All missle corps are goin bust now because of the solid missle fuel, can't the GM give us 24 Hours to build the flippin corps, + put on the surplus/shortage how much the GMs puttin in to stabalize it.
Prity simple idea to stop all thease Corps goin bust:
Chemical Missiles, Conventional Missiles, Cruise Missiles Ship Based, Land Based Cruise, Nuclear Missiles ,Nuclear Submarine Missiles, Tactical Nuclear Weapons, thats the best part of 1000 corps on LU, i don't know about other worlds.
On LU theres a 66,918,583 shortage, with companys making 1.8M a year. 37 companys need a year to shift this lot if nobody else buys it, which they have to. thier currently 0 corps, but im building as many as i can, 3. |

yeah WTF.
50000hlw per corp. its already hard enough to keep those guys up jeez 8( |
| Daelin (Little Upsilon) | Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - 06:37 pm
Yep. 50k HLW AND 1,200 HTEx! Given that I own 10% of all the affected corps on LU myself, this sucks. I'm sure I can think of the others that are also majorly affected, similarly. A little time to prepare would have been appreciated. |

im guessin the worker numbers are supposed to reflect the fact that this is realy stuff for more experianced players and ment to reduce the number of countrys who can affored the worker numbers?
those asaide i can expect big losses for lots of players, again they will be the more experianced ones because newbies can't make nucs, also the price of cruse+conventional missles will go up like a rocket :D (sorry guys worlds worst joke) The only up side is long range wars might be slowed, but alot of people who need missles can just take them from thier massive stock in thier CEO. |

Add also the effectivity upgrades, and it's easily 60 000 HLW. |

i also could not contract SOLID MISSILE FUEL to my countries, only to other corp's.... |
| Daelin (Little Upsilon) | Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - 11:14 pm
With Efficiency of 200, the Solid Fuel Corp goes to 54k HLW's, and 1,500 HTEx. |

No bankrupt corporations and the market is already stabilizing.
This went smoother than in many cases in the past when we introduced new products.
These are large corporations and require high level workers. don't start building them unless you know how to improve your education and produce these numbers you need.
The Solid Missile Fuel corporations can however become very profitable when quality and production are pushed to the limit.
Currently, countries and enterprises cannot purchase or contract the product.
we will add this capability next week.
More corporations producing other types of missiles will switch to Solid Fuel in the coming weeks and cargo shuttles will use the new fuel in large quantities. |

I noticed most of my missile corps this morning went from a 0% production to suddenly having 13 months of supply of Solid Missile Fuel so the GM pumped a bunch into the system (probably directly to the affected corps), which gave a lot of breathing room to work through this. Thanks! |

They didn't get the fuel to one of my corps, a conventional missle corp. It lost a month's production. Still better than feared. I started building a corp--Won't I be able to sell or contract the product I don't need? |
| Tom Willard (Little Upsilon) | Thursday, November 12, 2009 - 08:19 am
We never mix with corporations. there are 430.000 of them.
we also intervene in the market only when there is a major problem which does not happen very frequently.
In case of a new product, we do intervene and add product to the market so that normal trading can function and corporations are able to purchase what they need.
we may do it again today.
In the mean time, it seems that this type of corporations are popping up in all the worlds and the market will be on its own shortly. |
| Tom Willard (Little Upsilon) | Thursday, November 12, 2009 - 08:27 am
No reason for more interventions as the market is stabilized and will probably show oversupply in the short term because all the missile corporations now have, or will very shortly have, a stock of Solid Missile Fuel.
Next week, one more missile type will switch to the new Fuel and the process will continue for some time. |

Lol I wish the new corp used oil since it's a fuel corp. Oh well... |
| White Darkness (Little Upsilon) | Sunday, November 15, 2009 - 12:38 am
Well they sort of do by proxy due to the mass of chemicals they use. So each one is straining the chemical market and each extra corp there pushes the oil market in turn. It works out. |

I only built 2 of these to begin with until the hint of stability creeps in, and I like the idea of solid fuel in the game. I did, however, build a bunch of chemical corps (which are doing wonderfully.)
But enough already with the huge infusions of product by the GM. Since the introduction of Solid Fuel, my 2 companies have only sold $14M of product for a total cost $127M. Product offered but not sold, 1.6M units in 2 corps with a total production of 300,000 units a month.
On LU we have right now we have 70 corps producing about 10M units a month with total demand of 4.2M and the GM keeps dumping millions on us.
Please slow down and give us a smaller stimulus. Please. |
