4.85 Economy Bug Reports

[SimonBlack]

Found the screenshot concerning Ogashawa and Hawaii Liner


Ogashawa is still the main supplier of H Fuel to all the major houses. Naha's price is okay. But Fujisawa only helps to reduce expenditures on terraforming operation of Miura. H Fuel price should be reduce to be lower than that on Aomori. Besides it would make trading Fuel from mining facility to distribution point. Also Hawaii Liner could actually be supported with Ogashawa's Fuel. Hence a raise would be needed on Hawaii. If it conflicts with economy, H Fuel price in Omicrons should be slightly reduced. Not necesarily, though.

Also Liberty -> Rheinland and Kusari -> Bretonia runs are a fail. (I know you won't like this, but in my opinion it's a huge error in otherwise neat trading system, here are a few points why)
1. Blockade trade is between lawful corporations.
2. Contraband should be run between Junker and pirate bases, not corproate facilities, because that implies that there's a government contract and that borders are open.
3. Right now we have IC trains supplying Rheinland with resources from Liberty.
4. Prices should be reduced anyway, they are slightly to high, even with the logic of "higher demand". (again, the higher demand makes sense, but lawful facilities should not have routes)
5. Blockade is hard to enforce because RM/LN and KNF/BAF aren't there to catch smugglers all the time and quite frankly it would be boring job pew-pewing oorp trains running contraband by lanes. It can hardly be stopped. A trader explodes, but will continue the run the next time regardless.
6. Main trading corridors should be Bering+Hudson; Kepler+Galileo; Omega 3+7; Taus; Cortez+Magellan; Sigma 13; Sigmas (heading to omicrons); Gallia should have more inner-house routes rather than inter-house ones with the exception of Council.

I understand Xoria that it would be a huge amount of work, but Bretonia-Kusari and Rheinland-Liberty runs should be reconsidered. (as well as some issues regarding gallia, it wont die out if it wont have great runs with other houses. people are already spread and thats a good thing)
