    The unique thing about the economy in Face of Mankind is that there are no NPCs which you can buy things from.  Everything revolves around the players making the armour/ammunition/medical equipment/whatever.  Players make and decide how much they sell it for and where.

    A player run economy.

    The economy in this game is 98% player crafted. There are a few exceptions to the player crafted issue: clones, medical terminals, apartments, vortex (travel) tickets and starting clothes/equipment. This means that all the armor, weapons, medical supplies, and misc (clothes etc) are made by the players.

    This is also a zero sum game. All the money/colonies are already in the game... and for someone to gain, someone else has to lose. This means that no matter how good you/your faction is, you have to be better than others to get ahead.

    There are some 'imperfections' in the economy. The first is that some items do not wear out. Guns, implants, and clothes do not wear out, or need replacement. This is scheduled to be changed, and this will prevent those parts of the economy from stagnating. The next problem is that resources are not limited. You can mine 1000 of x mineral, and the price does not increase (to reflect supply and demand). This means that there is no inflation, and that there is no change in cost over time. The last major problem with the economy is that the minerals, and formula to make items has not been properly balanced. There are some minerals that are not used for anything, and others that are used for just about everything. This might be resolved once they finish the large expansion under development.

    If you have specific questions about the economy please feel free to ask, myself, and others will answer them if we can.
