I've noticed a few board postings that mention this but I wanted to post about it because it makes my eye twitch. I've set my sale strategy to follow product quality by +200% and my products sell right around the true market price instead. Maybe this is intentional to ensure that product is sold on the market but it takes away from the idea of a realistic simulation game that reflects true supply and demand effects on product cost. If it causes a problem with the economics of the game then don't allow me to set my asking price that high. My corps are successful either way but I'd really like to know that my decisions have a real impact on my success of failure. Otherwise, why play if the game is just going to use a default setting instead of carrying out my instructions? By the way GM, thanks for taking the time to read all of these. You seem to get piled on a lot by players in some of these bulletins but you respond to every one

I am glad i am not the only one who say so.
I kept thinking i might be wrong.
I did quite alot of experiment with Trade Strategy.
Setting it to -10,+10,+30,+50 for numbers of corp, recording down their income and selling quality.

It really doesn`t matters what u set it as, they were always sold at a predetermined selling quality.
The income and selling quality is always the same, doesn`t matters TS is set to -10 or +50.

I can say trade strategy is already obeselte.
