does having a high - profit/loss turn (without goods) - a good thing or a bad thing? e.g. profit /loss turn (without goods) - 30k while profit/loss turn (with goods) - 50k? what is a good indication? |

99+ day(s) ago | may i just say depending on what race you are - and what type of economy having a negative income might not necessarily be a bad thing, for example, i have played as collective for about 6 months and my income have never been positive
but that is only as i make enough food, which is then sold on, that my overall income per turn would be positive when you factor in the price of food. Everything depends on how you make your money - only tax and commercial empires should really worry about that page |

99+ day(s) ago | Sir , if I may;
When you check your INCOME , you`ll see two large boxes INCOME and EXPENSES . The bottom line in the INCOME box is your total credit ( what your empire makes in one turn ) and the bottom line in the EXPENSES box is your total debit ( what it cost to run your empire and keep your fleet in space ) . The last two lines tells your if you are making credits or losing credits . A positive number in both lines is good. A negative number in the top one means you are headed for trouble , look at your planets and fleet to see what can be done to reduce the bottom line in the EXPENSES box. ( i.e. supporting too many ships for your income , caviar taste on a bean income ) A negative number in BOTH Profit / Loss per turn lines means you are in trouble. Stop using turns until you can figure out what is causing your budget to go due north .
CORRECT me if I am wrong: Over-population without supporting commerce , too large a fleet are some reasons. |

99+ day(s) ago | profit/loss without goods is just your straight income, its how much you make off taxes/comm
profit/loss with goods that income plus the money you make from selling consumer to your population
you buy cg`s off the market for 4 each, and you automatically sell them to your population for 5 each
the larger your population is, the larger the difference between the two numbers there will be (profit with and without goods) |
