An issue that I'm seeing is that low-valued companies (usually AI) which have the max loan and then get sold to competitors which have the max loan for $2 are basically free companies. The other company cannot acquire the additional debt (they are already at the max loan) and so they get free trucks/trains/tracks/etc. Can this be modified so that either:

  1. Company cannot buy another if they can't afford to take on the debt
  2. Max loan can be made fluid so that in purchasing another company you can go above the max loan

Details and screenshots at http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=37379, screenshots also attached. This issue affects both AI and human players, indicating it is a bug in the company acquisition code and not specific to the AI. The issue does not appear when buying a company out through stocks, only when prompted to buy a company after two quarters of negative dollar amounts.

The code explicitly specifies the behaviour you are referring to.
It's not a bug at all.
That is why i've changed the status to feature request. Becasue that's only what it is. Wanting the system to behave in a more "REALISTIC" way.

Jean-Francois,

Thanks for clearing that up, I had originally posted in the forums as a feature request because that's what I thought but was referred here.

andythenorth closed the ticket.

Reason for closing: Won't implement

There is enough complexity in acquiring companies. Adding more is not a current goal for OpenTTD, thanks.

Flyspray clean up: more than 5 years old, and not obvious what should be done with this next, so closing. If this offends, discuss with andythenorth in irc. Thanks.
