AP- one last complex for Terrans.
Posted: Thu, 14. Nov 19, 01:06
With the anniversary of X4 coming up soon I figured I'd give AP one more run before jumping ship and realised I should at least try to grapple with one last obstacle, namely the Terran economy.
I'm planning on building a water complex in Asteroid Belt with the huge (133!) ice asteroid at its heart and so far have matched the asteroid's output with the capacity of the water purification plants. I'm using Paranid factories for the food & crystals so their supplies are separate.
The tricky part is that if I only produced water I wouldn't be taking full advantage of the resources that sector has to offer with the availability of both Silicon and Ore so I'm a bit stuck as to what else to produce. I already produce Terran ship guns, missiles & warheads elsewhere so I've got that covered so I'm left with the following choices for products:
Terran MRE/Protein Paste
C-Ration/Carbo Cake
Flavour Pack
Vita Kai
Keris Drone
EMP Rifle
Hull Plating
Matter/Antimatter Mine
There does seem to be some demand for the four food items, just not on the same scale as water. I've no idea if there's need for Keris drones, those need silicon if I'm going to make them.
This leaves the following ore-dependent wares: hull plating, rifles and antimatter mines. Is there the demand for the weaponry or should I focus entirely on the hull?
