Let me try to explain this better.
Each government gets 5 times their daily income to make their starting fleets. This cash must all be spent, because remaining funds are not transfered to the government's treasury.
The fleets you buy with this 5x income are the defense and attack fleets for your entire government. Defense fleets do not just apear from the planet below
Folowing the start of the story each government will get it's income once a day. what it does with this cash(spend on fleets, mercs, or save it) is up to the big wig.
One post battles are not allowed unless the planet under seige does not have a player behind it.
The Cheat, you may not have bulk freighters. Only the Confederation and Astex may build those. You may buy them from the Confederation if they want to give you clearance for it. Also, your initial fleet count of 4 Kestrels, 4 Corvettes, 5 Lightnings, 15 Hawks, 15 Defenders, 2 Bulk Freighters comes to 62.65M. That is 12.65M more than your allowance. Please fix that.
Oh, i should also add that mercs will me allowed 50M for their initial fleet but will not get a daily income. I would prefer that Merc not capture planets for themselves. It kinda defeats the purpose of being a Merc.
