The immediate orders feature will be updated on July 1.
The change was announced several weeks ago.
The reason for this change is mainly, that immediate orders as they are implemented, are not always immediate, resulting in confusion, but even worse, many who are unable to move on for lack of products.
Starting July 1, immediate orders will be delivered immediately.
There are several conditions attached:
1. The cost of immediate orders is 40% above market. Quality price hike applies as with any other order. (Immediate orders are more expensive in the current system as well).
2. Immediate orders reduce the total spending space of the country more severely. It means that if you decide to place many immediate orders, the spending space will decline more quickly and the number of products that can be ordered within the spending space will be smaller. Placing standard orders (not immediate) will allow you more spending space.
Example: If a fighter plane sells for 200M on the market, the price for an immediate order will be 280M while the military spending space will decline by 1000M.
This is done to prevent very large orders. Immediate orders should be used in case a shortage is very damaging for you but quantities should not be large. It is a quick solution in an emergency or when there is a damaging shortage, not a new way to order products. |

When trying to convert a regular order into an immediate one, The spending space may not be sufficient.
In such cases, such a conversion to immediate order is not possible.
however, it is possible to cancel the order and place a new one, smaller, and make it immediate.
Corporations that do not produce at 100% capacity due to lack of raw materials, can be put to work by converting their orders into immediate ones.
The corporation may then have all the materials it needs and can return to full production but the cost of the raw materials will end up higher and can result in cash shortage in the corporation and a need for loans.
it is also possible to help the corporation by placing a small immediate order for the missing product, making sure the corporation can return to full production while waiting for the regular product order to be delivered. |

Can free players make immediate orders because I just found out after acquiring 2 Amu corps that I cannot supply them because I can't buy strategic bombers |

ha ha ha ha I LOVE it....thewhy :P |

Strategic bombers are nuclear weapons and are reserved for full members.
Also, the corporations that need these bombers are high-tech corporations that require game level 4. This too is reserved for full members. |

well you can easily get around the game level requirement by asking a CEO nicely to build in your country the corp you want and then nationalizing it i have done it frequently guess i didnt count on myself not supposed to be having these corps in the first place |

In the next update is there a chance of getting a small thing changed on CEO.
There used to be the rule that CEO's needed 60B in a corp in order for them to transfer cash out. This rule was in effect back when CEO made 50B a year or so. This Current limit is very high. Is there any possibility of them GM lowering this from 60B to 40B?
Also when will we be seeing this feature effect state corpertions. |

Yes, it makes sense.
I will have it changed. Numbers are much smaller now.
In fact, we will look into these limitations as they may become obsolete. |

I was doing some warring to test weapons and noticed war level 9 only makes 8T now is this is mistake or did the GM lower profits on c3 warring |

Well agabbywon, to be so gabby I haven't seen you gab in a loooooooooooooooooong time. lol Good to see you posting on the forum. Come see us in chat, Mark! |

I see similar as Super. Getting 5.4T from war level 6 C3s. I approve of this change, however, if it is intended. |
| SuperSoldierRCP | Friday, July 5, 2013 - 07:05 pm
I dont mind the the change
BUT
id like to be notified about it. My only ptoblem is that you get less then 10T for war level 11 and near 9 for war level 10, those incomes are NOTHING compared to what you spend. In the upper war levels you have to fight 60inters, 20helis, garrisons, 30+stealth bombers(and they double attack so not one but 2 counter attacks) and teh Q for those is near or @ 500.
A Quility which cannot be bought by players but requires a wait period of prep and upgrades. I dont mind the lowering of income but it doesnt help the higher war levels. Thats why ive fight to ask them to increase it.
700B = 45,000 Anti Air missiles
45000 is around whats needed to clear out the helis, you need 300Q meaning i spend 2.1T on just anti air ammo.
1/4 of my profit is just anti air ammo, i still have other weapons and ammo. Like i said i dont mind the decease the GM will do as they will
BUT I REALLY HOPE, they look into the Q of C3 fighting levels or atleast give the upper war levels an income boost |

My question is, if you complete the calculations for your costs and then compare the time invested in raiding to the benefits you still receive, what other game activity competes with raiding income? |
