Crafty | Friday, January 11, 2013 - 01:49 pm I dont think of myself as a total econ numbnuts but I would like to know if anyone can make their Advanced Quality and Effectivity upgrade corps pay reasonably. Of the few I haven't yet closed, I only get about a billion or two profit a year. These are state corps, normal 250Q ish, 250 - 300 salaries, sell best price. Dont know if they work any better as private. Ideas, methods on a postcard please. |
SweetPea | Friday, January 11, 2013 - 01:55 pm They used to be cash cows, but no, they suck nowadays. It is very possible they will settle back to good profit. once the gms are done adjusting workers and production numbers. But they surely don't perform like they used to. If it isn't losing cash, I wouldn't close it. |
Crafty | Friday, January 11, 2013 - 02:37 pm Yeah, I just dont like seeing those workers earning me only 1B a year when they could be earning me that a month... Is there anywhere that shows these products base price? I would like to be able to know if the market price is much above or below base. They've been in demand for a while now so I presume the market price is well above base, yet they still earn poorly. Maybe a low Q or lower production would help, they dont have a particularly high supply cost though... I dunno. Any more thoughts oh wise ones of SC? |
Aries | Friday, January 11, 2013 - 02:47 pm I have 3 Adv E and 2 Adv Q as private. Similar results of 1B to 3B tops per year profit with slightly higher salaries and qua ranging from 281-306. |
SweetPea | Friday, January 11, 2013 - 03:07 pm I thought base price was on the product in stock purchase page. I'll check. No, it isn't. I also checked the market utilization page and it isn't there either. I think we can petition Andy to place a column for base prices on the market utilization page or add a line on the page that comes up when you click on the product link that shows price, demand, supply, and number of corps producing the product. I'd actually like it placed there for ease of access. |
