As of now, they will continue to supply engines until the heat death of the universe. However, I would not be opposed to a potential cut off. A L30 can create 10 accounts, make them customers, make his engine $1M a race, and casually pocket quite a lot of money. Potentially, if a manager hasn't logged in for X days, they don't get supplied?
A possible solution for this is to make engine contracts like sponsor contracts. They require a renewal. Otherwise, they just run out. I'm curious to see what other managers think about this.
Contract renewal would make sense. However, supplying engines isn’t profitable. In my experience you makes losses each week regardless of selling at £500k or £1m. What needs to be included is some form of economies of scale - a fixed cost to build your own engine and then each a reducing cost (never goes below say 100 or 200k) for each engine customer supplied. This would enable the manufacturer to make a small profit in some cases or at the very least reduce their own engine costs. As for someone constructing engines for their other accounts I think this is fine so long as they are active and not farming (I also assume that iGP’s surveillance for farming accounts would pick this up anyway?), both my accounts are inactive atm, as I’m on a break, so no engines are being supplied.
This is exactly how it works right now.
The cost of producing your own engine is a fix 750k.
If you sell your engine at 500k, of that sum 100k is profit, so if you have 8 customers, you’re making profit
(Number of customers times 100k)-750k is the cost of your engine for manufacturing team IF sold at 500k
If you sell at 1m, profit per client is 200k
