Announcements post #149: Market Orders Cleared.
From: Starmaker Eukelade
Subject: Market Orders Cleared.
As many of you probably know by now, purchasing market orders at stations was often a hit or miss experience - sometimes you'd get what you paid for, sometimes you wouldn't. The reason this was happening is because occasionally the commodities were not where the game expected them to be, and thus was unable to complete transactions. We believe this has now been fixed.
Unfortunately, the nature of the bug means that our current list of market offers will need to be cleared out before things start working correctly. That means if you've listed a market order, you'll need to relist it. Sorry about the inconvenience, but hopefully this will make life better for everyone going forward.
Thanks to our new volunteer coder Senzei (say hi, everyone) for tracking this down and fixing it for us! Thanks also to Damiel for providing invaluable debug support, and thanks to all of you for telling us about it so many times. If you continue to run into problems, let us know.
