1.10 - Satellites are not updating station's details properly/at all

Post by panzernoob »

Hi all, might have a bug for you, but honestly I can't tell if I'm simply going insane or not.

Expected behaviour:
Satellites placed in range of discovered stations should show stock levels of all products (and other general information like shield strength and workforce) when viewing the 'right click > information' page on a station, as well as updating trade offers for your trade ships.

Actual behaviour:
Station info pages remain blank, with all details replaced with "???". Trade offers are sporadically updated, with some stations within range not being updated while others outside of satellite range updating prices as expected.
Ordering a ship to trade via right click brings up updated price information, but all other information is unknown *to the player*. Player AI controlled trade ships will still act upon this quasi-updated price list, even if the player cannot find out this information without docking personally.

Stations under *ship* radar coverage behave as expected, with stock levels (and general info) being updated, along with trade offers.
**EDIT** The above is incorrect. Stations under ship radar coverage are not updated as expected. **EDIT**

A possible side effect of this is stations that have been scanned by the player using Shift+2 update as expected, and will be updated as expected when under satellite coverage.

Reproduction:
1. plant a satellite in range of a station you've discovered, but not docked at or otherwise Shift+2 scanned.
2. right click the station, click "Information".
3. Information is unavailable, being replaced with "???" as if it were a totally unknown and unscanned station.

//

1. plant a satellite in range of a station you've discovered and Shift+2 scanned to a high percentage of its' "information" statistic.
2. Right click the station, click "Information".
3. Information updates and is filled in as expected.

Addendum:
Testing was done with advanced satellites only, issue most likely also affects regular satellites.
