Please fix the economy

[Lucinator]

Please revert the economy or better yet properly fix it.  As it stands right now the game is borderline unplayable.  I should not be able to by 1905 and playing as the USA be only able to afford to maintain 4bbs 4ca and 8 CL.  Thats silly low given ive put all my focus on the economy.

Do you have a screenshot to show what is the economy condition of the other nations? The USA have the strongest economy and most players can have a very large GDP with this nation. The game though is very dynamic and can be very punishing to whichever nation overspends or does not have generally a success in managing the fleet and the financial growth.

I would like to point out that most of the ships being built are CL's and im still -30mil in the red on budget.  And this is while prioritizing the economy.  Its kinds silly and not really fun from a gameplay standpoint.  By this point even historically I should be able to field 16 small BB's not to mention the cruisers, and destroyers.

How expensive are your ships though?
Also note that your GDP is growing by +17% annually, which is great. Your budget will encrease noticably each month because of it (and as such your deficit should decrease).

Have a good portion of your fleet in port and set to "Limited" until you're well in the green.

yea exept it took 15 years to get to that point, from a gameplay perspective you should not have to wait that long and still be able to field only 4 small battleships (15k tons) a handful of cruisers and destroyers.  And the USA has the best economy so its gonna be worse on most other nations.

Okay, different question but also economy related. Is anyone else having the issue that once you've reached 200% transport capacity once, and it then goes down again due to transport losses you are only able to get about 0.30% per month on full boost?

Its cost also increases like crazy too. It gets prohibitive pretty quickly.
