There is a huge amount of trickle down from colo whores. Much more than you think.

You seem to be suggesting that the reason a given commod has dropped in market price is that it's not being demanded by colony builders. It could just as easily be a problem of overabundance and insufficient item sinks.

I'm asking this question to get a better understanding of the ingame economy. What are you guys spending your money on, be it from players or blueprints or whatever. If you're not willing to share, thats fine. But what types of things are you looking to buy, what are things you are looking to acquire? This question came up because I was talking to some friends about the state of the economy and how prices for things have just tanked in the past few unis.

Well EE's shop in FM is the main source for Blizz. And it's buying quite a lot of shit. Think about it. You can't exactly supply that many terraforming projects with just your own extractors. And the augs/ada sheets for kits will have to come from somewhere. If they don't do their own lockouts or have enough to sustain themselves, gotta buy it from the rest of the playerbase. There is a huge amount of trickle down from colo whores. Much more than you think.

My question is, what are they buying?

You seem to be suggesting that the reason a given commod has dropped in market price is that it's not being demanded by colony builders. It could just as easily be a problem of overabundance and insufficient item sinks.

Just asking what people are buying, insufficient sinks is something I talk about all the time so I'm very much aware of that possibility.

In this case obviously the player base is not growing fast enough to keep consuming these ships at the original rate. There may be a few new players filtering through the ranks but it's nothing like the days when relatively few endgame players had gotten HMs and Prawns. I see nothing wrong with this. Lion commods were worth 100b+ at one time. I don't see anyone complaining that Lions are easier to obtain now and that the commods regularly sell for as low as 5b. Nor should that be taken as evidence that the economy is weak. In fact, declining prices on goods is not unambiguous evidence for a failing economy, either. Why do you consider it a problem in this case?

A lot of the newer bp's have high build costs. Colony builders buy a lot of terraforming commods. The market sucks because it has been flooded with items due to the broken FC's being able to solo much of the content now. Also places like The Maus have gotten easier and the drop rates on the Art bp's have seemed to be doubled or tripled the past 2 years.

I'm not asking about why people think the economy is the way it is, I'm asking colony builders what they're buying. Can we please stay on topic? I know I went off topic a little bit, but that's the past...
