Weird UP planet... I think

Just ascended and had a good look at my UP...
So, I have no CO or officers ( they were automatically dumped, but they'll return

), 8k raw UP (precisely) and 3 UP planets:
+ 1,128 Unit Production
+ 4,501 Unit Production
+ 7,399 Unit Production
Still...
Unit Production 8,000 /day (20,800 total)
The only explanation I can come up with is that the third UP planet is for some reason disregarding the rules...
Note: each UP/def/att/cov planet can match 50% 'natural' power, to a max of the numbers below.
I found this planet some time ago, abandoned (its previous owner must've had the same issue with it, who knows...). I've no intention of exploiting this bug (if that's what it is) any longer, so here I am.

When you have no CO, you do get a bonus to UP/Income as far as I know, but if it's large enough to cause that I've no real idea.

neither the no commander bonus, nor the self commander bonus would give that much increase...
but if one takes ascension bonus to be 10% to UP, and no commander bonus the UP would be 20725... and that is almost what you gave...

I'd already taken in consideration 10% from having no CO (that's why I'd mentioned it in the first place). Didn't think about an ascension UP bonus, though; I thought that only goes for military effectiveness. Still, it'd be fine if an admin had a look at it... just so that nobody can accuse me of anything. Not that I plan staying below 14798 UP for long...

I like round numbers

ah, so it was exact... we thought you had maybe up to 20ish+-
round numbers are nice indeed...

I wondered about this earlier.. I don't think it matters what each planet has, as long as all your planets together don't add up to more than 50% of your natural.
Like if you have 8k raw, you could have two UP planets at 4k each, or one at 6k and one at 2k.

That is incorrect the 50% of RAW up is per planet, so if he has an 8k raw, that 7.5k planet is only giving him 4k boost.

or the 50% is summed and not literally 'per planet' ...
your assessment of ONE planet breaking the rules is right...but i will not ban the planet

i thought it was 50% times but the number of planets times by sum of the planets, eg 1,128+4,501+7,399= 13028
then as you have 3 planets your allowed 150% of total so thats 12,000
and 8000+12000=20000,
but the extra 800up isnt that as you have no co so you get 10% of your raw
