GM TAKE NOTICE FB >HIGH TECH SERVICES<

alright, so i guess i gotta ask, because it seems i just got blamed for this. lol

i've been mostly just buying AQUs and stealth in the red, most everything else, interceptors, helis, and such have been been either green, or only slightly red.

i have built a tons of AQU corps, allot, is that what caused this? just checking, because it really sounds like your saying that my space program has put a heavy burden on the LU and FB economies?

that wasn't the intention, but it does make me smile, that i inadvertently caused a crash from selling products on space, thats gotta be a first.

I prefer that the gm doesn't involve itself in the Econ.... Unless it gets bad enough for me personally .... Then they can

The FB market has been going crazy today. I don't know what to make of it? Oil has went from 18B shortage to an over supply in 2 days. Construction has went from 10B in the red to 1 B in the green. In 1 month lol. HTS is jumping around like crazy. Still deep in the red but seeing 8B swings. FMU deep in the red but seeing 3M swings. Services went from 1B in the green to 11B red.

It's making planning a nightmare. I just built a bunch of construction corps to supply that demand and it goes green within a month. What is causing this? Is it player manipulation? I've been looking for players shuttling in supplies but haven't noticed any.

Edit: After looking a little closer this reeks of manipulation. All the steady supply shortages have seen huge swings in the numbers. Whilst other products that don't usually have such large demand have remained fairly consistent. If this was a game error there would be a br

Agreed this is total crap

This isn't just happening on FB. The LU market is also pretty swingie at the moment. Still on average the shoratges aren't half as bad as they used to be (I mean this quite literal)

I'm not excactly sure if somebody is able to be responsible for this many 'mega swings' 1 or 2 products sure. But this isn't just happening with 1 or 2 products. It's happening with almost all lvl 3+ corporations.

Yeah I think I was wrong to call it manipulation. Your right the swings are just to big.

White Giant only saw a year or 2 of these shortages, no swings, all good.

We see such swings and they come from manual selling and buying.
We think that some players do this to make money and it is easily stopped if some of you will intervene and stabilize the market.

It will probably be profitable but mainly, it will stop these people from doing what they do.

also, increase the stocks for your corporations (automated) and your country (also automated) and you will be less dependent on the daily fluctuations.

the system does intervene if it sees a danger for the market.
This happened once or twice in the past week, with one or two products.

The markets seem to have settled down. Lets all get a beer and enjoy the good life.
