Each cycle is 60 seconds long (1 minute). 1950 Credits total per cycle between both of them.
That's 975 Credits per cycle on each station. I buy them for a maximum of 13 credit per E-Cell. The math checks out to about 93,000 Credits per Hour.īoth Stations use 75 E-Cells per cycle to make their product. In my current run I have a single Cahoona Factory L with it's own Wheat Farm L growing it's own Delaxian Wheat. I don't really bother with Roguey's sales per hour values.įor example, the page for a Cahoona Bakery L lists the average as -42,600 credits per hour. As such you should be able to sell the tractor beam to most docks using the exploit you suggested. I am not sure where you got the idea that all docks stock the tractor beam either in fact an article [on the egosoft wiki (created by a DrSuperEvil to ironicaly) seems to suggest that there are very few places that stock the tractor beam (I have found one in zyath's stand in addition to the ones listed on that page but I'm willing to chalk that up to the GoD engine doing really weird stuff in my game). I do not know who is right (both? neither?) but either way demand doesnt really factor in if you are selling to a dock that doesnt stock the item. Im not a numbers guy so trying to figure the calculations out myself makes my head spin. Hmm roguey lists different profit per hour: They also need higher race rank to buy the stations.
Most other weapon factories make a lot less per hour at 90-125k per hour for the same resource inputs. Dragonfly missile factories also pay for themselves in under 8 hours compared to the 3+ days needed for the top profit weapon factories. The highest profit weapon factories are Tractor Beam, ISR, PSG and M/AML factories making 132k, 130k, 129k and 128k per hour however tractor beams are traded at all docks making the universe wide demand very low while missiles can easily be sold locally. Shadow missiles make more at 142k while Mosquito, Aurora and Firefly make less at 80k, 111k and 64k per hour respectively. Originally posted by DrSuperEvil:The average missile factory makes 131k profit per hour (assuming average resource prices).
