Oh dear! Station Markets gone into melt down?

MARKET APOCALYPSE!

News Alert: Panic selling hits the Five Systems on eve of Trade Bloc Expansion

With rumours swirling of financial collapse and inaccessible trading accounts, market commentators are urging Chango Dock residents to avoid panic buying of basic goods such as Fish and Food Packs.

Chaotic scenes have also been reported at space dock egress points, with local traders dumping goods into station corridors rather than pay fixed cargo transport taxes on now-worthless goods such as Aluminium and Marine Animal Husbandry Adapters.

Freeport Mayor Jim "Toe-Cutter" McMaccinMack has attempted to impose some semblance of social order in the anarchic host system, declaring, "For seventy-two hours, it is now illegal to kill and eat your fellow Freeport residents - even IF they have no personal self-defence weapons".

Rep-worthy, but I need to spread the love.
Have a virtual +1

According to my market logging something happened at around 8.10 this morning, and it happened to everything.

That's 8.10 UTC, so just after 9 UK.

Seems prices have changed on producer items, even though stock levels didn't move.

Smells like FD did something first thing.

I must get some graphs sorted.

Yep, this is about the time I bought the aluminium and also just after the game crashed. Went and got a good strong cup of tea as compensation and logged back on about 20-ish minutes later to find all the markets borked.

Did it go this crazy the day the Premium Beta was launched? I was flying to Freeport, got to the safe stop distance and got interdicted by Radiant Dawn who followed me into the station and got zapped, also seemed to be lots of other fights going on at the station, was like a war zone.

 

[Mr_Jim]

Gonna be interesting to see if there are major changes to trading in this new version.

In other works, just after they got to work. So maybe it was something in preparation for the update. I did notice the changes at Chango Docks. Unfortunately I missed the announcement about the servers going off at 14:00, which could explain why I crashed when trying to dock my Cobra at around 14:00

I must have been one of the last to sell up.

I entered the station to find there was a cobra on my allocated pad, and it took 3 requests to docking control to get a new pad. Finally sold up at about 13:55.

Again, Radiant Dawn proves they are the Crappest Pirate Ever.
