I like new idea for planed reset.
Just would like to add some my ideas and proposals to think about.
Regarding idea for adding Tir2 commodities in order to achieve 100% of efficiency:
What if Tir2 commodities need will start to be active when you achieve more than for example 200 of Pioneers.
Luxuries should not be limited to only some Tier2 commodities, I think all Tier2 commodities can be used to achieve 100% in this way you will give different production possibilities to companies which depends of materials on that planet/market.
What if you can use Tie3 commodities to get efficiency boost, For example 10% of boost if you already fulfilled other needs.
Regarding private exchange, I like the idea but would like also:
Private exchange should have some sort of Tax paying in order to make official purchase.
What if there can be commodities which is forbidden on some planets, in that way there can be possible to look for black market exchange in order to get buy/sell of that commodities.
In order to combine this with proposal 1. you can achieve more than 10% of boost if you get those products for your workers.
In order to get use of Tax paying which would be collected by planet government. When enough taxes has been collected players can vote in order to chose how to use them on that planet. Like to start some global project on that planet for example Building space station or improving some of planet resources like searching for Ores, improving Planet quality to achieve better soil fertility, building observatory in order to see which ores can be find on planets in that system, etc.
This can give more possibilities to get materials for lot of proposals from pre-resset video like:
Who use black market can get negative points,
Players can have more different commodities to build,
Players will have possibility to work together in order to build up planets in order to achieve better results,
…
I have filling when I start to write this post, that there is no end of possibilities and ideas of what can be implemented. Lets end it here for now and give others time to think about this and maybe offer some their impression or ideas.
To post a bulletin a fee will be necessary. The fees may go to a faction (if the market is located in a faction space) or to some other entity. Eventually we want corporations to control some aspects of planets and systems and therefore taxes could go to the dominating corporation. What makes a corporation dominating over others is up to debate though.
Are there near-future plans to allow a corp to maintain a brief bio?
When you view a corp with “corps” command, I feel that it would be useful for a corp to be able to provide some public information such as their purpose, services offered, contact procedures and methods etc.
I like the command line interface for opening buffers. Is there any plan to expand it into a scripting language for plotting or calculating information:
E.G. typing
VAL $BSE.NC1 / $FE.NC1 -1 to get the profit ratio of creating BSEs in NC1 station
LINE $BSE.NC1 $FE.NC1 to plot the relationship between the two
10 H20 turns into 7 Drinking Water at the food processor, which is then 0.7 tons (.1 ton per DW).
10 tons turned into 0.7 tons when the water was purified! Thus 93% of the water was pollutants that needed to be removed apparently.
(But more seriously):
I think the recipe should be 10->10. People aren’t producing drinking water even though the price is stuck at the MM price of 63 because its not very profitable.
Also, H20 should be .1 ton as well, if DW is .1 ton. This would make it shippable. At present it makes no sense to ship water because its too heavy, especially with the newly changed higher fuel costs.
Comparison between cxs
A comparison table would be nice, in fact same as cx is for a single exchange, but with the prices of multiple exchanges next to each other. The head and rows (and selection) would remain same, but the columns would show the numbers of different cxs. (maybe just a selection: price / ask&bid / amount)
(of course the currency has to be noted in the head of the table for the different cxs)
This could be especially helpful as soon as user exchanges (?name?) come into the game and would support traders.
Userdefined list of items
Most players have some goods they trade more often than others. Maybe have another selection “list” in the dropdown: “user”, where everybody can add specific items?
while the 3d planet model in the PLI screen is obviously a placeholder, I think it’d be nice if the colour of each plot was darker the more developed it is for the final version.
A little suggestion regarding “contracts” (as the devs are working on that atm):
please do not have just “goods vs money”-contracts, but also “goods vs goods”.
Example:
manufactoring MHL in your WEL, but you need Iodine (and others) as input…
-> have a contract "delivering 4 MHL after 4 days after receiving 4 HE, 4 FE and 4 I and 2.000 ICA"
So a business partner can deliver the required ressources and pay someone to do manufatoring for him.
wow, tried it directly after renaming: there was still the transponder (the buffer was new though)
now: name…
maybe something was not refreshed…? nevermind… closed
experts are gained quite fast, this should be slower (5 professions maxed out in 2 months?) or the number should be multiplied by 10 (50 experts = 28.4 % bonus though)
experts should be limited if they are not used (e.g. max 1…6 unused experts), so one cannot switch all the time depending on a current focus…?
to encourage trade over “multiple bases for multiple goods”, maybe have a specialization in “management” that applies to all bases (similar to experts per base)?
Thanks for your suggestions. I put the first two up for discussion, but I’m not sure I understand the third. How, where and in which way would that specialization take effect?
Additional to those experts “per base” you have some “management”, that applies to your whole company.
First possibility: same mechanism as per base, you have max. 6 experts, they give similar additional bonus… (e.g. 5 experts for agri in your company, one base has also 5 agri experts, that gives +28.4% for global, +28.4% for local)
Second possibility: A little different, maybe more interesting (?): Lets say you have three (?) slots for “management experts” (not per base, but for your company). You could think of everything like them beeing for hire from market, having required “levels” (depending on your max. tier building), having daily costs (salary), giving unique bonuses ("+10% on FP-output", “+50% on EXT efficiency for ALO”,…), number and “strength” depending on the level? They could also “develop” and level up, if you fire them, they go to the market…
