Yeah, dumped electric power into the supply about the time it was turning a decent profit and stabilizing supply. Dern it. |

Yes the supply fairy is pumping very large quantities of electric power (among many other things) on the market on almost all planets I play. It is really ashamed that almost all player corps are being virtually destroyed by these interventions. Price has not rocketed out of control like oil. So again this move seems stupid, unnecessary and interferes with normal game-play.
Somebody find me a gun to shoot the supply fairy Lol! |

Come on Inanna this is just untrue and causes confusion.
interventions destroying?
we do intervene when supplies are completely drying up and we occasionally add a small percentage of the shortage. This is how this function works.
so if there is a shortage of 10.000.000.000 in services and we add 1.500.000.000, how can it destroy anyone.
we have never added any quantity that even resembled the shortage.
Currently, we are taking out of the market (buying) small quantities of weapons and ammunition according to that same principle. we purchase a small percentage of the surplus.
At the same time, on some of the worlds, there are very large shortages that can cause many corporations to stop production for lack of materials. we have added small quantities of some of these materials and reduced, over time, the shortage from something like 20B to 12B.
This is bad enough but not disastrous for very large products.
not more and not less.
C3s are now more active in closing bad corporations and they replace them by corporations where there are shortages. We are measuring this increased flexibility and will remove ourselves from the market shortly, when it starts to stabilize. |
