Killocracy

Killocracy now in alpha
Added some eye-candy.
Tutorial halfway done.
The premise is that Earth has developed its technology up to the point in which it can travel throughout the galaxy but it's population only colonized a few planets, and the rest of the galaxy remains mainly unexplored.
But people are greedy and they began exploring the galaxy searching for new ways to make money, and you are one of those people.
Gameplay:
You choose one of 6 professions
explorer (discovers planets)
fabricator (builds everything/extracts raw materials)
mercenary (the armed forces)
terraformer (terraforms planets)
engineer (creates blueprints and high-end materials)
trader (moves things around)
all these professions are interconected:
ex: a fabricator needs a blueprint to build something (engineer), materials (another fabricator), a planet to set up its factories (explorer and terraformer), someone to move the materials from the planet that produced them to the planet it's needed (trader) and someone to keep them from being blown to smithereens by competitors (mercenary).
ex2: mercenaries, explorers and traders all need ships made by the fabrictors
and so on...
The Government
You are a citizen of Earth and you must respect it's laws:
- no unauthorized killing ( you have to pay someones value before you are allowed to kill them);
- you have to pay some stupidly high taxes;
and thats about it.
How to kill and not to get killed;
To kill someone you have to pay its value to the government.
If none can pay your value none can kill you
When you kill someone you get half his value ( it's the only way to raise your value beyond the basic value);
The more you kill the less likely you will get killed;
BUT you cant kill on your own, you have to hire a mercenary ( good enough to beat the one that is protecting your target), and if you manage to kill your competitor maybe you can instate a monopoly and you win back more than you paid....
And so the economy goes round and round.
This project is about 50% finished
Done in php, by following Halls tutorial ( Thank you Halls

with the help of the community ( thank you community

sorry about my not so good english ...
