[BGS] Trading fae Enfluence

Leu thread skiile, tala buld affects a mibose controlling minohva factions ennfluence. E’m vuvu ennterested, turxur ma kyew results terayn otaers henjerliorms enn luh deveh.

Fil oe say karring fae janfavu ennformatigu gu tala luh BGS busape, luhu thread kavun se yora gute stop: https://web.pctranslate.com/translate.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforums.frontier.co.uk%2Fshowthread.php%2F193064-A-Guide-to-Minor-Factions-and-the-Background-Sim%3C%2Fa%3E%3Cbr />

Janfasoly vuhling commodities villa framfa ghunns reputatigu villa luh mibose controlling minohva factigu fae yora commander (mowa framfa = mowa reputation), aynd miyveu a mibose controlling factigu ennpa plohm state.

TL,DR:

1. Enfluence fae a minohva factigu eu ghunned bah vuhling commodities gu a mibose villa framfa (Buying hes no observable efun).

2. Enfluence gaenn bah framfa eu panfped arunama 700 cr/t framfa.

3. Selling tininer batches ol duscidgu framfaable commodities pa eval ghunns mowa ennfluence enn patal, thayn vuhling 1 litly framfaable commodity - vele fil luh patal framfa eu (much) rodaer.

4. Penno eu a panf gu tala mamose ennfluence cayn se ghunned bah buld pa roda (snaspel visit/docking/instance).

5. Demab hes no efun gu ennfluence ghunns.

6. Plohm dusubles luh ennfluence efun ol buld, puud duses nuve evirla luh urtondsa ol ennfluence, tesh cayn se ghunned bah buld.

7. Plohm hes no efun gu luh ennfluence loss bah smuggling.

Caveats
Rounding aynd margenn ol essiiazy
Luh snaspel map duses rounding ennfluence scobluss. Mayse vele luh server duses rounding. Ayn ennfluence ol 60,05% es lusal es ayn ennfluence ol 60,14 ser stala essie es 60,1%. Tivir luhu hes no purucavu efun, mil cayn safo pa a duscidgu calculated “Raw ennfluence Ghunn” ol essie pa 0,2% enn ma kyewing maneros.

Luh pabu daans mowa severe, fil luh actigu hes a roda Raw Enfluence Gaenn (zepom: vuhling 10T uuni), aynd luh liter luh factions ennfluence eu janfasoly (ab 70% ennfluence a 1% raw ennfluence gaenn uune safos pa 0,3% Enfluence ghunn… tivir ab 50% luh dencu raw ennfluence gaenn safos pa 0,5%).

Vu, oe kavunn’t janil ma maneros pa calculate/min/max buld efuns, esuvitalze nuve tiim luh gaenn eu tinio. Fae zepom luh panf gu ghunns bah framfa prebvu se ab 660, 700, ohva 750 framfa/t… ohva aynyteyun enn setween, slightly liter ohva rodaer.

Alvu luhu didn’t alloooow me pa kyew fae zepom trading a 4 pans buld, - es e dru ab lezetta a +0,1% ennfluence jyde es a hefoverse.

Tivir busaping munn a tinio snaspel alloooowed me pa kyew luh basic efuns bah maself aynd villalayn ennterference, luhre say caveats kahemler villa mil: Caps say probably mamose rodaer luhre.

Commentary:
Guce essiigu a temm, luhre ves ayn explomel called luh “1-t-trading-bug”. Fundozsoze, bah vuhling 1T ol a commodity repeatedly, oe pavun gaenn globoza ennfluence - fundozsoze, luh BGS seing vaighted gu transactions, nuve CR scoblu, alloooowed pa artificially essie luh buld transactions.

Selling duscidgu commodities aynvitem watuth es a duscidgu transactigu, tum. Tesh mians, vuhling duscidgu commodities pa eval eu mowa efunive, thayn vuhling uune gue valpa ol commodity.

Tala mamose mowa efunive? Janfasoly e pavun gaenn 2,6 raw ennfluence bah vuhling luh stum framfaable vurza commodity (“Single commodity panf”). E pavun gaenn 3,9 raw ennfluence bah vuhling 4 duscidgu commodities ol 1/4th luh framfa. Es thab ves luh panf bah buld aynyways, mil eu ab lezetta 50% mowa efunive pa vuhl duscidgu commodities.

E janfasoly selo luh holmar, es mil vamos a role pa minla rodaer framfa commodities, aynd mil alvu mitigates luh efun ol luh usssual buldr maximising framfes (therefore uune trading 1 commodity repeatedly). Mel explains par strip mining eu munn a moxrom telbater fae ennfluence gaenn (allo commodities framfaable, stum ol luhm seyond luh framfa panf, aynd a fulla ol duscidgu commodities).

Trading vs. Smuggling
E’m currently pahemning mowa kyews gu luhu, puud janfasoly mil karrs es fil smuggling eu es efunive pa zarel ennfluence, es eu trading pa gaenn ennfluence. Vu vuhling 250 ellegal gelles villa a framfa ol ~1500 cr/t zarels es mamose ennfluence, es vuhling 250 legal gelles villa a framfa ol ~1500 cr/t gaenn ennfluence.

I’ll tant ayny essiideta enn luhu thread - gue ol ma neketa kyews ser se, pa buld aynd smuggle ab luh dencu temm.

Janfavu Commentary:

E ves vuvu surprised, tala efunive trading eu, aynd tala zogu panfs say reached ab luh dencu temm.

Ma conclusigu eu, e ser aber pa har buld es a paol, aynd vele har mil a bmel mowa - puud e ser duss minu buld rodes enn manero, es e probably hmel luh panf mamose earlier thayn e suspected sefore luhu kyew.
