History
- Original description:
The Government Center shows the station's Law and Orwellian levels. These represent the severity of crime punishments and the level of surveillance. A high Law level leads to longer sentences in the Brig, and a high Orwellian level increases the chance of being caught while performing illegal tasks. Rations refresh your stats; vital for survival. Their distribution is organized here, so don't forget to pick up your daily allowance, or become a VIP for special treatment. The refresh rate of rations does deteriorate if their tier is lower than yours. Your tier increases every five levels. While tier 1 rations offer a 'well fed' status up to level 5, at level 6 they will offer only half the benefit. A ration two tiers below your present tier will add only slight nourishing regeneration. - In syndicates you can team up with other citizens. If you meet all the requirements, you can either found your own syndicate, or support the founding of one Via your CORETECHS you can check all existing unions, apply for a membership, or enter your syndicate, once you're a member.
Notes
- Freebooter stations do not provide daily rations:
- "Awww, looking for a free daily ration? Not in freebooter territory, matey! I'm a magnanimous sort though. I'll trade you one of my hard stolen rations for some bonds."
- "Booters don't get nuthin' for free, friend. But grease my palm with bonds and I'll trade you one of these rations I came across completely by chance…"
- "You feelin' a mite hungry, partner? I could see my way to procuring something nutritious and un-delicious. If you have the bonds, o'course…thems the 'booter rules!"
Additional information from the storyline
The Capital Government Center at Tau Station, is made from regocrete, a cement mixture of rocky material from the asteroid itself as well as leftover rubble from The Catastrophe, the building is tall and narrow. When you first enter the building, you notice that there's no front desk. There's a lift, with a tall screen next to it. The screen probably was used at one point to display which rooms belonged to whom, but right now it's fritzing out, alternating between a blue screen and static. There's a cleaning woman with her cleaning bots orbiting her like tiny satellites (A Rude Awakening).
It was here that I saw Errik Mclure during a mysterious phone call, starting the mission Ready Player Everyone.
Also here, in a building next to the governmental offices, is housed the Super's Office of Cornelius (A Rude Awakening).
