Personal Expenditure
Credits per octant
Players will be spending their pay on living expenses and personal items of equipment.
Lifestyle costs (food, drink, accomodation, entertainment, basic personal
possessions etc) are calculated as a single payment per octant.
You may choose a lifestyle each octant, however you may only lower your
lifestyle by one level per octant (its harder to get used to a lower lifestyle
and a higher one).
