[2.1 Bug] Trading wares in certain order drains account to 0

[loubert]

I'm using my plot Taranis to buy wares to complete my plot station. It requires:

72 HIT/MA Turrets
30 Plasma Turrets
2 V Launchers

I have just over 11m credits, and the total cost for those parts is something like 7m. If I order my Taranis to buy those parts in the order that I listed them in, then as soon as I issue the order to buy the V Launchers, my credit account total becomes 0. However, if I order my Taranis to buy them in a different order, my account is not drained to 0.

It's not a matter of the prices changing mid-order - the process is bugged, as I reloaded and checked the numbers several times. The only time my account was not drained to 0 was when I changed the buy order.

If you need more information (like what station I'm buying the wares from (all from the same station)), let me know.

This has been going on for some time, it's worse if you are setting up mutliple buying runs with multiple ships.
Surprised it wasn't fixed in 2.1


I *think* it goes something like this:

Telling a ship to buy A then B then C, causes your account to be debited by:
cost of A,
then (A+B)
then (A+B+C)

so, if I'm right, buying the more expensive one first gives a higher 'current budget' for the ship & higher debit of your account.

Only way round it is to have oodles of credits in your account,
so you don't suddenly get zilched & can't buy that essential last trade .

Yeah, I'm seeing this one as well. You do get the difference back every time I think when the order is completed.

This should be fixed in an upcoming update.

Great!

Do you also have an estimate when we can expect the next beta patch?
