SQUASH Mine Factory - Problem (X3)

Post by Uzi77 » Mon, 6. Feb 06, 15:52

I now have a self-sustaining SQUASH Mine Factory in Farhams Legend. However, unlike my Weed Factory it does not 'Sell Itself' even though I have dropped the price to 10,000Cr (Avg. 10,108Cr). There is a Pirate Base in Atreus' Cloud (next sector) which is buying them for the maxium price of 13,000+ Cr.
Heres the dilema, I've dropped my weed price to 2,900Cr (Avg. 2,912Cr)
and that is selling stupidly fast, even though all the pirate bases on this side of the Universe are full and won't buy any more. But my SQUASH Mines are not selling, although all the pirate bases have none in stock.
Why?

How long has it been there?
And have you set the sell to other races.

Well, its been up and running a while, 5-10 game hours maybe.
And, yes, other races can trade with it, I've checked that multiple times.

I'd give it another few game hours before you get miffed with it proper. If they are coming from the other side of the universe, traders might take a while to reach them.

Why not set a ship to sell (Maybe a fast M4 or M3)?

Ah, fighters selling... mmm.... yeh, might try that. Is there an M4 that can carry L containers?

Only m3's can carry large cargo.

Boron and paranid m3 ships are M and all the rest are L

Considering that i would go with a TP class, maybe the Iguana Vanguard. as its 186 speed with 517 cargo.

check the ships stats yourself.

i believe there is only one iguana vanguard in teh universe - it is free. However, you can't buy from shipyards. Only the hermes (ordinary and hauler) and the manta (hauler only) can carry L sized cargo
