darn, that looks great

Yea, there's an element of supply management to the food market in particular. A ferret who dumped a crapload of food on the market all at once would crash the price. But if you dump the same amount in 5 shipments over 5 days, the price basically stays stable the whole time. OPEC but for food.

But yea, I'm the other one selling food, and people are buying it even at 19. Crazy.

Given the inability of the food market to get off the ground this set, I have tweaked it so that prices will not start to drop until at least 5 billion food are on the market. Price will always be above average as long as less than 5 billion food is present.

This will be a gradual change over the next two days or so as the market equilibrates.

Kind of clumsy, but let's see how it shapes up.

Seems like it might be overtuned?

There's a pretty big opening for someone to play my Ferret strategy from last round and forage their way to huge profits atm.

oh hi

You can't remove stuff from the market anymore. Instead you can sell directly to mercs.

That is a thing that exists I guess

Very strange. The change I made did not relate to that functionality. If you encounter the issue again please take a screenshot of the page with all your relevant stats and send it to me.

Works fine for me... try again and let me know if it's still an issue please

Yea, stuff got tweaked. 3.0 got removed. Game is pretty much just old reg code with a turn rate somewhere between reg and turbo.

Hi kell!

What's going on with you these days?

Yea, some of the flight instructors in ground school were very excited about ADS-B. Makes sense re NavCanada, I didn't know what it was until I started flight school.

Now if only the weather would cooperate so I can start logging hours. I have completed only the first practical flight lesson, since then I've had 3 weather cancellations in a row.

Yea, that happened early last set, too. Once there is a decent mass of food on the market it's OK, but you're right that if it is consistently getting bought out it's an issue.

I could set min values for the reference point, which would require that the market reach "critical mass" before prices could start to drop and adjust.

What flight training do you have?

Right now i'm just getting the basic ppl, but I do plan to go further. Certainly IFR, maybe commercial eventually. May look into buying a plane with a group once I have some more stability.

Oh you're an air traffic controller?

I'm working on my PPL right now, out of CYRO.

How common is it for a student pilot to blunder into controlled airspace without realizing it? If they do, are you allowed to screw with them a little bit before you send them on their way?
