4.85 Economy Bug Reports

[Xoria]

The routes going into Alaska are designed for use by LN / LSF authorized transports and prison liners. Haven't we just heard for months about how anyone else going into Alaska is oorp and deserves to die? I fail to see any point in creating an incentive for people to do things that apparently nobody should be doing. I also cannot conceive of what other than prisoners would be "produced" at the Alaska prison stations. Toxic Waste from Juneau will always sell better at Dortmund because Dortmund is closer than LD14 (if I remember correctly when I tried to set that up before, there was some reason I couldn't make TW work), and apart from scrap metal, there isn't much that a shipyard can produce logically, especially if you don't want people trading in the system to begin with.
As for Ellesmere, you designed the commodity system there yourself, and I even added some things to it on top of that.
So whats there are the most logical things I have come up with, based on nobody else going there and the system being locked down and off limits. Trading out of a maximum security area doesn't make much sense to me.

Also, adding to the fuel thingy....

H-Fuel is imported by Bretonia, in spite of her ships apparently using MOX.

Isehara Terraforming Outpost's infocard reports that it uses prisoners on the plutonium mines in Isehara... but it doesn't import prisoners.

The only places that import Blood Diamonds cost effectively are Liberty and Gallia. Perhaps the price could be boosted a bit in Bretonia as well, considering that the distance there is only slightly smaller than to Liberty but the prices are much lower than that.

Falkland seems very unbalanced with the latest update. Considering it's supposed to be a major IMG station and all, the best it can do is recirculate imported mining machinery?

Arranmore apparently produces pharmaceuticals...

Commodity Name : Quantum Multiplexors + Ship Hull Panels
Starting Location : Belfast Production Facility
Ending Location : Shinjuku Station
Description of bug : A two way route, rather than a circuit, which I think is what we're trying to avoid? Not sure exactly how much but unless FL Companion is lying again, it should be somewhere around 250/s.

Ship hull panels require 2 cargo slots, so that is only half as profitable as you think it is. No problems there.

Have you ever gone to the grocery store dairy aisle and asked the stockboy where they keep the cows? They don't have any cows at the grocery store, but they still sell milk. Its called retail sales.

If it was retail, they wouldn't sell it by the ton. They'd sell it by the jar, after paying to have it imported. Have you ever gone into a drug store looking for painkillers and asked to buy seventy crates of the stuff for personal use? No, you haven't. It's called retail sales.

Where do they import it from in order to sell it?

From Junkers in Trafalgar and from IMG on Battleship Hood.

Though depends on the price, I suppose. If the price is very low you can make an assumption that Pharmaceuticals are produced there. If its somewhat average compared to bases around it seems fair enough.
