Best Products

Thanks for the compliment

you know, i was in a rush to get out, that doesn't sound anything like what i meant to say. or something like it i guess.

crafty, no, you fall into another, much more powerful realm of free thinker.

i guess a readers digest version, is that if 2 products have the same usage in supply, if one has a higher price. by lowering the higher price to a lower quality, you'll save more, when you increase the other product to match.

if you want to manually supply your corps... how many products can you really manage? and keep track of, in how many countries and enterprises? if you can, enjoy.

if you contract, then you'll just set it up once, and kinda shepard it, after that. but no one wants to manually set up hundreds, or even thousand of contracts!!!

so i guess this hole thing is mute?

Well....so much for the help! For once, I was really wanting help. I'd like to really start playing again. :-(

Is there someone else then, other than Orbiter since he ignored my inquiry, who can tell me what are the suggested settings for your country when you first start? Thank you.

Drew? Crafty?

I tried experimenting with a tedious process, just to see if it makes a difference. Basically I started to place large orders of supplies for individual corps, all set around 120Q at a very reduced rate (little less than the base market price with no Q effects) with a 10% increase each month if the corp does not make a purchase. I make sure I already have about 13 or so months still of the product to give it time to find the right purchase, for the off chance somebody out there is willing to dump some products at rock bottom prices. (the greater fool theory on the stock market?) I'm assuming that the sale/purchase theory is somewhat similar to stock trading? who knows... it may prove to be foolish anyway..

Whoa Khome I couldn't follow that at all.

Jan sorry I saw your post and forgot to respond, if you do want advice be more specific I'd love to try to help

It is possible I'm just not getting the dynamics of what a typical strategy is for this game, or I'm just not getting it at all...

nevermind..

Sorry, Drew. The game has changed so much since I last adequately played. I always had help in setting up the settingss such as trade strategies, sell strategies. This would be for a beginning just starting. Does that explain it better? And it's no problem, you so used to me talking about shoes, I'm sure my "serious" questions get lost. giggles. :P

Trade Strategies I can't help, I just buy for 100 and then sell for the largest amount the game will let me. It seems that there are no problems with this as long as your product is in shortage if not you will run into lots of leftover inventory (that doesn't spoil) and so not too devastating as long as you build products in deep shortage, and don't mind holding onto some inventory if the demand changes. <- of course you can always change those if a product does fall into surplus.

Thank you, Drew. I think I best stick wif shoes. Seems too difficult for this old girl to comprehend. :P

Soybeans have always been good to me.

Well I tried. lol

Its more simple than insurance I'm sure

Are you all premium members, that you get to do all this cool stuff like space shuttles?
