1. The Advisory System - Next step
As of today, the advisory system is active for all players in game levels 1 to 4. It is on by default and can be turned off on the automation pages.
The number of different messages is increased from 10 to 30 and it is leading players to many more improvements in their economies. Each advice shows once in two weeks and will of course disappear if the problem does not exist anymore.
A "Next Advice" button will be added on May 15 and will make it possible to see more than one message. Currently, one single message is showing at log in. Players will be able to go through all the messages and fix all that needs fixing in their countries in one go.
Players who follow the advice will quickly improve their finances and their countries will become profitable. A fast buildup of an army may however change this as large armies require large investments in weapons and ammunition and use man

i guess i shouldn't give away my tricks
the problem with IPO's, isn't exactly the "P/E," ratio.
PE is a function of the size of the monthly profit compaired to the market value of the corp. a corps value can out run the profit, and once it does, its difficult to bring the market value back down...
if a corp makes 1B profit a GM, that means it will out run the PE of 50 at 500B, so once it rises above 500B, it can not be IPOd. Unless you find a way to lower the value of the corp.
honestly, bring back the 2 of 3 neccessary conditions. IPOing is and always has been an advanced procedure.
market values of corps, in SC have always been exploded. for some reason W3C seems to measure profitablity of corps via the market value. but when you look at bidding for corps, a corp that makes 0.5B profit at 450B market value, would cost 850B to buy, and take about 1700 GMs to pay itself back... th

"honestly, bring back the 2 of 3 necessary conditions. IPOing is and always has been an advanced procedure."
Are we to take this statement that you want IPO procedures to be tougher? Is that what you are saying?

Orbiter does not know the changes that have happened since he's been gone. They are not the same as when he left. Corps are completely different now. They are bigger with more employees and make 1/2 the profit they did when he left. He will see for himself soon enough.

Hmm that did not post well. I agree with orbiter and love that info. I just wanted him to see how corps are now and that they have changed slightly is all. I'm going to try to devalue some corps to get them to ipo.

thanks Christopher, its Gir, from Invader Zim
anyways, i don't want to make IPOs harder
it used to be, that their where three conditions for IPOing. The 2 we have now, and Corp Assets, that is corp cash and supplies. But you only had to meet 2 of the 3 conditions.
So you could have a big market value, that would out run the profits, killing the PE ratio. But if the corp had good supplies, (and the large market value proves its success,) you could still IPO, even with terrible PE ratio.
They changed it to what we currently have. Stating that it was to complicated for new players to understand.
