• Added a warning message if your bank account become negative at the next turn. After validating the end turn, if next turn's Dust should still become negative, elements will be scrapped automatically (before next turn's dust calculation). The order used to scrap elements is :
  
  

[LIST=1]

if player's tax rate is lower than 50%, force it to 50%.

the oldest player's system (if that rule is not possible : the one with the less dust)

>>> scrap buildings 1 by 1 except those giving immediate dust (system improvement dust 1 to 6), starting each time with the building having the highest upkeep.

the oldest player's ship (if that rule is not possible : the one having the less MP)

Repeat (2) system by system and (3) ship by ship until there is no more ship and all targeted buildings have been scrapped from all systems

force player tax rate to 75%.

Expel heroes, starting with the one having less XP, until there is no hero left

Scrap all remaining buildings system by system (highest system improvement upkeep first)

force player tax rate to 100%.
