Yes, it's normal.
eg. "Stiletto I" is the one in your hangar (with all it's weapons etc.), so it can't be on the market.

I did not mean it
I'm talking about the number of things available for purchase
the items are available for purchase in big amounts (100)
and have price equally produce on base. no reason to produce this items

That is also intended. Production is for UFO disassembly and items you can NOT buy on the market.

I dont understand what u mean
You mean the sale of 100 items is normal?

When I talked about disassembly alien spacecraft
I meant that in the production on based, as in 2.4, no reason, becouse there (in 2.5) are many things for sale in the amount of 100 pieces, and costs of production

(Sorry for my english)

The 100 items on market is the new standard in 2.5

why?? its stupid
becouse it is a game moment
had an interest in the production, transportation of arms with an initial base for other new base
Now everyone just bought
What is the standard - it saddened me, it was my favorite gameplay - the distribution and production of things

propose to revise the point - many things are not balanced with each other that they would stand in equal amounts
You can increase the initial amount of things for sale, compared with 2.4
And to reduce the time for the production of weapons, ammunition (but not for equipment, etc.)

You need to realise that the items that are at a market stock of 100 are readily availiable mass produced human items. There should NOT be a global shortage of basic items like assualt rifles and fragmentation grenades at game start - that would be immersion breaking.

Yes, u right
But, why all items by 100 ?
I suggest change number items to sale to different values

Ok, to what number, and why?
It hard question. I newbie in game, and i think i cant give impersonal opinion
I think good resolve be use random and depending on the location (and, obviously, different things in different amounts - depending on the usefulness)
for example (nmb to sell)
  • primary
assault rifle 4-6
assault rifle magazine 20-40
sniper rifle 3-4
sniper rifle magazine 16-20
riot shotgun 2-3
saboted slugs 8-12
flechette shells 8-10
  • misc
medikit 3-4
IR goggles 2-3
frag grenade 3-5
flashbang 2-3
smoke grenade 1-2
  • armour
combat armour 3-4

and price twice more then manufacture
also it can differ by difficulty (on easy - more items for sale, on hard - less)

manufacture to beat in terms of what the world was not enough weapons, and that would take time to get it right (ie, not manufacture as literally, it mean - search for weapons required in world)
it also allows you to add weapons to the store for sale (by twice price)
such a request was made for 3 rifles, found 5 - 2 rifles fall into the shop

1. You can always change these values in base/ufos/equipment.ufo and make it a mod.

2. With a little more experience you'll find that it's much easier to make money by selling downed ufos.

Hmm, you would prefer "infinite" count for mundane items?
