Ship Build Orders disappearing from build queue - no refund

Post by Endeavour79 »

Hi, noticed odd behavior in X4 ship building queues that has been there since a few releases and is still present today 1.60b3.
It results in potentially large amount of player money getting lost.

I started a new game and went to HOP Wharf. Ordered two ships, an M size miner and S size fighter, both fully loaded.
Wharf from the start didn't have enough material so ships got added to build queue, at position 3 and 4.
I also upgraded the player ship same time, meaning I was kinda stranded on the wharf.
As I couldn't do anything else, i just let the game run by itself for 15min and played around checking map view checking station details and building progress.

I noticed suddenly the two unbuilt ships in queue (yellow, waiting 2min) disappeared and the station started upgrading my ship and building the M class miner. I assume this is some sneaky automatic clean up script running in the background, to keep economy and ship building going.
Script or BUG, whatever it was, it also removed my S class fighter from the queue. Without refund. So I lost 5.5m instantly. This cant't be intended.

I have read similar posts here before but never had it been picked up or noticed by EGO devs.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start new game
2. Dock at a busy wharf with building queue
3. Order a few ships to be build (make sure station doesn't have enough resources at the start)
4. Order player ship to be upgraded
5. Wait and observe
