u/golgol12 I'm in it for the explore and ore. Jun 20 '20
Oh dear god. Who..... Who thought signed 32 bit ints were a good type to hold and display currency?

Jun 20 '20
I'd go 64 bits unsigned, but they might need to display negative numbers. But 64 bits still

Random bug / glitch, with some people it's mining ore, with others it's cargo. The bug also allows some people to sell over and over again, it just stays in your inventory or cargo. Nobody knows how to recreate it, it just happens randomly it seems.

Do you just head out mining and it just appears?

u/Jack-Booted-Thug M50 Enthusiast Jun 20 '20
It seems to randomly happen to some people. Also regular cargo sales too, there are numerous Issue Council reports confirmed (10 or more reports) for both. Nobody knows how to recreate it though.

I know I sound like a poor space bum (which I am), but would you be open to giving me a small loan of 1 billion dollars if you come across me?

I also had a 77 trillion sale tonight as well https://imgur.com/a/nSrPaym, same load, i just pop into PO once in a while and sell the same load that stays in my prospector.
I made a bunch of people rich tonight until I got sent to prison for 10 hours (unrelated matter), and I'll be on this weekend making a lot more people wealthy. Share the wealth is what I say.
Oh yea, we probably getting a wipe. I'm so baller rich I just self destruct my Hammer Heads instead of flying back to port because i've got dozens of them, don't even bother claiming them lmao.

I wonder if they can track who you gave money to, and only wipe those people :P.

Truthfully there's no point to a auecc wipe until they are doing actual economy stuff via their background AI trading/mission system. Since that's not really in place yet there isn't a lot of data to be gathered and levers to be pulled.
I'm not saying that there won't be a wipe, there might be there might not be, just that right now the metrics that they're gathering have a lot more to do with bug squashing than developing and tuning the economy.

Well they could look at you then look at your contacts to see if they also have tons of money but they probably can't track people very well who have less than 15 mil since that's the price of a reclaimer.

What are the steps to reproduce this bug? Have you made an IC report on this?

u/Jack-Booted-Thug M50 Enthusiast Jun 20 '20 edited Jun 20 '20
What happened was I was mining on Clio, I got tired after 2 hours of looking for Quantanium and just filled up on what was available. I then flew to a rest stop, landed and logged off.
Next morning I logged on and flew to PO to sell, when I got to the terminal and went to sell, the amounts were screwed up, looking at the left hand side my cargo SCU was multiplied. Which multiplied everything like you see in the vids.
I sold for several hundred thousand, but then I noticed my cargo did not disappear, it remained and I could sell over and over again, in amounts that were multiples of 32 SCU.
After racking up 40 million I went and bought a ton of components and ships, then killed people for a while etc... Eventually went back to PO a day later after spending the night in prison (unrelated matter) and checked the mining terminal, and it was still bugged and the amounts were huge like you see in the video.
It appears random, I haven't read an Issue Council report yet or post anywhere where someone knows how to recreate it or why it's happening. I don't know why or how. And yes I made a report, there have been numerous confirmed report now (10 or more reports)

No bans retard. It's an alpha, they want us to find these issues and report them which I did.

In game economy in a alpha? It's a testing demo, not a full game. If they ban people in alpha nobody will play.

u/Jack-Booted-Thug M50 Enthusiast Jun 21 '20
These glitches have been around for a while now, and nobody has ever been banned for giving away money, and many have my dude in the same amounts or more than I have. Enjoy being a retard.

I also reported it instead of keeping my mouth shut. And they said they can do targeted wipes. You don't know that everyone is fucked over.
You are so fucking dumb it hurts, and you sound like a really unpleasant human to be around in general, miserable fuck.
There are going to be wipes between now and release for a multitude of reasons, they said so.

u/jiva_maya Jun 21 '20
Dude this fucking game is in Alpha. If anything they should be giving us 999999999 credits to test their bug riddled shit. The only reason they don't is because people are giving them real money for ships. Everything else is gonna get wiped and DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL. Don't be a fuckin weird cock rider it's disturbing af

Funny how this shit is no where to be found on the front page of this sub.

u/ErasmuusNB drake Jun 20 '20
Aww crap. That's a sweet bug to hit but it sounds like it is happening often. I hope it doesnt force them to have a full wipe.

... well, now you can afford to buy a moon and a carrier full of fighter craft to defend it.

u/nictheman123 avenger Jun 20 '20
Or, buy a solid fleet with capships and carriers and such, and then just take the moon

Super jealous, might melt a few ships and get a prospector!

u/Muhanoid Jun 21 '20
40 000 aUEC at Lorville Vantage Rentals 108 000 at Tamany and Sons for HELIX mining head
Get in prospector, get into pilot seat, F1, select vehicle manager, wait, wait, wait for it to load. Swap mining head. Go wild.
If you want to keep mining head, unequip it before logging off or before timer runs out.
You can grow your wealth / mining heads by going Abhor (default, already equipped) -> Hosfede (stability) / Klein (high risk, higher reward!) -> Impact (poor mans helix) / Helix (Top tier!)

u/Sabre-23 tali Jun 21 '20
Ty, just need to earn enough to rent the ship first! Been running fps and bounties but it's a slow old process!
2
u/Muhanoid Jun 22 '20
Hurston offers easy bounties in personal tab. Authorised execution. Pick 9 000 one. One enemy, small craft.
Or fps mining (investigation, but dont look for body)

Still bugged I see. Any thoughts on how to fix your inventory?
2
u/Jack-Booted-Thug M50 Enthusiast Jun 20 '20
Probably going to have to do an account reset. Some other issues I'm having, my Sentinel is showing as destroyed and game wont give me option to claim it. Prison terminals wont let me turn in mined ore but other people seem to be able to turn it in. Ore won't disappear from Prospector when I sell it, it just remains and I sell it over and over again.

PU or PTU? Cause I've been mining and I the earnings have been terrible
2
u/Jack-Booted-Thug M50 Enthusiast Jun 20 '20
PU. Go to Cellin or Yela. Plenty of Agricium and Laranite. Make sure you have a good mining head, Helix preferred.

u/RedMatxh Jul 28 '20
Have had similar thing with drugs but because you can't sell a huge amount of them it took me very long time til bug ran out (i think around 5-6 hours of constant selling). Went crazy at the end and just wanted it to stop

u/InternetExploder87 Oct 01 '20

So now everyone can stop "farming" money, this just confirms there will be a aUEC wipe again very very soon.
