Hi,

Whilst filtering out the galaxy map to only show high tech systems, I noticed one of the options was to show economy's that are 'Service' only. What exactly is a 'service' economy in ED? The only 'service' system I had data on is a prison called Warren prison mine in Ross 128.

Even Sol comes under service economy.

Cheers

Well Ross 128 was a prison world in Elite 2. And as for Earth, it's supposedly just a big resort world for the rich.

Service in that regard with those two clues sounds like its most likely people-based industries such as tourism (Sol) and, well, enforced tourism (Ross 128's prison).

But if you check the filters in the galaxy map 'Tourism' has it's own check box. Also 'Military' has a check box, but no military systems exist yet.

@Jenner - Thanks, I did not know that, regarding SOL, you would think it would be under 'Tourism' since it is a holiday resort.

Hrm.

Well Ima stop guessing at other interpretations of "service", especially with a prison involved. >________>

The text says a permit is required. It's actually the exact same text from Frontier, I believe.

"Services" can be anything basically that doesn't have a tangible product.

Just like in the real world service industry differentiates itself from manufacturing in that nothing (for the most part) is actually built and sold. In other word your production or output is usually not a tangible good. Government technically falls under service industry so a prison colony would also technically qualify.

Well that kind of indicates that the final game is going to support those elements.

Off topic but a prison break mission would be quite cool. Probably not workable until a future first person expansion though.

*Runs off to DDA to see if it's in the pipeline*

There was a broken mission in First Encounters with that concept where you had to take two "hitchhikers" out of Imperial territory.
