Hi, can anyone point me to a good description of this on the boards or elsewhere? The in-game information is leaving me unsure of exactly what the process is, and I haven't been able to find anything. If there's nothing out there then maybe someone could help with a few questions?
I understand to some degree from the buying side, basically buying a license is 1 use, buying a tech is many.
I don't really think I've understood the mechanics behind it though, which seem to be more important as a seller. As a buyer there are many offers so if I'm not overly concerned about price I can purchase what I need using the non-competitive offer. As a seller it appears to be competitive by definition. (Am I right in thinking that when someone buys a tech or license their offer is matched against the most competitive seller? If so, does that mean as a seller you are matching the lowest price on the market).
Also as far as technology sale goes, does this mean I'm selling any right to use that particular technology myself? If so, if I sell a mid level technology does that affect my ability to continue that line of research, or do I need to go back and repeat research of the sold tech?
Finally the Techno-mania tender description isn't clear to me....
The winner is a company which would earn the maximum amount of money if every update (3 updates in total) a hypothetical state research institute ordered the whole range of contest technologies (apart from the last three levels known on the realm) of the total cost which would not exceed 1 billion (per day), for the prices of technologies fixed during these updates. Technologies of level 2 and higher are accounted
Can anyone confirm what this actually means. I'm assuming the winner is the company who would have achieved the highest revenue from sales of the specified technology from level 2 to (max - 3) if there was a guaranteed buyer over the final 3 days of the tender?
Thanks again for your help!
