So, on White Giant very few products are in demand. I'm wondering if this is also going on in other worlds.
Possible causes: Production changes in corporations and players buying and selling large quantities through space travel.
Is there anything that we, as players can do to solve this? |

Nope....the markets will have to work themselves out. |

They work themselves out by alterations in supply and demand. That is what I am asking about. |

I have noticed the same on Kebir blue, the markets havent been well in a long time. |

I'm torn between reducing supply of products which are in oversupply and producing more which is in demand. The products which are in demand though tend to be in product groups which normally go through big swings.
As for space trade, is it better to really aim for an integrated interplanetary economy? This could take a while. |

They have to work themselves out is right. They are the weirdest I have ever seen on the planet I play. it not just on planets. they will correct, but it is a time game for that.
Honestly, craig I think your can you help it out, well I think its the opposite here... Some are making it that way. All players can trade and ship things freely if they are a premium with many planets and empires/ents, so its fair game to manipulate that market to the good or to the bad.
What you get when you do what you say, is a bunch of uncoordinated moves that lead to a change to make the market way worse and might make it not auto correct as in the past. Of course the Game Master changes the corp structures too and some might have just found out they have 300 GY of built up supplies: point it can be from intent or non-intent, but the more that mess it up or make it better, will be like winning the lottery. It might help or make it way worse.
Look at the economic bust in the real world. some made it bad by doing something and some nothing. Some made it good by doing nothing and some by doing something.
also, it does not hurt to close a corp before it really gets over supplied. you get the cash bro. it goes to debt and you get another problem. closing for new players is not recommended in a short term surplus, but a 10 - 20 gy surplus without the GM changing the corp setups may need to be closed.
Craig, I am losing money, don't care. I am riding it out. I close the least I can, my bet for some corps is they will survive the games auto correction features and other less prepared corps in other c3s, empires, and ents.
here's my question, it is Intentional, a economic war, or is it the GameMaster changes to corps... or a bunch of people just playing and not realizing we are doing the same thing 30 others are doing at the same time?
like that for example: forgot GM changed the amounts used per mo, and them corps and countries over buy a lot. low on funds, oh, I got a 1,000 years of construction, might as well get rid of that and make my cash go up... times 50 = MESS. lol
The market will get better. It is looking better in some areas more and more already. |

How many are you looking to buy? I have a very limited quantity on White Giant and Fearless Blue. |

the market is great for my economy... plenty of demand for potatoes |
| johndoe677 | Saturday, April 5, 2014 - 05:03 pm
Germania and by extension WG will become the capital of potato production |
