I broke my elite - reached max int32 number in combat bond :D

[cmdr Temeleen]

edit: support came through and added the whole value with the overflow included, so this was actualy over 5 bil bond... yaay!

So this is fun - apparently combat bond reward is unsigned __int32 value, cause I have stopped getting any more reward when my combat bond (goids) reached 4,294,967,295 - which is exactly the limit of unsigned int32. More over now the whole thing got whacked and wants to tax me with 84%

Ive filed a ticket so hopefully this can be resolved, just wanted to share cause I think its hilarious

I've heard of supertax for the incredibly wealthy but that's the cat's colon right there.

Hand it in at the correct station, and watch all the other factions implode instantly...

It was that 200cr fine...
"We don't want you criminal scum in our system, so have deducted legal expenses from your bounty!"

 

[BL1P]

So glad they balanced the game, its working so well now

 

[cmdr Temeleen]

im not handing it in before I know I get the correct reward lol

I hope they fixed that at the same time when they fixed explorers dumping all their exploration data in one session....

Hihi,
guess they did not see that coming when they gave the bounties that 4x boost

It is rather an amazing feat!

Outstanding achievement OP!

On this note, do you know how many different types of bounties you can collect before it throws a computer fit? I've had many hundreds before but often wondered if there is a mathematical max?!

Imagine when they call up the original coder asking for support :

FDev : Hey, can you help us out with an old project of yours you did for us with ED?
Coder : Sure, what's the matter?
FDev : We need to locate an integer overflow in Bounty Voucher Transactions.
Coder : ......what? That was int32_unsigned... We used that everywhere to ensure lots of headroom.
FDev : Exactly, it's being overrun now.
Coder : ugh WHAT? Do you have any idea how long it would take to generate a 4+ Billion Voucher? That would take many years !
FDev : No, we've.... well.... we've rebalanced some things. Players do this in a week or less now.
Coder : [Darth Vader voice]What have you done ??!??

No problems, thought I'd ask as your achievement is awesome!

Forgot :
Should they fix that, they might as well look at the lower Panel, Crew Wages paid once they're at it

Thats cold.

I love it. Feel free to redeem your bonds more often. Now at least the rest of us know the limit of letting our bonds build up. I think I had 4.9 million earlier today as my max. Now don't do that again. It was probably you who took down the servers earlier with that error .

So..

... is it just me wondering what we would have to offer the OP to hand these in to the "right" station?

Offers over 100M Cr only please, 10% finders fee.
Not entirely sure I'm joking.

(has there ever been a marketplace for this, could this be a new player driven economy??)
