Eonomic map broken / counterintuitive

[specialsymbol]

It is very strange, but somehow my map is broken:
the trade routes move, but they move in the wrong direction. It seems like they move from systems with higher commodity prices to systems with lower prices.

Shouldn't it be the other way round, so that it depicts the flow of commodities, which would be from low prices to high prices?

Also the exporting/importing information is exactly the other way round. Systems with low prices should be exporters and systems with high prices should be importers.

Or did I miss something crucial in basic economic understanding?
I know that in real life the theory often doesn't work like this, but this is only because of heavy political intervention via taxes and subsidizing (think energy costs - oil and coal are heavily subsidized in the countries that extract them to keep employment, hence the price is always lower than unsubsidized renewables).

You're not imagining it, FD have acknowledged it, and we're hoping for a fix next week.

There is definitely something not quite right with economy at the moment. I took a mission last night that required me to fetch 2 slaves.....used the galaxy map and system maps to track down an anarchy station about 30 ly away that the system map said exported slaves....got there and guess what?.....slaves weren't even listed on the commodities list! Also noted that slaves are not included on the drop down filters on the trade routes tab in the galaxy map.

Slaves are in the "other" category.
