The way it is mean 1 or 2 fams end up gaining control and shutting down everyone else's growth. Many fams suddenly end up with more cash then resources and are uncle to get more resources form the market to use up the resources.

True but cash is worthless if you don't have enough resources.

My point is thhat this happens every round, people need to be smarter and expect this ... Theres always EOR wars that screws up market.. that being said, i support a high market limit.

How do you plan for that? Start off the round with mostly resourcers hoping for the market? Smaller fams try to balance their income but at this point after getting farmed many times our resource income is lower then our cash income which means likely for the rest of the round we will not get full use of our money just like many other small fams.

No worry's, I'll just sell my 264 mill endu

yer the market block is kinda stupid and increasing max sell/buy im not sure is a good thing

That wasn't the complaint Noir. The problem was too much cash.

We just got out of a "war" where a fam over 2X our NW took 300-400 planets from us killing our resources income as well as cash. Our cash income is mostly back but now we cant make up our resources income because market is locked out. Not everyone gets the ability to plan for this situation, to most of the smaller fams the situation is dictated to them when someone decides to farm them and kills their income, now no more growth for the last few weeks of the round.

This can be solved by flooding the market in situations like this, or buying out the market when supply is too large and demand is less.

Manticore, buying from market is temporary solution. Dump your Iron at 50 and build a ton of mining facilities (as much your endo will allow). Then do the same for endu. Rinse and repeat. Yes, it sucks but its better than just sitting on cash doing nothing.

Cash or ass?
