The wiki says:
ZitatBest-Vendor
..... The amount of points also relates to the price the products are sold at.
Basis of calculation (norm sales price * amount sold) – (norm. sales price * amount produced)
How does the score depend on the actual price the goods are sold at? In the formula only the normal sale price is included.
I don't think the sale price of an item has anything to do with vendor score or manufacturing score. As far as I can tell, they are calculated from normal price. So, I suspect it's a case where the wiki is not as clear as it could be.
The statement about the sale price is also in the manual, not only on the wiki.
So, can someone shed some light.
I did an experiment last round.
The vendor score seems to be based upon the nominal selling price.
You can get this price from the SUDE listing.
I could not figure out the manufacturer scoring.
Why does selling 97 Tricycles results in Manufacturing score "-15" and Vendor score "+39".
The tricycles are bought from the market (NOT manufactured).
According to the formula in the manual the result should be totaly different.
You sold 97 tricycles.
You manufactured no tricycles.
Suppose the vendor score values a tricycle at 0.4031.
You would then score (97-0)*0.4031 = 39.1 vendor points.
Suppose the manufacture score values a tricycle at 0.155 points.
You would then score (0-97)*0.155 = -15.0 manufacture points.
Unfortunately, I do not know how to calculate what the vendor or manufacture points are for a product.
Last round, the vendor points seemed to be the average selling price of a product at QL0.
I could never figure out what the manufacture points are based on. However I do know that products that are not sold still get you manufacture points without affecting the vendor score.
