[FL-621]X3:FL 1.1 [Bug] Universal Traders getting stuck trying to buy Turbo Booster Mk.1 - fixed in upcoming update 1.2

X3:FL 1.1 Steam English Unmodified

Once the Universal Trader Pilot reaches level 20 they dock at the nearest Military Outpost that sells turbo boosters and try to buy the Turbo Booster Mk.1. They fail in this action and get stuck idling in the Military Outpost.

First picture you can see lots of stuck UTs. Second picture one is selected and you can see it's current cmd is "Upgrading: Turbo Booster Mk1 -> Military Outpost..."

I don't think UTs should be trying to buy Turbos seeing as the AI can't use them, and I don't think every UT getting stuck when the pilot hits level 20 is intentional.

I have the same problem, 4/5 of my UT are doing nothing but trying to buy this equipment (they have the money to buy it). Is there a solution for the moment?

Buy it manually for them. In my case they are stuck at a valid station, so that makes it really easy - no need to change any command - just buy it.

I believe this should be fixed in 1.2
i loaded the save game and the UT bought the Turbo Booster fine and carried on with trading after

Also, they will only buy the Turbo Booster once they are level 20, and they have earned enough profit to cover its cost.
Ships with their attacked response set to flee or evade should use their turbo to escape danger in 1.2 (this includes UT's)

Could we not just block them from buying turboboosters? Seems a silly and wasteful expense for UTs and STs to buy something they can't ever actually use.

So in 1.2 they are actually able to use it.
