General Discussion / Whats up with own colony products and trading amongst factions????????
« on: August 13, 2019, 09:30:15 AM »
Lets start with our own colony products. I cant use any of the products for free. It always charges me at the end of the month for using them. It charges me the average pricing of the products. I have over 3.7k of supplies, between 5k-10k of fuel, and other products over 2k. I cant use not one of them without being charged. I get charged more at my own colony than I do with other factions colonies. This is weird and F*cked up at the same time.
Now for trading between factions. I sat and watch trade convoys come and go at my colony and other faction colonies. I watched one convoy at my planet and hover the cursor over it. It said unloading food and supplies. Then I watched my faction trade convoy return while it says returning with organics and crabs. after it landed, I checked my colony inventory. Nothing changed. Same amount of everything. also, there's no crabs. I watched these things amongst other colonies too. I came to realize that the economy in this game is a joke. There isn't actual trading among colonies with trade convoys. They're just there for players to raid and actually acquire those resource through raiding. It also has a cause and effect. Ex.) "This planet will be affected if the convoy doesn't make it to its destination, even though they don't actually trade." Same goes for raiding colonies. When you raid them, you don't actually raid the resources in their inventory. Its just randomly generated by the percentage chance of acquiring anything profitable and lowers their stability. There is actually no type of economy in this game.
What's up with this?
