Commodity market vanished from both system map/facilities and station menu itself.

weird case (as in: we have never seen something like that happening).

• a surface station, which had a commodity market, lost it after change of control.
• since over a week it doesn't have the facility listed anymore, and it doesn't show anymore in system map/facilities
• it went from a npc dictatorship to an inactive PMF dictatorship.
• state of the controlling faction is none/happy.
• while it is known, blackmarkets for exampel might change by changing goverment types, we have not yet seen a commodity market going away.

so - anybody has an idea what happenend, anybody has witnessed something similar? or is it simply a bug?

The most likely explanation, I think:
- the station doesn't normally have a commodity market
- the station had a black market added by a previous owner, which also opens a commodity market if there isn't one already
- for some reason, the NPC dictatorship didn't close the black market when it took over a while back [1]
- the new dictatorship has, so the commodity market goes too.

[1] This is probably the bug?

you have been right @Ian Doncaster.

learn new things everyday!

i didn't know that a BM opens a commodity market as well. it was an anarchy faction opening the BM. BM got closed. Commodity market gone. eddb/ross database history had all the info.
