then bumps up to level 4. Give you some hope at least...
hehe.. but at least people can get upto level 2.. level 2 is good at least you can get banks and such 
level 3 gets med center and cloning centers..
Yours is more clear. Can you picture the screaming that is going to happen. You have a few towns stuck at level 3 so that the level 3 cap is full. Some new town is growing like crazy but stuck at level 2. How pissed would you be if a level 4 spot was open, but you can't get there because level 3 is full.
You will start getting the cries, if you don't grow for X weeks you should be demoted and let someone else grow. Their fixes to the system are just creating more and more avenues for complaints from players.

p.s. forgot - that's UNLIMITED level 1 outposts...
I thought they'd backed out on making that change, and that outposts still count under the cap?

Bleah... you're right Jazirah... I had thought they said something official about it and I tried searching the forums but couldn't find any of the devs stating that. So I guess we're back to the caps. Ooohh... not many people are going to be happy... oh well..
yea.. the max city cap covers ALL levels of cities..
just that there is a "sub cap" for higher level where you can go up to...
thus.. if the cap was like
20 max cities
15 level 2
10 level 3+
that just means that.. IF all 20 cities born around the same time.. the first 15 places can go to level 2....
then first 10 places can go to level 3-5
now... the 5 left in level 2 can go to level 3 when one of the original 10... falls to level 2 and below
