Something that slightly scratches me the wrong way... Financial Centers.

I would tend to think that this wealth-providing facility was named as such many years ago and it settled comfortably with such a name afterward, by force of habit more or less (that's a theory, but perhaps Steve will disagree, being the master of all and everything in Aurora).

However, would it not be better to abandon this label, as "money" is an immaterial and interchangeable asset, and opt for a more 'generalist' term?

Would it not be better to rename Financial Centers as:
- Light Industry
- Mfg. Goods Industry
- Industrial Replicators
- Cons. Goods Facility

or anything like that?

Financial Centers also imply a decent population base. Moving a financial center to a brand new world seems a bit off. I doubt a new colony would have much use for it. Now, using one of the terms above implies we are providing to the general population...

Thoughts?

Yes, I have heard of many strange phenomena. Freighters simply vanishing without a trace while making their celestial journeys and countless stories of rural hillbillies witnessing the abductions of their friends and family.

The superstitious claim that there are raiders in the aether, but I know that this is just a myth, for science tells us that there is no way to travel faster than light without traversing a jump point.

Thanks very much

I have 1.13 - is there a later full install available (I saw a 2.2 install mentioned as planned). Otherwise do I need to sequentially run through all the patches?

Cheers

Rakhas and Raiders are new enemies that certainly change the game.
