Hello, this will be a long post
and, well maybe not annual, but some communication is necessary. In the past when i requested price feed back, it has opened the door to space trade. I'd like to do that again, and look at a few products i've been successful at selling, and a few more
before getting into prices, their are several ways to calculate price. considering for most products, i'm selling at 450Q, calculating the initial cost of 330Q, then adding upgrades, considering military upkeep, is cheaper than just figuring out 450Q, but i'm saving time, and cutting the GC cost to a fraction, i figure this is the best, feed back, and math on this is welcome.
First, i'd like to review Cervus. Currently, i have 10 docks, that meet my needs in supplying 4 weapons, and their ammo, 8 products. 10 docks means 100 total sales offers, and over all, it works out about right.
i intend to review 4 weapons and ammo, 8 products i sell on Cervus, additionally, i'd like to discuss 2 weapons and ammo, 4 products, on Columba, and 5 weapons, 3 ammo, on Canri, with a mention of 2 more ammo products. a total of 22 products.
Stealth Bombers, Base price 1.33B SC$ per bomber
25 SB per sale = 33.25B x 3.3 (330Q) 109.725 / 32B per GC, 3.42GC my current price is 3GC, for over 330Q. This is a FB only product
Laser Guided Bombs, base price 24.00M SC$ per bomb
1250 LGB per sale = 30B x 3.3Q = 99B /32B = 3.09GC, my current price is 2.99GC, this is a FB only product
Both of those products have been my bread and butter for the last few months.
Precision Bombers, base price 164.00M SC$ per bomber
250 Bombers per sale = 41B x 4.5Q = 184.5B / 32B = 5.76GC my current price is 1.3, just updated from 1.2 for 450Q
Precision Bombs, base price 5.10M SC$ per bomb
2500 Bombs per sale = 12.75B x 4.5 = 57.37B / 32B = 1.79GC, my current price is 1.0GC for 450Q
Fighter Planes, 167.00M SC$ per aircraft
250 per sale = 41.75B x 4.5Q = 187.87B / 32B = 5.87GC, my current price is 1.3GC updated from 1.2GC for 450
Fighter Missiles, 4.80M SC$ per missile
2500 per sale = 12B x 4.5Q = 54B / 32B = 1.68GC, my current price is 1GC, for 442Q, i do how ever indend to sell at 450Q, i just got the waters muddied.
Attack Helicopters, (these sell, better than bombers, to my surprise,) base price 156.00M SC$ per helicopter
250 per sale = 39B x 4.5Q = 175.5B / 32B = 5.48GC, current price, 1.2GC for 450Q
Attack Helicopter Missiles, base price 5.75M SC$ per missile
2500 per sale = 14.37B x 4.5Q = 64.68B / 32B = 2.02GC current price 1GC for 450Q
I have no intentions of selling drones, NFP or NH, i'll leave drones to some one else, and for the naval airforce, theirs a flaw in buying HQ navy from space, unless all the parts are available. The flaw is, when a unit, wing or navy is put together, all the pieces average. if you expect you NFP to operate at 450Q because you bought them with GC, but manually bought your defensive end at 330Q, you'll end up with a navy in the 370-400 range, at best. so i wont sell them, until i can sell all the parts.
so, for my exisiting and potential customers, would you buy more, less, or about the same, if i raised weapons prices, and lowered ammo prices?
any other thoughts?
a thought i'd like to pass on, a very famous, skilled, powerful player, that is probably in the top 5 best current players one of the few i'd run from once said, something to the effect of, swiping your card, get drunk, and have fun all week end. I'd like to make that possible, while still making the 4$/month a viable game. I feel finding the right prices that players are willing to buy at, is good for both
