The direct Trading feature will be extended with the trading of all service oriented products.

The feature will be installed with the coming game update, later this week. ( Most probably Wednesday October 5).

Trading of Service oriented products

This group of products is currently only traded on all world markets. The group includes some of the most important products in Simcountry, including Services, High Tech Services and Electric power.

These products cannot be put into a cargo shuttle to be shipped away. Buying these products means in fact, that you are contracting the services to be delivered to your countries or corporations.

They also include sport, recreation, vacation, air transport, etc.

The addition of these products to the direct trading market includes the following functions:

1. You can instantly move products from any of your countries or enterprises to the portal and

This sounds great in theory.

Perhaps as part of this upgrade all worlds should be on a 6 spin cycle.

The negative to this is

It's making worlds looking more like continents and not unique worlds.

It'll make the use of shuttles even more redundant. Perhaps you should look at ditching space altogether, or at least make it a viable tool.

To add to what Crafty said

Perhaps the cargo shuttles should be converted to troop transport ships for space warfare and galaxy exploration vehicles. (We understand the countless man hours that were invested on your part for the space upgrades. This is a way to save face) Hey we players pushed you real hard to add space.

Now on space trade:
Remove the shuttles from the trading equation. Make trading an automated process for a price.

The transportation price will equal 5% of a products base price.

Example:

Air Transports has a base price 930SC and a market price of 1,551SC on FB world.

To sell this item to a customer on another world at the current market price would be 1,597.50SC

1,551 + 46.50 = 1,597.50sc per unit

(Base price of 930 * 5% = 46.50 delivery charge)

The free transfer between worlds of service products is a step in the wrong direction for the game.

It makes the game less "Sim". Sim for simulating the real world.


From a greed view of things, I love the announced change. I will profit. More than most players in fact.
