Economy that is complex

Okay, time for a new tact.

Explain what these complex options exactly are.

What is the purpose of them?

What do they do?

What desirable features do they bring with them?

O splendour of my youth, can it be true
That all thy sweet and proudly passioned days
Are ended? On thy fair and fragrant ways
Now shadowy and vague, I can but view
The golds that once were greens changing to greys,
And all the mighty loves that once I knew
The magic castles towering in the blue
Now shrink and shake and shatter in the haze.

Nothing remains but memory. I plod
With sullen feed adown life's darkling maze.
On youth that is the grandest gift of God
I ever backward bend my wistful gaze;
While on my chastened brow runs 'Ichabod,'
Where I had hoped that men would wreathe the
bays.

Amazing. This thread has gone 3 pages with absolutely zero meaningful posts.

Do continue.

you're not helping, I tried some on page one but allow me to quote a meaningful post.

Nah, that's just confused. :mrgreen:

I did not like the econ system of Supcom 2, also I did not like Supcom 1's due to its complexity. I think that TA style will be enough for PA. I really hope the Uber can find better revision of TA style econ system though...

sup com uses exactly the same econ system as TA.

actually with one exception that makes it simpler, reclaiming is also streaming instead of in a chunk at the end so it fits in with the way everything else works.

sorry, 2 exceptions, they changed metal to mass.

supcom 2 added in research resource and had purchasing instead of streaming resources.

The OP's idea is good, but I have a better idea. What they should do is make the game as good as they can, and then once they've done that they should make it even better.

Naturally the economy should also be very good, and then this will be the best game ever.

I should get a job in game design.

I'm pretty sure they are making the economy simpler to understand and use, not more complex.

Let's recap this thread:
- OP with no info or actual suggestion
- Second post by timevans999 (4th in the thread) puts forward the actual suggestion, which is very vague and has been suggested and discussed in multiple other threads - "planet separate economy".
- Various people unable to understand what the actual suggestion is, as there is no details. Queue name-calling on both sides.

I suggest a mod lock this thread, as any discussion on planet-separate economies can go in an existing thread, and this is quickly leading to a flame war.

thems fightin words.

This!

NO POETRY ALLOWED ON FORUM! This isn't an art expo!

Please tell me you didn't ask that... Bragging about age is for the ***holes on Xbox live who have no intelligence.

If you have an actual idea then please explain it, if you are just going to keep asking people's ages then someone lock this thread now!!!
