Production for profit
talon:
while most of us may know the x-com tactic of producing lots of lazer weapons for a vast profit= cheat
Is there anything in ufo Ai particually at the start and early stages that actually gives you a decent profit
I'd rather not have my engineers doing nothing, sitting around watching mythbusters
BTAxis:
No, you can't produce anything and sell it for a profit.

What I did first thing was fire all of my workers despite having two workshops. That saves a bundle of money on the first end of month when you don't have to pay their salaries. I only hired workers after I had researched nanocomposite armor, which was two months later (was doing alien armor, then nanocomposites, with a few scientists stuck on continuous wave laser). If you research electromagnetic rifle first, you can set them building those, or if you go laser weapon route, DF cartridges before you have anything more useful to build.
Most reliable source of income is selling ufos to the highest bidder who has the lowest happiness score (since selling ufos increases that). If you play very hard campaign, you will have no shortage of ufos to sell, but you do need to keep an eye on what you spend money on and how much.
WhiteFang:
And Why is producing for profit cheating? ??? How else are to make money?
Sell off UFO stuff, yes, but why not stuff you make your self.
I think of it like the MIB they held a paten of velcro.
You are a global force that in almost completely independent.
Many armies of the world sell off surplus equipment to the public.
If it is put in that you can't make some kind of profit from selling surplus equipment
then I think there need to be something additional to help make money.
Like bonus money for civilians saved or aliens killed.
You have to keep some money some specially if countries are not happy with you.
