Starport Merchants gained 200 wishlists!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to give you all a BIG thanks for wishlisting the game as we have now reached the milestone of 200 wishlists!

As a solo dev, this means a lot to me and it's very motivating.

In the meantime, I'm always working to improve the game.

This week's update will see a lot of balance changes. Passenger transport was a tad overpowered and unbalanced compared to the other starter income streams.

To compensate, I've now added some visual feedback to let you know if you have optimized your cabins:

If you see this stamp appearing, then this means you have reached the maximum earnings potential for this specific cabin configuration.

Sadly, the Federal Authority has also decided to increase taxes (sorry). The base tax rate has now been increased from 5% to 6%.

You may also notice some visual changes here and there. Let me know what you think!

Thanks for playing, and as always, don't forget to send me your feedback!
