We just got our checks!

[Bob]

taxes are calculated by bank amount and HWS RP. the reason taxes exist is to deter us from leaving our toys on the popular hotspots. not as a pay to park garage

[JiNCo]

5m for 132 blocks… Credits: 146911373 RP: 848 It seems that tax has gone up and I didn’t get the memo. What’s the formula on that?

[Bob]

the answer is: don’t leave ships in tax zones

[JiNCo]

What’s the formula on that?

[Bob]

ships in tax zone = heavy taxes…

[JiNCo]

I’ll wait for someone that has the answer.

[Bob]

being a veteran u should know that taxes are for a determent to players leaving their ships in ECC. not an “I’m rich, ill just pay cheap taxes” middle finger to us all.

all the “authority” u need is here:

Taxes

Certain playfields have Taxes applied to them for various reasons. Playfields with Taxes: Please press M in-game and read the playfield description. You may need to scroll down to see Taxes. Typically, taxes are applied to the following playfields: ECC System, CSW, the 2 Peacekeepers and the Donor playfields. *If there are more than 200 cores on the Donor Planets. [taxes] How Taxes work: You have to pay taxes for all of your structures (BA, CV, HV, SV) that exist in the taxable pla…

So since Bob is just completely happy to keep brigading and not doing anything helpful, I’ve got the solution for you Jinco.

• Ship Tax: Blocks * Devices * Tax Factor(100)
• Private Structure Tax: (Ship Tax + Player Bank Credits) / RP
• Faction Structure Tax: (Ship Tax + Player Bank Credits + Player Balance) / Faction members / RP

Bob’s just upset because he can’t keep ships at ECC anymore, don’t mind him.

[Bob]

assumptions are great. i actually agree with the removal of the CVs on ECC HQ. was more trouble than it was worth. i also have many other ways around that laziness. my issue is the time wasting adventures put in front of rex on a regular basis. also the constant complaints from those that do not understand this is rex’s home and he is getting shat on regularly. i honestly don’t understand how he keeps putting up with it. i myself would have shut this down long ago. thankfully he has much more patience for entitled children

[Chaotic]

The only person’s time your wasting right now is your own Bob, you could’ve given Jinco the answer without trying to be a troll. The only whiny children I see on the forums are you, even TAW made more valid points than playing “devils advocate”… Watchin you turn into Snowman more and more every day.

[Bob]

another childish lash out. i guess i can’t expect much but insults from the naive. i just have little interests in the sht that wastes time. thanks for letting me know how appreciated i am to u. it shall be remembered.

[JiNCo]

I appreciate you both on this matter. Im glad those CVs are gone. GG on EGS teleporter. 5m though… Lets check it

Ship Tax**: Blocks * Devices * Tax Factor(100)
(Blocks)39*(Devices)133*(Tax Factor)100=518,700

(Ship Tax + Player Bank Credits) / RP
(Ship Tax)518,700 +(Bank)150,000,000 /(RP)848= 177,498 credits

I just copied what was here:

but maybe if Rex is needing to update something it’ll get fixed.

[Jascha]

Hey guys,

sorry for the trouble. But sad to see that such an issue is made, even after discussing this for days now. And as said in all the other discussions the last days: This is not new! Its the same at least for the last, if not for many more seasons. As bob said, you should have known that.
But on the other hand we will rework tax in the future. But until then its the same as always.

Just to verify: Why did you leave your ship there?

@JiNCo

(Ship Tax + Player Bank Credits) / RP
(Ship Tax)518,700 +(Bank)150,000,000 /(RP)848= 177,498 credits

That calculation looks right, beside the fact that you did not get taxed today, but on the 26th, where you had not 800+ RP but 34. And that explains the cost.

26.12.2020 09:10:03 Tax paid 5.658.749 credits tax for Ghettoway 13 (232432)

Why you report this more then a week later and then use todays RP for the calculation?

And please keep this civil here. You know the drill… when we will help and when not. (And there is no need to give comments that have nothing to do with the topic)

[JiNCo]

Then that explains it. I thought I received the 1k RP before that date, which I did not(12/30). Thanks for clearing that up for me. 34 RP makes sense now.
