Market price of cruise missiles (White Giant)

Now that the world markets for cruise missiles are closed, my land based cruise corp is selling all of its output to my main country. Those sales have to take place at the current "market price". Since there is no longer a market as such, how will the market price be set, and will it be at a level where I can guarantee that corporation's profitability?

Ideally, you would want to be able to ship them to another world where they are more expesive. Probably LU. But of course that means having a country with a space center on LU.

Quick thought. Maybe presidents could allow foreign shuttles to dock at their space centers, like allowing foreign military units access to your country. Or can you do that already?

Market price will coincide with base price.

Why move planetary products to the space arena exclusively. This doesn't make sense IMO. This will cause many new players who would need LBC missiles and batteries to enter the space game likely before they are financially fit to do so.

Products that are essential to the game and important to new players will trade on all the worlds.

Tom you guys are making a big mistake moving weapons/ammo to space trading only.
The extra cost involved is more than what we pay now, if we were to build our own, we cant build enough per month to justify what amount is used per attack.

In my opinion this will kill the war game further and possibly cause what few veteran players we have to leave the game.

Please reconsider

yes I agree having bombs, bombers, and LBC on the space trade is too much
plus c3s still build the space trade companies
that is what needs to be fixed
let conven missles be the space trade missile

Can we exchange legitimate points of view without threats of leaving the game. This hardly justifies such a move and that threat never works anyway.

I bet every empire builder will make their own missiles and bombs

Tom, cruise and precision bombers are important to new players. They need them to take C3s.
There are other ways granted, but its hard enough for them to take a C3 by the established method.

To add insult to injury you are putting the missiles on one space station and the delivery system on another. One is no good without the other, so now people need docks on multiple stations. At 200GC a dock... have you really thought this through?
