in Face of Mankind

Ok, so I'm trying to make money in FoM. Missions are totally not the right option,, for my faction barely has any let alone ones accepting, so could you guys give me some pointers on making me financially secure?::::37::

    Even if  I pick the class combatant, can I still do mining for money later on?

    ^^ I answered your question in a previous topic Befallen

    As to making money the best way is to produce en masse, meaning your going to need to make some money from missions first. Production is EXTREMELY complex in this game, and a _really_ nice tool to help you can be found here:
    http://vi.servegame.org/production-manager.html

    I reccomend you start as a combatant and start doing defense missions..... It goes without saying that joining a corporation will help a lot with making money, my personal choice would be Vortex inc for a new player.

    Awesome, thank you for the help and speedy reply.

    in FoM my whole time has been spent making money, this topic is a few months old but meh....

    anyway, what you have to do starting out is figure out WHAT you want to do, do you want to fight? then making money through missions is your best bet.

    do you want to be all economics? well then start out by getting an older player to teach you how it works, i have done this numerous times, and now the people are richer than me!

    Thats what i love soo much about this game, you can play it wihtout ever having to kill someone, just doing what you want "make loads of money" and RP.

    As the faction leader GM of Vortex Inc. I support this

    However the "production manager" tool is being used as an IC motive for VI to be the beneficiary of certain deals. For this reason it's password protected unless your faction has done something to encourage VI to give you the pass.

    Contrary to popular belief VI is a trader corporation. We have, after all, done more faction contracts then any other corporation.

    If your looking to join an active, helpful and fun corporation come join us. We probably have the most active high ranks in the game.
  • GoldenKillerGoldenKiller Member Posts: 26
    lies lion, CMG is the true production corporation, thats why we just beat you out for the FDC contract with lowest prices
  • JonasJonnJonasJonn Member Posts: 8
    You both wrong...

    CMG = Mining
    Eurocore = Production
    Vortex Inc = ???Reparing vortex gates perhaps, but its not production or mining since they have less disscount then the others.

    Btw Eurocore are the biggest and the best corp.

    in size it goes

    VI=biggest

    EC= medium

    CMG= Smallest

    in faction funds it goes

    CMG= 518 millions

    EC= 512 millions

    VI= 489 millions

    discounts are:

    - Faction discounts:
    Mining: CMG and EC receive a 5% discount
    Production: CMG and EC receive a 5% discount
    Chemicallab: BoS receives a 5% discount
    Transport: VTX and CMG receive a 5% discount
    PMODs: CMG and EC receive a 5% discount
    Vortex Tickets: CMG receives a 5% discount, VTX receives a 10% discount
    - Profession/Rank discounts:
    Mining: Traders R1->10% R2->15% R3 and higher->20%
    Production: Traders R1->10% R2->15% R3 and higher->20%
    Chemicallab: Traders R1->10% R2->15% R3 and higher->20%
    Transport: Traders R1->10% R2->15% R3 and higher->20%
    PMODs: Traders R1->5% R2->7.5% R3 and higher->10%

    this shows that CMG, overall, can produce anything cheaper than a VI or EC, so CMG = mining and production :)

  • JonasJonnJonasJonn Member Posts: 8
    You're almost right, only that EC is closer to 517 mil now and that we actully are much bigger then VI atm.

    And you're forgetting the disscount you get if youre faction owns the colony you have to mine and produce on.
  • GoldenKillerGoldenKiller Member Posts: 26
    i purposely didnt psot them, because at the rate that colonies change....also, everyone gets that, its not a specific thing and those are my last stats i have looked at and gained, its only 5%, of course because of your war, your taxes range from -5% to +7%
  • JonasJonnJonasJonn Member Posts: 8
    True, but thats only if youre stupied enought to mine while you're colony is occupied by the enemy and no EC do do that.
    That must be a CMG trait ;P
  • GoldenKillerGoldenKiller Member Posts: 26
    i was not saying you do do it, but just demonstrating how the taxes can be influenced, i dont mine on my enemies colonies... havent mined on keplers or TV1 since retail.

    Sigh... please try to keep it civil here. You are scaring the kids.

    Lion, I 'believe' that CMG may have you on the number and size of FACTION contracts, however there is a good chance that VI may have had us on personal contracts when you posted that (since then several people have joined the CMG that do many personal contracts... no need to name names, we all know who they are).

    The CMG has the best bonus' for mining/production. The EC second best. The VI third. However this may change (as not all the faction bonus' are in play). The EC has the best colonies (at the time of this post).

    The reality is that both players and corps (not necessarily clans or gd) seek to make a living in this game. This means that just as individuals need to do contracts, and make a living, the factions need to do the same. Some individuals are out for personal wealth, other are out to be part of a wealthy faction.

    The only way to get RICH is to make someone else POOR (be it a faction or player). The money in this game just circulates out of various pools... and eventually someone will decide that they dont have thier fair share... and that is when this game gets interesting.

    So... a better goal is to always be 'wealthy' but never be 'rich'... because when someone comes looking for what they feel should be theirs... if you have too much, you are the likely target.
