Rolling for Income. You roll Profit Dice (white) and Loss Dice (red) all together. Facility income is the difference between their totals.
Negative Outcomes = 0.
Subject to a maximum of 20, the Profit Dice you roll for each Core Facility is based upon the total of one or more specific World Traits (see Player Mat), plus two Profit Dice for each Quantum Core Utilized per Facility.
The Loss Dice you roll is equal to the world’s Hostility decreased by each Security Utilized (subject to a minimum of zero). Loss Dice are not applied to Labs.
Usage. You Utilize a Unit by paying its Usage Fee to the Unit’s owner (unless you own it, which is free). You can’t refuse a Usage request, or overcharge. The fee is set by interstellar convention. Your personnel will tolerate no violation. Just take the money.
No Freebees. You can’t give or loan teracredits to a Player (with the exception of Usage Fees). You can’t “forgive” any Usage Fee. (Your Board will permit neither.)
Borrowing Teracredits. At any time you may, once, borrow ŧ43 from the Bank. In doing so, you receive a ŧ50 Secured Debt card, which is deducted from your total wealth at the end of the game.
Change. You may make change at any time. The Banker may require this if denominations are needed.
Tax Relief: If you can’t afford a tax, you pay only the cash you have.
