It is assumed that a population large enough to make an interstellar voyage will be large enough to require a system of payments and credits, to properly allocate funds for day to day consumption and contribution to the economy. But what form will these credits take? There are several things to consider.
1. Daily nourishment requirements and allocation of food resources
2. Access to specialized equipment for individuals and for institutions aboard ship
3. Allocation of material resources for new projects such as construction or upgrading of equipment
4. Determining how many credits will exist in the economy, and whether that number can grow/shrink over the course of time.
5. In addition, deciding if different credits should be issued for different needs.
6. Problems of individuals saving credits and what effect that will have on the economy.
