1 .TH Concept "Maintenance"
2 .NA Maintenance "The cost to maintain ships, planes, and land units."
4 During each update, nations must pay to maintain their units, ships and planes.
6 The cost to maintain a ship, or land-unit is:
8 .001 * cost of thing * ETUs/update
11 The cost to maintain a plane is:
13 .001 * cost of thing * ETUs/update + 5 * mil_cost * crew
16 Note that this cost can be changed by the deity.
18 Also note that if you have purchased high-tech items, and your tech
19 is not at least 85% of the item's tech, you are charged double
22 Also note that engineering land units costs 3 times what
23 normal units cost, after the tech is figured in.
25 If you can not afford to pay maintenance costs then your unit will
26 lose ETU/5 points of efficiency. It won't go below its minimum
27 efficiency, though. Thus, if you were playing in a 60 ETU game, and
28 you did not pay your maintenance costs for a 40% frigate, then the
29 frigate would drop to 28% efficiency at the first update, and to 20%
