help me fix my economy
When I first saw Serenity on my telescope, all I could think about is what a perfect place it would be to build a habitat complex! It would be carefully planned out and almost fully self-sufficent only needing the occasional delivery of Methane, and all I would have to do is hold control of The Spire and I would be able to constantly upgrade the complex and everything would be happy forever

So far my super money farm has made me a grand total of 381 credits.

Now I am stuck in a lopsided galaxy where the corporation ranked below me has 870,000 credits in bank (yes, bank credits and not overall worth), the #2 corporate has only 10,000 credits despite controlling the Night's Home shipyard, half the companies have only ten thousand credits in bank despite net worths of millions of credits, and the other half literally have a million credits laying around to spend on nothing. Meanwhile worldwide production on everything except plastic exceeds worldwide usage by pretty large margins and the pirates have the largest fighting force having successfully defeated everyone else and taught me hard lessons about fleet composition and repair costs


My assets are currently as follows:
A worthless, self-suffient habitat complex in Serenity
Literally one single credit due to both the habitat and the pirate attacks
A research station on pause at First Light
A hydrogen pump and a water mine that I fought hard to keep so they can continue to produce me goods that will never get sold
5 battered Phalanx fighters and a mothballed dragon
Two atlas (atlasus?), one partly filled with fuel and tools without anyone to sell too
A sphinx and two omens, which I am strongly considering scrapping for credits and i dunno maybe sell the resouces from scrapping to the Boneyard shipyard or something

what do how do i fix this

Hi Aleccia ! Could you email us your save file at contact@helium-rain.com ? The save file should be in C:\Users<your-user-name>\AppData\Local\HeliumRain\Saved\SaveGames\, it should be named SaveSlotX.json.gz. We'd like to look into this to see what happened.

I've heard one way is to trade nad be nice with pirates so when you get the point of being noticed they don't attack you.

And I won't of been able to capture a rather profitable habitat from the pirates in Blue Heart if it was not for the latest skirmish. Time to build more Orcas I think

Can also do the transport and VIP missions to get some spare cash to get things back in order of cash drops low.

(Of course, considering your state of the game, I think you know more than me at this point.)
