No more Sedatives at any station for me

[DollopOfCrazy]

For the last day and a half I've check at every station I've discovered at least once and there have been no sedatives on offer. The likelihood was at least one is three stations before, but not a one lately.

Anyone else seeing this?

Yes. Suddenly sedatives are no more.

It could be an economy thing. If the game really has an economy going then it makes sense that if we keep buying this stuff its going to get less and less? But that doesn`t explain why bandages, etc are still abundant.

I think it`s a way to limit it since it was a bit of cheat don`t you think?

A real economy, or even a logically implemented fake economy works the opposite of what you just said.

If people keep buying up A, B, C in a real economy, the makers are delighted and produce even more - higher demand incentivizes suppliers to increase production, not decrease it.

High demand does of course suppress current available inventory - e.g. someone buys up all the currently available sedatives - but in a real economy that would then spur even greater production of sedatives if it kept being bought up.

Here's what I think it is. I think EgoSoft stopped the crafting of Med Kits by completely removing one of the three ingredients until they can think of a better way to nerf them.
