The empire is in trouble. Financial reserves have fallen below 100,000 smackaroos for the first time in its history. Austerity measures may have to be instituted-- most painfully, freezing production at 2070 levels and cutting back on ship production.
I've read some threads regarding financial centers-- some folks use them early on, some folks poo-poo them as ineffective. I find them inconvenient, because to build "financial worlds" i would have to ship industry there, build the facilities, and then ship them away. I don't want my forge worlds staffing financial workers. However, I have a few hundred factories on a world I call Tritania, and will not likely be using it as a major operation base in the future. Instead of shipping its material away, I was considering just ordering up 1000 financial centers and forgetting about it for a few decades.
How do you deal with impending financial doom? Do you build financial centers? Do you try to figure out some way to get more luxury liners (the civvies seem to build them more infrequently than the other classes..)
Note: my next 20% civ. economy expansion is going to cost me 160,000 RP, and my good construction\production scientist died.
