My scorpion was destroyed by some scavengers while I was waiting on the power plant to shut down. I make it back to Gupta City in Lacaille 9352 and attempt to restock it. I go to find that it would cost 4,295,967,295 credits to restock it. Has anyone else seen this absurd price?

Looks like an unsigned 32-bit integer that has had the value for -1 put in it.
Restarting my game seemed to fix the problem as now I can restock for 25,500 cr.
Yeah I was thinking along the same lines
eek. that cost more than my 500 *python build

After seeing it, I always make sure never to have that amount of credits handy, so that I don't do the misclick of doom! (and subsequent service support ticket)

Yikes! I'm trying to buy an SRV, not a Fleet Carrier!!!
Must be an antique or something!

Yup. Somebody's doing math with unsigned ints...which is bad because, if the result is negative, they just wrap around to the nearest valid number...so -1 is 4,295,967,295 and -2 is 4,295,967,294, etc. What's more, since the output is a perfectly valid number, preventing this with data validation may not be possible.
Don't do math with unsigned ints.
