: Double-Billing: ''Here's an unusual one I think was discussed some time ago. When transferring a ship to a new base - until the ship arrives, all other transfers that you make at this base will add the transfer fee (the amount adjusted depending on destination base) for the ship(or ships) onto all subsequent transfer fees! So even if you transfer no items and hit transfer anyway, the transfer fee for the ship will be deducted! Say you transfer a Skyranger, for something like $2000. Later in the day you decide to send 1 pistol clip as well. The pistol clip should cost something like $93 for transfer. But, curiously enough, the bill will be for $2093, and if you hit transfer, you'll actually pay another $2000! Even if you didn't transfer anything but hit the transfer button, you'd pay the $2000. So new rule of thumb: When transfering ships - do not transfer anything else from that base until all ship are delivered or else the couriers will add the shipping fees for all aircraft in transit to your delivery bill.

  • Manufacturing Profitability
  • Country Funding Somebody dig up Zombie's great stuff! -MikeTheRed
  • Buying/Selling/Transferring Is there a list of these prices anywhere? We should paste them into a page. Also, how quickly can one buy or transfer stuff; does everything take the same time? Finally, it would be great if we could make an "average loot haul" table for various UFO sizes. Or maybe give that a new page.
