This was weird.... Where to? (?=Help) S You walk past row after row of space ships, most of them are shiny and brand new, but some show signs of wear and use. You even recognize a few of the registration names on some of the older ships. Apparently they have used as well as new ships for sale here. You have 1,000,000,000 credits. Your option (?) ? B You find a salesperson and ask about buying a new ship. Welcome to the 'yards', you want to trade in that old ship? Yes "Your ship is in decent shape." "Here's what we'll offer for it": Ship Hull Value : 8,999 Ship Holds Value : 42,956 Main Drive Value : 899 Computer Value : 18,269 Fighters : 359,999 =========== Trade-in Value : 431,122 Still interested ?

That was on a test server. 1 billion credits is the max you can carry, so something in the code is incorrect which causes the game to think you have less money than you really do with amounts over a billion. This probably isn't a very serious issue, but since I saw it thought I would mention it. |

Theres a perfectly good explnation! Your trade in value is 431,122, but the ISS only costs 329,000 so buying the ISS would put you over 1bil. This has been noted before on these very forums and it was suggested that instead of the game telling you that you cannot afford it it should rather tell you something else like you have to much money to sell the old ship or something. hmmm apparently no such action has yet been taken, and I can't see that it has any kind of priority as you could just buy the new ship without selling the old one. Further...if your playing a real game and your carrying around 1bil your just stoopid! Edited by - phx on March 09 2002 3:15:37 PM |

>PHX >Further...if your playing a real game and your carrying around 1bil >your just stoopid! Well sometimes I like to put on my world ssm script before I go on spring break. SO when I get back I will check my player and he will usually have a billion credits. So as you can see I have no choice but to carry it around. 
Seriously though, it just seems strange that you can have "too much money", and that it would prevent you from buying a new ship. |

Seriously though, it just seems strange that you can have "too much money", and that it would prevent you from buying a new ship. 1 bil? The game should be long done before you even reach that amount. It sounds like a good hypethical question but I doubt if a fix will be forthcoming. Anyone with a Bil has room to complain? Not in real life or in any game I would think. Seriously, it's not a real problem in my mind. Any group of players that allows you to keep any part of that Bundle can't call themselves much of a player. Let me know where you can play that type of game. It's one I won't play since it way too easy. Visit slbbs.com port 2002 for a rip roaring game of TW where you also have to battle the Klingons, Romulans, Orians and the Borg. |
