Stock Market - Market Shares ! ! ! Why not??

[betheone1984]

What if in the game (Single/Multi) was a Stock Market?
I watch a stream from Europe Server 1 from a guy who have over 12 mil Euros for spending but where??And i see so many Truck Companies and Product Companies.I believe it will be great to be a Stock Market.So this player can spend money to invest on buying shares of Truck Companies or Product Companies.
For example let's say that there is Stock of Aluminium at 10 euros and there are no Truck Company that transporting Aluminium for days the Price will start to Flactuate and in time dept will drop.
So the Aluminium Stock price will fall for example at 8 euros.Then the Leader from a Truck Company give a mission to his team to invest and buy Shares of Aluminium and everyone start to transporting Aluminium.The price will start to Rise again and will go to 12 euros for example then the Truck team will sell the Shares and earn extra Cash.
The same can be also for Truck Companies.For example there is Truck Company team of 5 ppl and they are active very active and their Stock is at 40 euros and keep rising slowly.Players invest in that Truck Company beacuse they are Reliable.After 1 or 2 weeks this 5 ppl team start to be inactive log less (or have to bad drivers /ctashing around/Passing the Red Lights/doing bad things only) etc etc.Then the price will start to fall and will hardly to start rise again.
Call me Crazy but i like the idea and i hope to see a DLC it will be fan.

What you're suggesting is adding a completely different type of game. If you want to play a stock market sim I'm sure there's at least one out there.

A stock market would add yet another dimension to this great title. +1 for the idea mate.

I see a lot of threads like this, where people seem to want to add things that aren't related to the core point of this game. It's a truck driving simulator, and I'm sure people will be saying "I paid for it, I can play it how I want" and that's absolutely fine, but you have to play the game that's available. If you seriously want SCS to add stock markets to ETS2, then put it to them, but how does stock markets relate to the realism (or however close you can call this game to realism) of a truck driving sim?

Do most truck drivers get over a Million Dollars? No but since we're a CEO of our Truck Driving Companies, I only think it's fair we should be able to invest into other companies or deliever stuff that may rise or fall due to the economy. This would be some intersting gameplay and would have you hooked longer on ETS2 than otherwise.

Another thing is that, with these Markets, each game will be different as your company will never ever end out as the same because of the Stock Market. Therefore, ETS2 wouldn't have a stagnant economy and a much more intersting one. Let's say if you're in Greece (TSM) and were having a big Inflation like Greece, then you would see that so again, more intersting gameplay so in my honest opinion, I support this idea.

I understand your points mate, but look at it this way. AT a certain point it merges the sim with management simulation. Thats when the stock market would come into play. Just like real life imo.

Sounds like a great idea. Anything that gives more depth to the game is welcome. :)
Also keep in mind that stuff like a Stock Market would require minimal graphic changes, just some basic interface.

At some point money is easy to make and there isn't much to spend it on, with a "chaotic" Stock market, you could even loose fortunes! :D it would be fun.

Now, something tells me that the devs won't implement something like this, because they are so busy with map DLC's and other games.

But if any Dev reads this thread, i sure hope they get inspiration to make the economy play greater role and make the game feel even more immersive than it already is.

I'de also like stuff like possibility to buy property (houses and stuff) and ability to romance female truck drivers :D (Krisztina <3) and they could send you love e-mails and stuff haha :D and if you had a date with your love (maybe at your place,or at a restaurant/gas station), as you arrived there (at a certain time, like a mission), you would see her Truck parked there :D And would get XP :D

Yea, I would like to own a home. There's a mod for that but you can only sleep at the house and not do anything else. Also, some Romance would be nice but then again, that's getting into another game as you're getting into Euro Family Simulator 2.

What the? Dating your AI work colleagues? Seriously? That's what this game needs?

Eh, I hear ya. This is a trucking sim, not The Sims Trucking... it would seem people bought the former on a whim while looking for the latter.

Well, if SCS runs out of ideas once they finish the map, they could add this in,

Why? What does dating your AI co-workers bring to this game? And SCS won't ever run out of ideas.

AGreed mate. Judging by the development pace, they are unlikely to run out indeed...

It might require a minimal change to the interface but it'd require a massive change to the engine.

Well, I know this isn't Dating Truck Sim 2 but in-case if they ever do but I'm guessing they still have allot of ideas but the Stock Market idea was cool.

Speculating on commodities is a novel idea, I'll grant you that. But again you're right back to the fact that this is a driving sim, with a very basic business management sim solely there to support it. Purchasing shares in rivals I'd still forgo altogether.

If the dev's all collectively bumped their heads one morning, and did decide to venture in this direction, I would rather see the option to buyout individual depots as opposed to owning 2% in stock.

I'd like to be able to fix my truck at my own garages.
