Player shipyard/ wharf no ship trader on board

[baldurhop]

Hi all,

While playing around in 2.0 beta I built my first wharf and had no issues. Now I built a new ship factory in argon prime and have a shipyard and about 3 wharfs for now, but it says that there is no ship trader on board. Didnt have to hire on on the first build not sure how to hire one on this station. I let the game go for around 8 hours last night and still no ship trader. I can go to the ship merchant on board in the station but yep. There is no trader standing there. Anyone have this issue yet. Or know if there is a work around?

There was an issue in the earlier builds where a shiptrader would be assigned to player shipyards which didn't have any. This is now fixed and you have to assign one, as you do for station managers.

Thanks! I thought I was doing something wrong lol

A few other questions related to ship traders, then:
-Is their performance skill-dependent?
-If so, what are the skills related to performance? (Management, I assume...)
-Do they also gain skills over time? (Is it a good training position for an NPC?)

Hi. I just builded shipyard and assigned shiptrader. Already game is running for few hours and, shiptrader is not in place. I cant build any ships becose of that. And when im trying to build ships from map menu, it shows, message: there is no shiptrader on board. And when I'm trying to assign another shiptrader, It shows that cant assign any more to shipyard. Rebuilded the shipyard, restarted game, nothing changes. Any help would be appreciated. V 2.20 Beta. Thanks

P.s: ship trader hired from same station, where shipyard is attached.

As per what Mixxik said, I am also having the same problem with Shiptrader allocation. I now have 4 wharves where I cannot build ships or add a shiptrader after initially allocating an NPC on the wharf to the role. Any suggestions on a fix?

I managed owercome that issue, but it not resolve it. I deconstructed the shipyard and constructed it in completely new claimed plot and allocated shiptrader from one of my docked ships. And fallowed that shiptrader to the dock elevator. After some time i had shiptrader in place. So as I said it not resolves problem, but just templorary fixing it.

Is there any chance to add same mechanic to station shops? It is a bit weird to see only SCA traders on my own stations and they don't want to by some wares from me because of faction rating.
