Hi friends!
I'm unsure whether or not this is a bug, so I'm posting in the general forum. I used the local autotrade behavior in Eighteen Billion as I noticed the Ministry Wharf and Shipyards weren't being supplied, and I wanted to increase my reputation with them. I had a courier handy so I set it up as a local autotrader trading in Advanced Electronics. The trader, however, never managed to move any goods.

No relevant global orders apply. Manual trades go through, no problem. They will also sell if I manually buy. I posted on reddit, seeking advice, and there wasn't a clear consensus on why the trader wasn't trading. Three plausible explanations: pilot skill is too low to make use of the low margin trade; the station that sells them has too low volume to be seen as profitable; the buy price is above average, so the pilot ignores the trade.
I'd appreciate confirmation on any of these hypotheses and an explanation of the relevant mechanic if it isn't a bug. My current workaround, as someone suggested, is through repeat orders, which has been working fine!
Bug? Intended Behavior? "No trades found in allowed sectors"

Re: Bug? Intended Behavior? "No trades found in allowed sectors"
It could be an issue with whatever blacklists you've set up, but that's just a wild guess as it's impossible to see from your screenshots. People would have a much better chance of being able to tell you what the problem was if you uploaded a savegame.
Re: Bug? Intended Behavior? "No trades found in allowed sectors"
Oh! Sorry! I'd mentioned there were no relevant global orders; I didn't think someone would want to go through the trouble of going through a save. He doesn't have any individual orders, and the only global order is to avoid xenon sectors.
Here's the save, and the ship in question is the Tentative Friend.
EDIT: He'd had the orders for about five hours, in this save, I think, and the one sale in the log was manual.
Thanks!
