A station that officially sells imperial slaves on their commodities market has them prohibited?

Is that a data entry error?

Obviously, no faction on the station could be selling imperial slaves if they are prohibited.

Raise a bug report or is there some circumstance under which this should be possible?

This station has no black market, only the commodities market.

Not sure if it's normal, but I've just seen it as well. I assuming you realise that you do at least get the little "illicit cargo" warning show up in the bottom right hand corner after you've bought some.

I've no idea what the behaviour was before, as I've only just started looking at smuggling since the apparent buffs it got. I assumed any prohibited cargo would be sold on black market, but on (very) limited experience recently it seems that it's only stolen goods that you sell on the black market, prohibited goods are dealt with in commodities as normal?

Have the minor factions changed ownership of the station? This can affect commodities, including making previously legal goods illegal (and vice versa).

If i remember correct, not entirely sure - some events that can occur on minor factions, add additional wares at times. Sometimes even wares that are usually not sold / bought officially due to restrictions on said station - like said slaves.

Ah the controlling faction change idea would make sense.

I tried to just check if I could see anything in the system map, and something absolutely bizarre happened:

I'm in a hauler, I just fitted for some long distance flight, when I read your answers, so I open galaxy map, pick the system and push the button to go into system view. Next thing I know, I have a station interface infront of me, but not only that, I'm clearly in a (my?) Vulture's cockpit - as I puzzle about what just happened, the game crashes...

Edit: there was another funky thing going on in that system's other station... It was unusually crowded with ships, but they were all just flying circles (not talking about the security ships). So I get docking permission, set my speed to zero to let the docking computer take over. and then it sits... and sits... waiting in queue... at 5 minutes left, I turned off the docking computer and then turned it back on. back into the queue until finally, the landing permit expires!

Not a single ship went past me to land in the entire time.

So, well for the first time, I had no choice to land my Anaconda manually :p I was avoiding it, cause flying out of the coin slot, you get a weird ground effect-like buoyancy, making you float upward to actually scrape the ceiling of the coin slot, unless you hit lateral thrusters to compensate at the right time.

So when I flew in, there was no such effect though, went totally straight without any updraft. Same thing for the second time, no problem at all. (no, the "buoyancy" is not from bumping the bottom of the ship and getting sent up, that's not it. Not touching anything for this to happen when coming out. It only happens in one direction.
