Subject: fig/sheild prices

ok - here's the deal. i looked back at 3 months worth of zoc logs and i have the fig price equation: 

price=(base+amp/2) + [ sin(day/period * 2*pi) * amp/2 ]

where:
base=160 (base price - lowest price)
amp=80 (base price + amp = 240 - max price is actually 239)
day=[day of year starting with jan 1]
period=87 (number of days in cycle)

so for today, day=103
price=(160+80/2) + [sin(103/87 * 2*pi) * 80/2] = 163 credits...

so call me a nerd <grin>

this is subject to revision... i still haven't figured it all out.
