There are a couple of items that are a little
unclear to me. I was hoping I could get a few answers here.
1) What is the maximum energy reserve of a city? And where does it list it?
2)How do Efficiency differ from Economics and what are it's effects on the game?
3) How do police work?(i.e. Does it reduce drones and by how much?)

1) Given that you have enough orbital energy and food platforms engrgy can get very high the skies the limit so to speak.
2) Your bases produce energy, good economics give more energy per square at a real high level (+3) and above it gives you a trade bonus. Efficiency is how much energy a city gives you in the end. Low efficiency means that more total energy of city will be lost to inefficiency. High efficiency helps to stop this. Also the further your city is from your H.Q. the more inefficiency you get.
3) A high police rating lets you use units to impose martial law and supress drones, low police rating will cause drones when you station military units outside of a city.
Hope this helps
