◤ Economy Migration FAQs
[1] Why does my production have a 'Legacy' prefix on?
The "Legacy" prefix indicates that the production was recorded before the introduction of the new Economy system. This helps the staff team identify productions that require manual invoicing instead of the new semi-automated process.
[2] How are the Maintenance Upkeep costs determined?
Productions acquired before the implementation of the new Economy system incur Legacy Fees, which are fixed flat rates assigned to each production type to approximate upkeep costs. The current Legacy Fees are:

- Corvettes: $50,000
- Frigates/Replenishment Ships: $100,000
- Destroyers: $250,000

You might have missed a transaction, please double-check your records carefully. If you still can’t find the cause, submit a support ticket for further assistance. The system is currently in BETA, meaning calculations may be periodically adjusted by the Economy Team for balancing purposes. These changes will be announced through official updates, so be sure to keep an eye on those communications.
[4] On the Economy Registration form, I requested that my State Treasury be converted into GDP. Why doesn’t it appear that way?
Most users chose to keep their State Treasury, so to ensure fairness, we retained it for everyone. Additionally, any countries with debt couldn’t have their treasury converted into GDP, as this would result in a negative GDP value, which is not allowed.
[5] Why are some graphs on the Economy page not displaying information?[/B]
Since the system is newly implemented, certain data—such as quarterly and annual GDP figures—is not yet available. Over time, these graphs will fill in and become more informative.
