Trade Bug Reports and Requests

[Xoria]

Well I am concerned with the ULTRA-High price of H-Fuel in Omega-52 at Sevastopol Depot, a facility DEDICATED to the gathering of H-Fuel from Tbilisi below using it's stolen GMG Gas-Miner. Some of this fuel is used by the Coalition while some is sent to it's closest allies (Mollys/Hessians) while any remaining stocks is put into storage on the depot itself.

I'm not asking for a 100 Credit Buy, just a slight adjustment to better fit the RP of the facility. Remember not many people can actually GO to Omega-52 and BUY goods there, just a small amount of individuals such as the Hessians, trusted Zoners and the occasional Volgograd Industrial Transport.

I'll answer earlier posts later when I have time to take a look at the technical issues involved. This one is an easy answer though.

HFuel price balancing is very, very tricky because it is resold nearly everywhere. Consequently, reducing its resale price anywhere potentially creates bugged routes that are impossible to predict and terrifically hard to manage in the long run. Sevastopol's HFuel price is set up within the usual pricing structure for HFuel. Doing anything else is asking for major trouble. Just consider it as due to problems with inefficiency, high labor cost, or equipment difficulties that make the HFuel the Coalition is mining much more expensive. You can also consider that the Coalition is primarily attempting to be independent in its own fuel supply needs rather than becoming a reliable supplier for other factions - and so they sell fuel at a high price in order to keep demand low.

So the short answer is : technical balancing issues, or in other words, math.
This issue will exist for every commodity that is resold in many locations.
