The mission text isnt so much the amount is its just all a big wall, all other mmos have nicely formated and sectioned quest/mission descriptions with good use of font sizes, bold, color and arrangement.

I can write up a more detailed guide if you guys want, but its pretty simply.

I'll give you the workflow for the girder line:
1)Extract metals
2)Use "Steel Foundry" to convert Metals to Steel Girders
3)Optional: Upgrade Steel Girders to Titanium Reinforced Girders or higher
4)Sell Girders to ai bases in wild space

There are some intricacies with different ai base types consuming different genres of commods in different amounts (matching their graphic) but the core system is pretty straightforward.

I can write up a more detailed guide if you guys want, but its pretty simple.

How many metals would a normal AI base consume in 24 hours? Is the decay rate based on the incoming metals? Or is it a flat amount per hour? How much credits is normal for just metals?

Our average galaxies last few unis have had 300m+ mets per day, taking only the loads sources into account. My personal best was 800m a day last uni from 1 galaxy. 150m mets a day is nothing.

Thats 150m mets for just the Girders. By upgrading to the Titanium Reinforced Girders it'll eat up another 150m mets worth, Laconia Reinforced Girders will soak up another 150m mets worth, and Adamantium Reinforced Girders eat up another 150m mets worth.

Additionally, you'll be able to extract more than just metals for profit, so it would be a good idea to extract commods depending on the nearby ai bases.

Higher tiers will have different profit margins due to the additional commods that have a player-market value attached to them, but that is part of the "easy to get into, but higher skill cap" vs extension Ys that we wanted.

And in the end, if the numbers don't work out, we will be monitoring them and tweak them.

Four months late, but better than nothing.

So here's my understanding:

AI bases always buy the tier 0 commods, as in they show up in the trade bays.

The only one of those 7 commods that actually decays is the set that the ai base rolled.

So if my base buys the higher tier Steel Girders, only the Steel Girders will ever be consumed, and the other 6 tier 0 commods will just fill up to the first cap and never decay.

End understanding.

Why the fuck do they buy the other 6 tier 0's at all? Why not just buy the theme that the ai base rolled and get rid of the others? Seems entirely pointless lol.

Protip: Just join Traders pre-patch to learn about upcoming changes that your director made, and how to best deploy your team to reap the benefits at uni reset.

Don't forget to then call everyone else salty because they aren't pro like you.
