Be careful selling cartographic data (bug!)

Bloomoo · Jan 4, 2015

I was in the middle of the tedious process of selling all my cartographic data (I estimate around 800 items)
when suddenly my credit balance dropped to 0CR

I immediately stopped, and checked all the other displays, which also showed 0CR
I then logged out and back in, and luckily my credit balance was back as it should be, and I could continue selling data.

I'm not sure what would have happened if I'd made any more transactions while it was still showing 0CR,
but if it happens to anyone else, make sure you immediately stop what you are doing and logout and back in again.

Edit:
It just happened again! I guess the transaction servers are misbehaving again.
I'm stopping for tonight, I don't want to risk losing a couple of million credits.

There are lot of bugs like that. Today I've bought T6 and stored Cobra. After 10mins of buying new stuff for T6 i realised Cobra is not in station i'm in but .. in system 150 LY away (where I was trading often). I went there but it wasn't available on any station (system view showed nothing, only overall map showed that yellow icon). When docked it showed it is 300 LS away but there was no station in that range, funny). After relogging Cobra went back to where it should be and i was able to sell it. Funny stuff

Yes, I missed most of the fun over the last few days with the transaction servers, as I'd already outfitted my ship and set off exploring by then.
I just had to deal with repeated lost connection errors, which wastes an awful lot of time when exploring, as you have to restart and then wait to replot your route every time.

Had a similar thing to Theev myself with my starting ship being listed in one system but was actually in a compteley different one. The fact I had taken notes on where it actually was helped in resolving it for me. But logging out/in seems to also work.

Went back to selling my stuff, and I now have a system worth 0CR as well

this isn't a temporary glitch this time, it remains there after restart.

I got it once or twice. Save / Exit + Reload and it seems fixed though.

Bloomoo · Jan 5, 2015

This one does seem to be permanent, I tried restarting a couple of times last night with no change, and it's still showing as 0CR this morning.
It's not that big a deal, that system only has 1 star and an asteroid belt anyway.

Bloomoo · Jan 5, 2015

After I got down to just one page of systems, the correct value suddenly appeared

I'm now much happier, and also 3.5 million credits richer!

I really hope they bring back the "Sell All" button that was there in one of the betas...

I've had a zero credit system where all I've discovered is an asteroid belt when rescanning with the advanced scanner, after previously all other major bodies with the basic one a few days before.

Bloomoo · Jan 5, 2015

I'm suspect that this was one of the systems I had to repeatedly scan to get it to register, back when it was doing that a lot.
So my guess is that there may have been some kind of duplicate entry, one for the normal discovery of the star, and then an extra 0CR one for using the advanced scanner to find the asteroids, rather than them being added together as normal.
