Newcomer / Intro How exactly does Fleet Carrier balance work? I have 2.2 billion in it, but it shows 750 million negative.. Is it a bug?

[Shir]

Not a new player, i've had my Fleet Carrier ever since they came out. Initially after buying it i put 3 billion in its balance, and now 750 million from it are spent in weekly expenses, about 2.25 billion left. The balance shows that negative value, and i always thought that is shows expenses until now.

So i am trying to set a buying order for tritium, but whatever i do, it shows my balance to be negative, NO FUNDS, and i can't place the buying order... Is there a menu somewhere that i am supposed to add money for the market? Can't find anything..

EDIT: Lol found it! I had reserved 100% of the balance for expenses, i needed to change that!!!

The money for the market comes directly from carrier funds, but in settings you can allocate exactly how much of a % of your carrier funds balance goes towards ships functions. If thats set to zero then its just an offshore bank account.
I allocate all 100% to ships functions. But I don’t issue buy orders.
