Just found out something disturbing.
This is a combination UI and logic bug.
So in the case of two bonds: First click is usually Aisling's bonds and second set is usually Pilots Federation bonds.
but when you click, not all of the bonds drop to zero (paid) so it's natural that you'd want to click again.. When you do so, the next bond drops to zero (paid)
Problem is that your staff gets paid for ALL THE BONDS every time you click. SO if you have three bonds and click three times she gets her cut 3 times!
Anyway here are the most recent log entries cut from my journal to show you the bookkeeping mayhem happening in E
I've looked through my logs and found dozens of these duplicate and triplicate payments... I've checked my credits ledger on ED Discovery and found the same double dipping every time I've declared bonds... All the way back until April when I started playing Elite again.
Looks like she's been a'stealin' mah credits .
Despite what the UI might show you ONLY CLICK ONCE when declaring your bonds. Even though it shows the bond hasn't been redeemed, it has been.
Also your contributions are currently not appearing in the CG contribution totals... So I would hold off from contributing right now.
Wow, 2025 and this 10 year old game still has some incredibly fundamental bugs.
