There are always 2 sides to every accident claim... now for the Rages claim form...


(Form as taken from dogscoffs hilarious post)
Galactic Insurance - Damage Claim Form.
=======================================
Title Mr/Mrs/Ms/Other(please state): Primary
Surname: AnnihilationBot
First name(s): Sequencer

Registration of damaged vehicle: 401-GYK-534
Make, model and colour of damaged vehicle:
Class V Aggressor Special Edition (With the Tinted side windows, and roof racks), Silver/Transparent

Engine size: 5,000 tonnes.

Describe, in your words, how the damage was caused. Use diagrams where necessary:
After noticing one of our neighbouring lesser species going the wrong way through a one way warp point, we approached to inform the pilot of their error. Our 500 Megaton message beacons (all 90 of them), were not welcomed by this obviously inexperienced pilot.

State who, in your opinion, was at fault:
The lesser species

Describe the damage to your vehicle: Besides the obvious bubbling in the tinting, which is almost impossible to rectify. Various biological components from the decayed former crew members of their ship are splashed all over the paint work, and radiation has set their impressions there permanantly. Lastly, the small idol hanging off the rear-vision window fell off and is presumed lost.

Describe any injuries sustained by yourself or your passengers:
Maintenance bots 8-43 were taken offline for several cycles, delaying the reattachment of the roofracks taken off due to the blatent speed and strafing tactics of the other pilot. (Spare parts claim forms in pages following)

HOLD EVERYTHING!!!!
A witness has been found. The witness states there was a third party involved. They say it was the Phong who caused it all.
Those philthy, phreaking Phong phanatics, ya just can't trust them!

There really is no other way I see to limit your builds except maintenance. If you ever played where you had a no maintenance race you can see the differance. I just think 25%/turn is high but at least it can be easily changed.

Well, another way to do it would be to add more things to spend your money on: (as per Beck's comment.) Facility maintenence, debt repayments, civilian welfare, commerce/ industry and infrastructure and other things.

Of course this is micromanagment hell, (or heaven, for us MM perverts that like that sort of thing=-) not to mention a lifetime of additional programming for Aaron.
