Is it a bug that Premiums can't pay base upkeep?

If a super group doesn't have any subscribers in it's ranks then that super group can't pay rent.

I'm obviously aware that they cannot. That knowledge is inherent in the thread title alone, which does not ask whether they can, but rather if it's intended that they cannot. The restriction seems odd (especially since they can apparently deal with base construction), as it's a relatively basic function of being in a supergroup, which Premiums can do at Tier 2. And given that as far as I have seen it's not implicitly mentioned as a restriction, I'm curious whether it's intended. It could be a bug, or it might be a necessary technical limitation, or it might simply be intentional. If you're aware of a relevant official answer or statement, then by all means share the source. In the meantime, on the off chance that it *is* a bug it should be brought to their attention, hence the thread.

Have you gone to the base registar as a Preem and seen how that contact reacts differently to you then he does if you where a ViP? There's 3 options that Vips see that Preems don't. Create an SG, Pay Rent and create a base. The Devs invested code time into making these changes. Every knew the devs were going to put a lock on bases that's where it is.
As long as someone who pays a subscription is paying the rent Preems can enjoy all the benifits of SG membership. Base storage, base editting they can even have the star, total control. That's the in and outs of the new base system, the SG registrar got changed and nothing else.

That speculates about the question, but does not answer it. The only people that can answer the question right now are the developers, and they have not done so.

Seems like they should be able to if they're at least Tier 2 and able to join Supergroups.
