Paris Motor Show 2016 [Automation Edition]

Oh well. It seems I should twice my markups on Zavirs :smile: Good thing that I’ve set it correctly on Niddhogg :slight_smile:

Speaking of which
 #RagnarokinParis - soon
 Maybe even I’ll try some photoshopping (or rather gimping) :slight_smile:

@strop - Yeah, there were some surely-not-Aussie guys seen around Hypera’s HQ :wink:

Is it? See, that’s the thing, there isn’t enough information to support either of our claims. When the market system was introduced, I remember that 0% would be a sort of breakeven point, they even added the factory size for us to get a clearer picture, now with the campaign, that’s gone.

One thing is for sure, “every possible other cost” isn’t supposed to be added to the price that is on the market tab, it would be valid if you were adding on top of the material and production costs, however.

When he mentioned cheaper cars, I immediately presumed we’d be getting on the range of at least a porsche, who have the highest profit margins of a normal maker, at 18% over investment.

You won’t see us, but we see you. We have eyes where you won’t even look :sunglasses:

Have you played light campaign? Because there it is quite clear that price with 0% markup is the cost of producing the car - and only producing, without costs of designing and engineering it and retooling or building factories.

I have and it isn’t. 0% markup gets, for example, all the overhead costs included, making you statement of “every possible other cost” wrong. Now, as to being profitable and what would be a breakeven point, all I can say is that a lot of guides still aren’t implemented and everything is a bit all over the place.

Well, yes, not every possible cost, that was an exaggeration. But I wouldn’t say that 0% markup is breakeven point.

depends on the market. cheaper car market have as low as 20% markup.
the more premium cars can to up to 70-80%.

but the Ciant Klass has 50% and still be on that price

the lowlis has 25%

and the Triba
 well i didn’t put a price tag on that one. but it can be up to 300% and still be super competitive on the right market

In the campaign mode, markup is highly variable and there’s no one value that should be used. It’s entirely dependent on supply and demand. For example, I had a premium car selling as low as 10% markup because I built it in a large factory and that was the only way to sell off all my cars. And even with that low a markup, I was still making something like $100M/month if I remember correctly.

In sandbox mode, I just follow the markups used by the competitor cars, to make things as fair as possible. So base trims are 20%, premium trims are 40%, and sport trims are 30%.

On the campaign, yes, I agree.

However that’s what was told when the markets were introduced, 0% would mean break even and anything above that would signify profits. That explains people’s tendencies to use realistic profit margins, but which considering the game’s weirdness means we end up with underpriced cars.

@DeusExMackia yes something I discovered myself when I tried to post the Varg, you can’t hide images.

@ramthecowy Bit of a nuisance isn’t it


@Rk38 Love that teaser. Thought it was just one car after the Sachiuri faded to black, BUT NO, along comes an Axuras!

Prepare for a CMT surprise tomorrow evening. :slight_smile:

As CMT was losing market volume in the 2000s, we became a choice for enthusiasts but were still offering workaday vehicles. We will be presenting our new RS models but also the one or other facelift. Our cars may not be the best, but neither they are bad and you choose a brand with great history and a good image.

It was not largely announced that we come to Paris, but that was a quick last minute descision.

CMT. For those who know what they want.

Sorry, had no time for this yet. I hope it is not too late.
