The Economy's Fucked. Let's figure out why.
Created by: DrCelt
Why the economy is fucked.
- If we take the balance of payments, it's atrocious; due to two things
- Lots of expenditure, (in numerous avenues), but mostly cargo.
- Barely any income, only via mining, which does not get distributed.
- Culture. - It's not within the culture of the station to pay for things other than as a gimmick.
- Is it because the system is obnoxious as fuck to use?
- this'll probably be the hardest one to change
- Currency has literally no value.
- Not backed by anything (fiat)
- Possible to print unlimited money
How can we fix it?
- Make shit easier to use
- Make departments compete as to who has the most money?
- Add money systems to player-stocked vending machines?
- Remove the way to print unlimited money please
- Make cargo change on points again so as to reduce the outflow of station cash out of the economy?
- Make vending machines money go to cargo's account?
How can we not fix it?
- Don't import the system goon has where they pay every X minutes or whatever, this'll just lead to inflation and doesn't fix the problem at all
Please comment as to your opinion on this issue as to what the problems are, how we can fix it and ways not to fix it.
