	* '''Tech Investment''': Each RP invested throughout the year increases the opportunity for a Tech Year Advancement at the end of the 12-month period. As the required investment equals 50% of the final month's Total Domestic Product (TDP) (income, expenses, but not counting the Previous Pool Point), each RP invested increases the chance of a Tech Year Advancement. If the required investment is met, the Tech Year Advancement automatically occurs. Anything less results is a reduced chance of the advancement; anything over allows for a (reduced) chance of a second advancement that same year.		* '''Tech Investment''': Each RP invested throughout the year increases the opportunity for a Tech Year Advancement at the end of the 12-month period.

It is a one-time cost ''for the purpose of getting the colonists to the planet''. It does not represent the purchase or construction of new ships or other assets that could be utilized elsewhere at a later time, but the direct investment in getting this specific colony started and on its way. (The colony will still require a monthly expense in it's Dependent 1st Stage.) Once the ''Colony Fleet'' purchase is made, the assembling of the necessary resources (including any Star Fleet ships assigned) will take a minimum of 3 months before it may launch. The departure point will be a randomly-determined homeworld or major industrial world. Transit time will be determined by distance between the two worlds and the [[Trade Routes\|average commercial speed]]. A colony's founding will be the month of the fleet's arrival (though the year of arrival will count as Year 1).		* '''Colony Fleet (100 RP):''' The RP investment into establishing a colony represents the funding and devoting of asset resources by commercial, Star Fleet and other Federation agencies to ensuring the proper people, supplies and support makes it to the target planet.

Purchase is handled as a complete funding of the entire route between the two systems, before development may begin. Each month-long segment requires 3 actual months of development before it is ready to host trade traffic. The whole transit route must be completed before commerce benefits begin applying.

This is the number of years it will take to jump from Minor to Major status, assuming annual development funds are made uninterrupted.

When that happens, more often than not, they budget the cost for that complete run of the class from that same month up until the delivery of the final vessel (though final payment may occur well before then). In any case, indicate the purchase of the class and the funded RPs in the Debit section of the Turn Order Sheet for that year, as well as how many months are left to complete payment.
