I wonder what voodoo equation Frontier uses to make these changes. Too bad galactic averages weren't driven by a proper economic simulator. Still, even arbitrary changes makes the markets feel a bit more 'lively".

schmu666 · Jun 30, 2020

Does this actually affect NPC prices?
edit: ah u kinda answered, so it's just a tool for people to gauge the actual prices

From what I understand by this comment from frontier:

Bruce Garrido said:
It's the galactic average rather than individual station prices that's being updated. The prices themselves won't change, rather the mean is being re-calculated to better represent the current state.

Frontier looked at the prices of commodities across all stations in the game, calculated the average of all of them, and set that as the new FIXED "galactic average" for everything. Which I guess kinda makes sense?

Galactic Average price has significant impact on mission rewards.

I'm really surprised / dismayed that this isn't scripted as part of the daily tick...

so the only worthable paladium trading missions wich are good money are now less money, thank got the broke the carrier jumps and faild to fix the reset exploit

If they did that, then they'll have had some very unusual weighting on them.

By and large I think they've mostly just gone for "about halfway between state None buy price and state None sell price", which given what the average is used for is probably reasonable.

Old Duck said:

It'd mostly not change all that much. There are ~80,000 stations, most of them have markets, the overall patterns of BGS state frequency are fairly stable. It'd be a lot of effort for a number which fluctuated a few credits either way.

So long as they remember to update the average when they change the market properties of a good, it's fine.

I'm pretty sure my Raspberry Pi could average these numbers in 1/10 of a second. It's not like these computations are done by hand

Oh no, FDev what have you done? You messed with Painite. No no no, not the painite. What am I to do!!!.

Seriously though, thanks for the chart. I just have to figure how to use it.

I'm pretty sure my Raspberry Pi could average these numbers in 1/10 of a second. It's not like these computations are done by hand

I'm sure it could.

Still not worth doing the calculation for a fluctuation that would generally be <1% of the value, though.

Even the majority of today's updates - some of which are correcting for changes in actual prices which happened over two years ago - are pretty small and unlikely to have any meaningful effect on gameplay. No-one mentioned that - ever since the start of the Enclave Initiative about a year ago - the galactic average for meta-alloys was about 50% of what it should have been. And that's one of the biggest corrections made in the patch in both absolute and percentage terms.

On that scale the gameplay value of having the average price of Geological Equipment go in a ~10 credit range would be basically nothing.
