You have been quoted an office rental fee of 11,504 ISK. The rental period is for 30 days. The corporation renting you the office can end the contract at the end of a rental period. The contract might be automatically extended if the office has not been vacated at the end of a rental period. This is done at the discretion of the corporation renting you the office. If the contract is automatically extended then you will receive a bill for the extension of the contract. If you do not pay the bill by the end of the extension, then the office will be repossessed. In order to rent an office at this station, you must accept the fee. Do you accept?


I rented an office for 11,504 then stopped playing leaving it autopaying thinking it would only cost 140k a year but come back to find the price had increased by a substancial amount costing me more than 36 million extra

Decent idea. Having some way to see how rental rates will be affected by regional and system population would also be useful.

A map panel filter industrial index added to the map screen showing where rent/industrial fees are highest would give players a quick glance at where they might want to move their production or overall activity centers to enjoy lower rates.

Being able to mouse-over a system and see the current rental fee average for offices in the system, and the industrial tax index rate would be helpful.
