Looking for ideas that attract Trade/supply factions - Skorak - 02-27-2018
Well it's really simple, most of my go to suppliers for Battlegroup Harmony are not as active anymore.
I don't want to do oorp diplomacy but I also don't intend to send out 10 comms that won't be unanswered.
Does anyone have a clever idea for that? I tried to make an undirected message but that didn't quite work out.
This is about building stuff, not maintenance. I could sure do a lot myself but it feels weird. Harmony is not a trading group.
I'm pretty sure I just missed a lot of groups that would even be active around the area.

Since someone asked me why I was asking for suppliers here. I'm not.
I'm asking for ideas. Essentially I said this on skype: "I want to know what makes people interested in clicking something and then saying I wanna supply that."
Or if people got more creative ideas really.

Make a supplies board that pays people for deliveries.

Ok. What has to be supplied? Pob, SRP vessel or general supply flow?

This. Considering that Grey Market has just apparently ceased to be, this is your best bet right now.
(considering that a public supplies board for a project on this end is being drawn up, yeah, supplies boards are the in thing now)

Unfortunately, only answer is credits. A lot of credits. There are exceptions sometimes, but rarely. I remember how the RFP was roleplaying rebuilding of Brandenburg Station and despite we made delivery bonuses, we had troubles to attract traders to do it and in the end were saved by few dedicated players from official factions. Not a single indie was interested, probably because while profit/time ratio was really high for NPC cargos, it was still not on par with ore trading (we could not afford to pay bonuses that high and invest billion or so for something what was just roleplay representation).

I think it is the payment. For example lets take Kruger who could help you, what is better, spend 10 minutes mining silver ore and 20-25 minutes delivering it for 60mil or spend 20 minutes moving argentum silver to some pob for bonus of 2.5m(totaling 12.5m) + right now they could realy be in trouble helping Harmony? However if the only option is to set bonus that high, perhaps it will be easier for you to pay someone else to produce it for you.
Some requirments for building stuff is just not worth it, I think we could have mined/traded twice as much cash in the time that we spent building stuff.
