Contracts question (Golden Rainbow)

I noticed my military contracts keep decreasing in volume. Why?

It could be a couple different things.

Your country has a monthly spending limit, and according to the documentations, if your contracts make your country go over that limit they are automatically reduced.

Or your corps may not be producing enough to fulfill the contract. If that's the case you should see a flashing red triangle next to the corp name on your corp page.

Maybe a vet has a clearer idea as to the reason, those are two possibilities that come to my mind.

but what if you make contracts and use the rest of the spending limit on the open market

That would be fine. But I can't really analyze it without out more info.

What military items are you contracting, how many, and what quality? Are they offensive (more expensive) or defensive?

I'm going offline now (3 am here)but I'll check in tomorrow.

Also, check to see if your corp's production has fallen. An easy way to do this is to go to the corp page, click on the "review contracts" link, and it will show you what your production was last month, what the amount contracted was, and the % of production. If that % is more than 100% then your corp production has fallen. If your country welfare score is low it affects the corp production, same with the individual corp welfare, if it's low it will affect production.

Good luck, I'll check in to see if any of this has helped.
