Starbase Tax Miscalculated?

Paying large taxes for starbases all within my territory

Okay, so I'm having massive problems keeping net positive cash flow, and checking my economy reveals that I'm paying out a lot of money in starbase taxes, in accordance with a United Planets law.

The law states that an 8 bc tax is to be paid for each starbase in another race's sector.

All of my starbases are in my territory, and they are also in sectors in which I hold at least the majority of the territory. I'm not sure what qualifies the starbases as in enemy territory, but I really can't see how these are.

This is probably a rare bug, because that particular UP law has to be passed for it to even have a chance to occur, but it is crippling - At best I have a 200bc deficit each turn, paying over 600bc in starbase tolls.

Running an AMD 2800+, 1GB RAM, GForce 6600GT with updated drivers, though I'm not sure that helps any.

Gah! Got something wrong. Apologies, and could a mod move this to [bug reports] please?

I have had this also. There are two things:
1) I charges WAY WAY more than 8 bc per turn, and
2) It is backwards! The race who is supposed to GET money ends up PAYING money!!

I'm going to go ahead and start a new thread in the appropriate forum. Seems to me this one got missed somehow.
