It is working. Problem is; you are ordering upgrades, which make it more profitable. If the corp sells a lot of products, it's not gonna give it all to you. It's gonna order 2-3 months of supplies and write it off as a business expense. That's why CEOs are always picky about welfare. They pay several taxes that count as a business expense and receive the same profit, but the country receives more from CEO controlled than state.
CEOs want a productive populace that makes the best out of the salaries and is efficient. Their corporations buy(and rumored to) consume less and produce more.
Your state corps aren't a mass commonwealth with you as the focal point. Switch to a common market with a player who doesn't care about profits (like me) who will contract stuff to you at market price to reduce costs. Plus, you can get much higher qua from them. I sell qua 308 to my common market fellows at market price and
Ok so somebody buying from me 225% product for 381% price in 5 minutes? I don't belive it.
I set now time based with follow quality.
20% above and reduce 5% every month.
May it be better or worst? I must test it.
Btw. I don't buy upgrades now. I have 200.
When I see price for what it's offer ... and calculate it ... It's market price with considering quality of product but NOT +% I added in setting so ... Ah I don't understand it.
I try that strategy I post before. Maybe then it will be not selling for dumping prices.
Btw. I read on forum that trade prices don't work as protection of game economy and it's always sell for actual price * quality.
Ok ... I think I understand you... I watch it and I must say if the selling strategies really works my corps invest they profit to making huge storage of materials they needed. Some of them have some materials for 35 months so
For now I know where is the profit but still as is discribed on other topics. Selling prices are not functional
What planet are you on. If you're on WG, I can help you.
FB ... I experimenting with settings for now ... It looks like the prices strategies not working. When I read forum half of players telling that work and they use 30/5 time based and half telling it's not working and it's the same as best price because the developer don't want free market.
Did it work for you?
