Here are a few things I would like to see added for Politicians. If any of these things are already in place please post and let me know about them. Please feel free to comment on what you think of these ideas, no bashing please.


1.) It would be nice to be able to see reports on where incoming money has come from. The more detail here the better. It would be nice to know how much money has come from different taxes, shuttle fees, garage fees, and donations. Being able to see a summary of each of these, as well as a detail behind them would be a great management tool for Politicians, especially when it comes time to decide if taxes/fees need to be changed. The detail would be nice because then you could see what people have donated and how much, and if the Sales Tax bug gets fixed you could see what vendors produced the most Sales Tax Revenue.


2.) They need to fix any and all bugs dealing with Taxes and Fees, the Sales Tax bug is the only one I can think of off hand.


3.) It would be nice to be able to see a report of everyone who has been city banned, along with the person who banned them.


4.) Politicians should have a way to revoke citizenship. There have been times where either there is a ghost citizen or other individual that is no longer really in the city, yet they show up as a citizen.


5.) It would be nice to see who owns what structures in the city on the overhead map. Being able to see the city limit boundaries in the overhead map would be nice too. Any citizen(or everyone for that matter) should be able to see the city limit boundary on the overhead map.


6.) Being able to place multiple zones and being able to control the rights on each zone. For instance, if I want to create a zone where only merchants tents can be placed and I only want person A, B, and C to be able to grant temporary rights to zone here. Along with this it would be nice to have different levels of "Militia" that can assist with mayor duties, especially when cities get very large. Citizens and those with zoning rights who are not citizens should be able to see these zones on the overhead map.


7.) I would really like to see some additional city structures that can be placed. Bazaar terminals, stand alone bank terminals, street paving blocks, etc. These things can add some unique elements to any city. It would also be nice to be able to level out area within the city limits


8.) I think it would be really nice to be able to place different level of taxes for different zones within the city. This goes along with number 6. Also being able to place a higher tax on structures in the city that don't belong to citizens would be nice too.


9.) Make Master Politician meaningful, currently there is nothing unique that a Master Politician can do.


10.) Integrating something like this tool in-game would be great too.


City Planner Tool


The devs can take a lot of tips from Sim City for things that can be integrated into Player Cities and for Politicians.

1, 2,and9 have been requested many times, and may even be in our current Top 5.


3 is a good suggestion, I totally agree it would be nice to see who's been banned.. Or at least generate an email to the Mayor saynig "Player X has been banned by Player Y."


4 probably won't happen because of potential griefing.


5 has been discussed before, and would be a nice thing.


6 is interesting, though probably complicates things a bit much. I, for one, would love to have a small "open zoning rights" region allowing anybody who wanted to move in. Of course, it'd probably quickly fill up with harvesters, but anyways...


7 is another popular topic. Devs have already said that Bazaar terminalsare not going to happen - they want to encourage the use of player run stores and vendors in Player Cities. Some more outdoor decorations would be nice, but stuff like roads they need to be careful with since it'll effect performance as the dynamically placed graphics are rendered and stuff. Leveling the terrain ain't gonna happen.


8 -more tax functionality would be nice. Why not throw in the ability to tax people who use the skill trainers while we're on the subject.


10 - DOubt we'll see an in-game City Planner Tool, but luckily there's some nice ones out-of-game that help a bunch.
