Re: [INFO] To all people reading that economy is fake - it's not

... There is system which decides what has to be produced, when and what is in too small numbers. Then game checks where to produce it. And when there is no station to produce it because it was destroyed faction manager makes plans for building station or invasion if it lost territory. I still didn...

Probably will, if it is like the other games. In Rebirth it made a -big- difference.

And the other things mentioned, although I have not heard about a bug there, yet.

Prices

Also note that the prices go up and down with supplies at the station, of ten more than the percentages. Look for stations with lots of what you want to buy, or not much of what you want to sell. These conditions tend to be common in some areas, so note where it was for later. The sectors are in a b...

Egosoft knows about dynamic economy systems, they had them in the previous games. But they also had the associaled problems, like "death spirals" in the economy. This is what is called "cellular automata", but more complicated than most played with by the scientists. They are agonizingly complex and...

Last I checked, fighters assigned to escort other ships had a "hack" to sort-of-keep up. They do a "micro-jump" every now and then. They still lag some but not too bad. But I have not looked closely for a while, maybe it is changed again. I have fighters assigned to stations and military cap ships. ...

Like they said... You can get a new freighter and send it to get stuff in Albion, as long as you are not on it or too nearby. Give it some fighter drones, they decoy away enemy fighters so that the freighter can escape. If you did not get any trade agents in Albion before you got thrown out, then yo...

Ezarkal is right, things can take a while. Playing these games is about multi-tasking, go do something else for a while. And, if you walk away for a while the game will keep playing without you! 8-) It is part of having a "live" universe, NPCs actually need to go places and find out things. Prices n...

Prices are based on how much they have in stock and on what they have to pay for the resources needed. You can buy the stock and sell it far away, but some of those stations have big storage areas. You can buy up the resource materials so they can't get any, and sell it far away. Or like he said, if...

Note that the encyclopedia mentioned here, is a different file from the encyclopedia inside the XR game, which is only about the one game.

The other one is in the extra stuff in the package with the music and stuff, I think, and on the Egosoft site.

Found weapon modifications can be anything. Some were made by crazy pirates that didn't know squat, and they don't work at all!

Be careful what you install. Some are best disassembled and used to make a different one.

I certainly would not put it past the Devs to have other ratings matter. But I think they would still trade some, just not get the best deals. It sounds like something else is wrong. I have noticed that it takes more time for station trader ships to start selling, than buying. And I could be wrong, ...

I don't know about that scene with the woman. But the story is, that the Sohen (a client machine race from long ago) are re-connecting the gates slowly. They are trying to prevent genocide, either of us (Argon/Terran) or the Xenon. But with both in sometimes the same system, it is tricky. And someti...
