Weird bug...a station is fooling me!

Hi there commanders!

Well, this must be a joke, a station is playing with me, just fooling me.

What happens?!

I go to station A... the price of one commodity says: 7540cr.... ok, I know that in station B (other system) they sell it 6400cr.... nice profit..... BUT.... when I show up in station A W/O that commodity in my coargo, it remains at a buy price of 7540cr. Now as soon as I have that commodity in my cargo, the price suddenly shows: 6500cr!! WTH?!

I know the market is dynamic, but this? I tried it with and w/o cargo a few times.... when I show cargo empty the price is up , when I'm fully loaded with it the price is down.. STATION, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

anyone else seeen this already?!

It is in by design of FD

It is the famed balancing that is taking place to balance the markets.

The more of that commodity you have in your cargo hold, the lower the price is.

So 1t in cargo hold will give a price, but 200t will give a lot less.

BTW prices are not changed until you leave the system.

HTH

thnx for your answer... but... this can't be true! Of course the 2 stations are in 2 different systemns (21Ly each other)....

Everyelse when I check a price, the cargo is never playing a role and prices are +/- stable... this one here must be a bug!!

Maybe you were Ironic?
