Build Mission Bug?: No Payment = cost massive to you

Post by Storm666 »

Just got a station build mission which didnt state a payment... it was for a Paranid Snail ranch M (about 300,000Cr).
Anyway i decided to try it and see what happens, after i built the station my personal account was down by 28 million!!!

Thanks for reporting this. If you happen to have a screenshot of the mission briefing window that would be useful.

Building missions suppose to pay a certain amount plus the costs for purchasing the station/fab.

Notes: the mission worked as normal, the sat was placed and accepted the station then a succesful notification given. just when i checked my account to see IF? i got any money for it.... it was down about 28 mil lol (my current build missions are paying anything between 20-190mil)... i just reloaded and ignored the mission afterwards

I notice the mission doesn't show any form of payment offer. Normaly they bother to tell you how many credits you'll get for finishing the mission both before and after accepting the build mission.

Could be a mision director oversight......or the NPCs have been schooled in the fine art of scaming. I've had a base defense mission once where the employer told me to "get lost" after I won it. Since it was paying 250k and the M8 pilot bailed this hardly mattered.

yeah thats the first thing i noticed... but decided to try it and see if i got any payment for it... but not only did it cost me the price of the station they also took about 28 mil from me!
ive done loads of these before and never seen this yet... at least its easy to spot in future

Thanks for the screenshot and the feedback. I've passed this on to the bugtracker forum.
