The wiki: Trade Fleet Prices currently mentions: "A new Trade Fleet costs 1000 and has a base capacity of 200."

I assume this information is wrong, or should we pay 1000 next to the requiste 200 ?

Another point of interest: "Update: Trade fleets may no longer be upgraded with taxes. In a previous version, trade fleets could be upgraded for 500 . This option is no longer available. Purchasing new trade fleets remains unchanged."

In my opinion this kind of updates should be on the forum, and the wiki should be kept up to date without all kinds of historical information on it -- one can simply look up the history through the 'Old Revisions' functionality.

The update is a temporary note until the fact is known by everyone, then it'll be removed. Otherwise people will be confused (first instinct isn't to check the history of a page if something seems confusing)

Fixed the new fleet price issue. Woops.

Actually, given the current discussions, I think everyone knows - I removed the notice.

[Iladriel]

there is still a wrong line of text in the wiki

Trade Fleets start with a capacity of 200. This can be increased by upgrading the fleet, which costs taxes.

it's on the trade routes page

Thank you, I missed that one. Fixed!

I have a new question on creating trade fleets. If i would start constructing a fourth trade fleet when do i pay the upkeep of 100 for it? When it is completed and sitting idle in my home system, or when i assign it and when it is actually trading?

You pay from the time it is completed. For example:

Week 1 you pay the first 100 , week 2 you pay the second 100 (which completes the fleet). In that case you pay from week 3 onwards (which is the first week in which the fleet would be usable).

Additionally, I have put investigating the upkeep cost of tradefleets on my todo list. It may need to be reduced a bit.
