Great ideas. As befits entrepreneurs and capitalists, I think the idea of having team members "manage" particular bases has a lot of appeal - after all, Morgan abhors a Planned economy.
Hmnm - a "stock option" plan based on shareholder value (total AC score, maybe?). Original team members get "founder options" and subsequent joiners get slightly fewer, declining in # as the game progresses. Base Governors (Managing Directors?) get to keep x% of the credits they generate at their base (needed to "buy" other services such as terraforming, or defenses), as well as exercising their stock options
I could see a base producing mainly formers, say (Morgan Construction?) and terraforming other bases' tiles at maybe a 5 ec credit per terraformed tile. Another base is the Super Science City, getting a credit or 2 every turn from the others, while a third base builds a Command Center and a Biocenter and churns out veteran troops for rent to other bases
Until clean reactors, a base could build an aerospace (and prolly a punishment sphere, if bombers were being built) and home the airforce there. Similarly with the navy. And they'd get a credit or 2 per turn as 'protection money" for defending other researching/producing bases
Big items, like SP's - that call for crawlers and upgrades - would be by Board decision as they'd involve an effort by multiple bases
Voting shares could be allocated based on each bases contribution of the 3 necessities (so that a base going a few turns at stockpile energy would still be massively contributing to overall financial health
And although Morgan can't run a Planned economy, some advance planning would need to be done at the exec level for base placement issues, tech tree choices, etc etc
And until 'Poly creates the new forums we prolly need our own pre-planning one to get serious discussions going - I'll see what I can set up for this. Also this style of base management/ec credits would prolly need an XL spreadsheet to track - I'll have a go at this too as a first draft

Vander, Satyagraha, Googlie, welcome! I, Mr Chaunk, am the self appointed doorman here, and I welcome you to Mr Morgans great Monarary domain with open arms. I do hope you find everything satisfying and perhaps even exciting. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any queries/comments or even problems!
And Mr Tassadar, we await your decision with baited breath! The life of poverty with the other factions might appeal to you, but we feel that wealth is always better than a poke in the eye with a dirty stick (a.k.a. Spartan training routines) anarchic pettiness and confusion, or even being forced to live in the dirt.
Morgan Central is still open for more investment of course! The more the merrier (and the more profitable too!)

Some thoughts on Directors' Compensation
Morgan Industries is capitalized at, for want of a number, 1000 ec's (with liquidity of 100 to start the game)
Each director has 'anted-up" 50 ec's for their initial shareholding (the paid-up capital - the balance being Treasury stock) If there are 10 initial members then they each own 10% of MI.
Their shareholding fluctautes on a pro-rata basis dependent on the wealth they create for MI (as new bases get founded, each Director - in order of signing up, becomes that Base's Governor (Managing Director) and is responsible for managing that base's contribution to overall wealth which is through the 3 basics - energy, psych and minerals)
(This will be tracked on an XL spreadsheet)
Stock options can be granted (by Board approval) for, say, exceptional base growth or contribution to wealth creation, or notionally to new members so that they can, over time, have the opportunity to grow their stake equal to some founding members.
Out of the wealth generated by bases, a percentage is earmarked for Morgan Industries itself (so that, for example, it can build the Merchant Exchange, or support centralized services such as covert operations - an infantry provbe defender would be the responsibility of each base individually, while travelling probes, or foil/cruiser probes would be the responsibility of Central Services)
So Base Managing Directors have subsequent choices of, for example, building a former for base improvement, or renting one from another base to terraform around it while it concentrates on a Research Hospital, or whatever.
The Director can then create personal "wealth" through increasing the overall pie (of which he has a relatively fixed stake), increasing his base's contribution to that pie (thereby increasing incrementally his stake) or by maximising his own base(s) wealth creation so that the share left over after taxes (for centralized services) and base improvements grows.
Ah, what it is to be a capitalist

Just from what he said here, it seemed obvious that he wanted to join. 
Now I'm sure I haven't joined the wrong team
