Posted this in the secret forum, but wanted to make sure everyone that plays sees it.
Had this idea kicking around for awhile, and got a few GOs to approve it.
Basically Im going to have a few gunshops devoted for guys to make their own Q1 guns. I'll keep these shops @ 1 or 2 people with 3 being the absolute max so the productivity is always high. You use
http://ideacode.pl/e-sim-calculator/to find out how much iron you'll need, buy it on your own dime, and donate it to me. Donate 1 CC *country currency* to me, apply to the jobs I'll have up, work and I'll send you the results minus a small amount of the guns. I'll basically just go with matching on the econ skill. So Econ skill of 7, means I'll donate all by 7 of the guns back.
To give you some numbers.
Econ 7. Requires 207 iron, results in 95 guns after paying me my fee.
You'd spend 1.66g on the iron, and get 95 guns, which at .032 would have cost you 3.04g. Basically you can get the guns at half the cost. You could easily find the iron cheaper as well, thus getting a even better return.
This idea is mainly for guys that want to stockpile items instead of currency, or guys that will use the weapons and have their food/gifts taken care of via bulk. While I wont say no to those that want to use this as a way to profit for themselves, you'll quickly devalue the guns if you only use 55 a day and sell the rest.
Let me know if you're interested in doing this. If enough interest is given, I'll start up the project. Until I get at least a few guys that want this option, I'll just keep it on the backburner.
