Damage due to lack of maintenance is now limited by the unit's minimum efficiency. Before, units could die. Unfortunately, the update left any embarked units on their dead carrier. Should have seen this when I fixed a related bug in commitc2c0d1ff, v4.3.22. Broken for ships and land units when Empire 2 added their maintenance cost, and for planes when commit2e40a4bb(v4.3.4) replaced nuclear stockpiles by nuke units. The common root cause of these bugs is the update bypassing pre-write functions (bug#1010856). If another unit with the same number got built, it picked up the stuck cargo, triggering the oops from commit6fb5caf6, which see. In "stuck on dead carrier" state, units pretty much behave as if their carrier was still alive, with additional protection from the fact that a dead carrier can't be damaged or boarded. The server detects this state on startup since commit7da9aab5, and refuses to start. Only a deity can take units off a dead carrier.

During each update, nations must pay to maintain their units, ships and planes.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The cost to maintain a ship, or land-unit is:
|
|
.NF
|
|
.001 * cost of thing * ETUs/update
|
|
.FI
|
|
.s1

|
The cost to maintain a plane is:
|
|
.NF
|
|
.001 * cost of thing * ETUs/update + 5 * mil_cost * crew
|
|
.FI
|
|
.s1
|
|
Note that this cost can be changed by the deity.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Also note that if you have purchased high-tech items, and your tech
|
|
is not at least 85% of the item's tech, you are charged double
|
|
to maintain the item.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Also note that engineering land units costs 3 times what
|
|
normal units cost, after the tech is figured in.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If you can not afford to pay maintenance costs then your unit will
|
|
lose ETU/5 points of efficiency. It won't go below its minimum
|
|
efficiency, though. Thus, if you were playing in a 60 ETU game, and
|
|
you did not pay your maintenance costs for a 40% frigate, then the
|
|
frigate would drop to 28% efficiency at the first update, and to 20%
|
|
at the second update.
