So I brought Some commodities for 245000 and now I want to sell them for 285000 but my expected return says minus should it not be a profit ? I'm making 40000 a unit profit ? As I'm selling higher then I brought
Need help fleet carrier expected return
- Thread starter Alpha Prime
- Start date
I guess you could try buying one from the carrier and watch the numbers?
I have 10680 tons of platinum on board I brought for 245000 a ton I'm now parked in a system where they are buying for 300000 to I'm selling them for 285000 a ton that gives me a 40000 per ton profit and who ever buys and sells to station 10000 profit per ton my issue is my expected return says I'm minus 1.2b even tho I should be about 400m ISH in profit
If your ship sold them to the FC for 245 and then your ship buys them back at 285 then your ship loses 40 per T. The FC makes money, your ship doesn't. Could be that.
No I never sold them to the FC other players did I had I buy order for them now I full I'm trying to sell them but it's saying I'm making a loss when I should be in profit as I'm selling them for more then I brought

Dont worry, the expected return/profit value is bugged by numbers over ~2bil. For an accurate calculation you'll have to do the math yourself.
Ah that explains it then lol I have not done maths since school but when I worked it all out I new I was right and could not understand why it was saying I'm at a loss lol
Aah...
Out of interest, is your stock moving?
Yes to who ever is buying the highest at the time at the moment it's celeius park in LHS 2813 I try to make it so who ever is buying then selling at the station is always making a profit at the moment is just under 17k a ton

Its kinda funny to observe if you have enough of a commodity with sufficient value
and just increating the price by 1 tick
and it starts counting down

More excellent mathematics dearest frontier!!
Ps - glad it's all working op. If in doubt, you can always set it to nobody docking and buy one yourself. Just a tip

I suppose they could do better at gardening...but i have serious doubt over there too
One thing they excel at is "Mass Bug production"
