It would be preferable to at the least have somewhere mentioned the costs necessary to repair ships.

It is hard enough trying to mentally tally in Division building costs to your balance without trying to do it with ship repairs; especially when there is no mention anywhere of what those would happen to be.

And as ship repairs will be 'paid' for before your Division building costs that can have repercussions.

An interesting topic mind, I hope my post doesn't come out sounding critical.

I agree about the repair cost being counted on the balance. If doable, it would be very nice.
Regarding division cost, i think their costs are indeed included on the balance since a few patches ago :thumbsup:

It is a whole lot complex to calculate preemptively what will be the repair costs of ships in harbors. For the Division Leaders, it is straightforward, just count the number of stacks with the order ON. For ships, you have to check each ship, see what the structures there in give as a recovery %, then take into account what the ship costs time this percentage. Certainly doable, but I feel something different can be done. I'll post a suggestion in the AACW Beta forum now :)

I want to remember here, as a collateral question, than the INFLATION costs are ALSO not counted in the balance in some cases. So, the ship repairing costs is not the most critical question normally, as Inflation is a lot more critical in the accounting.


As some examples: 2 kind of NON valued costs:

1.- The EXTRA Inflation COSTS for new clicked (i. e. same turn) Economic options are payed, but not displayed on the BUDGET.

If you buy 400.000 $, simultaneously clicking Economic options worth 5% inflation, expect 20.000 $ extra costs. This is in fact some more complicated, as accounts are done unit per unit.

2.- Some "costs" as Division Creation, are displayed in the budeget always as a plain 10$ costs, but... if you are 40% inflation, you are going to pay 14$.
