Ship trading to sell for 0cr and how to avoid it

[jojorne]

anyone know how to avoid it? if remove and add back to squad it loses cargo...

man, i'm getting frustrated!

This, this is popping enough times in several threads now, by my experience, I really lost the money and the cargo, I know because I put all my money into the trade. It really is a show stopper if you do have 500k as seed money for trade, and then, it all gets lost in limbo.

thats random(losing money or wares when trading) and independent from that message.
message is showing fully inadequate infromation - better to watch you account and accounts for every captain of trade vessels.
(if managers becomes working normally - there will be no overhead - they have separate accounts)



losing may be triggered by entering or leaving zone where and when wares exchange is proceeding, adding trader to group when wares exchange proceeding, ordering that trader new task(when wares exch...)

Ye surprise trading is still bugged . Happened to me also.

[Spikeles]

Same thing happening to me!

Sold the wares (I think, it no longer has them listed as cargo), but I also didn't receive any credits for the sale.

Thank god for quicksave.

It's funny you know. When I get the "0cr" message I usually actually get the right amount for the trade. However, just now, I was selling 41 million cr worth of Reinforced Metal Plating - the trade and value confirmed in the ship Captains orders - and I got...10 million. The message said 10 million too. I admit, I edited my saved game just now to fix that as that was over 60% of my funds riding on ONE trade.

So, both the reported sale value and the actual sale value can be bugged. Often I'd have missed this message, but in this case I was specifically waiting on this trade.

I noticed the ship trading for 0 credits when I am dock at a station. I avoid this by not docking at any stations when my trading ship still have planned trips.

In addition, after initiating a sale and remove the trading ship from squad, the trading ship will complete the trade but generating 0 credit (not 100% on this but I have experienced it).

[jojorne]

is frustrating because if you did not save before each sale you could end up losing all your money

now my way to avoid is saving often or using the command RELOADMD or REFRESHMD when i see the ship stuck or too far away from the station. suddenly is starts to move. idk maybe it's just coincidence.

I noticed the ship trading for 0 credits when I am dock at a station.

well i noticed that when i sent my taranis take me somewhere my freighter stood for a few minutes after arriving at his destination. need to confirm about the 0cr but i think so cuz at that time i also sold by 0cr.

i also noticed that the money that shows in my report is not the amount of money i have nor addition of my sale. i have 1.758.652 and it shows me as 3.254.632! note that my selling was only 500k so no way i could have all that

i need to look if it is showing on the report my total money that i got so far playing.

being in same zone as ship when exchange is ending (time to pay) may helps.
