I am fairly new to this and am trying to cut cost in operations. I am finding this difficult for reason that when I purchase from the market. I am paying almost twice the market for it and more than is needed. I would like to set up contracts corp to corp with other countries who produce it. I understand that it is more of a hassle setting up all the contracts. But can't it be cheaper? And get it monthly as you need it continuosly as long as provider is keeping up with demand. Now if I find it cheaper on the market I can still keep contract but have enterprise buy amounts when price is low and stock it back for when price get high and contracts are fualting. Does any of this make sense? Any countries willing to contract amounts of materials I need per corp? Let me know. |

You'll prob have to set up contracts on your own. What you need to do is set your corps buying quality to 120 then contract 2 or 3 products at high quality into the corp. It's pretty complicated for a new player I'd imagine so be cautious and try to read up on the forums about Average supply quality (ASQ) Your paying over market price for the quality.
You could try dropping salaries to cut costs but not to low. |

Or you could take Orbiter's advice in another thread and just buy at 170 quality. You'll save yourself a headache trying to figure out ASQ that way until you have a better understsanding. |
