Perhaps someone who has a regular copy (comes out in the UK at the end of *next* week) and therefore a manual can tell me whether it throws any light on how maintenance is deducted for base facilities.
The help says that certain items cost certain support (e.g. - Rec commons costs 1) - I had assumed that this would show up as consumed energy in my city screen but it doesn't. I have a base with Rec. common, and hologram theatre (cost 3) but no consumption is showing up! Is the cost being totalled across all cities and then being deducted from my energy stockpile instead? If so where do I see my current total costs and current (gross not net) total income?

i believe in HQ, there is a report screen that gives you the total report. in that screen, you can also click on each city name and determine wheither it has a surplus or deficit (or breaking even).

Hit each Function key in turn (F1, F2...) and check out the useful reports there. Some are similar to CIV II reports, others are not...
