A few things about the tank... a 150mm Gun alone costs near 500,000, but if you want to lose money on a tank, thats up to you. The real problem I noticed was a tank with a 1,750hp engine going 75mph. The tank, in order to mount a 150mm gun must be pretty damn heavy. Ergo... its not going anywhere at any 75mph... even on road. The tank is very cheap, much too cheap, especially if you planned on making money off of it. This go's the same for the ICBM... an ICBM costs millions, ten million per missile would not be over doing it. At the price now, id say you're losing several million dollars on each missile sold... as you simply cant make one for the price youre selling at. Just my 2 cents.

OOC: Yeah, well, you're giving away 2 cents for free! So... that's a loss! Of two cents! You're gonna go broke!

How come wherever I post people correct me? And why do you think you need to correct me? Its not like its hurting you, and you can just ignore this thread. And you can't tell me how much my weapons cost, you seem to be telling me that I can only manufacture things for a certain price and sell them for a certain price. And I dont really care how much these sell for, as its not like if I spend lots on the forums my economy will go down on NationStates.net. It seems as if the forums has a group of arrogant people who fell the need to correct other people who wish to sell.

Yes, that is one of the main problems with this forum.


Your nation is getting rid of these weapons, so of course you can sell them for a small price. You will still be making a tiny profit, compared with the costs you would have to pay to junk them.

(It seems as if we have a large group of people on the forums that are so incredibly head strong, they will never listen to the least bit of advice. Instead of rambling on about how you dont care and it 'doesnt concern me', mabey try to improve the RP by taking a bit of advice. Confusing arrogance with a persons desire to help is really somthing you should work on.)

Several reasons.

First, to help you improve, of course. You should be grateful.

Second, because if you're selling weapons that they consider godmoddish, you could conceivably sell them to someone who would end up RPing with them, which might turn a perfectly good RP into a godmoddy flamefest.

Third: Nothing better to do.
