No ships available for purchase!

Post by Cody »

Curious - just been patrolling the Maraus hub, and someone's been buying-up all the ships.
Of eight systems visited, only the seventh had any ships for sale - and that was a solitary Moray.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

That's wierd, I usually have a couple of pages of ships for sale. I must state the obvious, but what tech level was these systems? I think it has to be over level 7 for ship sales.

<chortles> Oh, the full spread - a three, a couple of fives, an eight, a ten, a thirteen and a fifteen.
It reset after I'd exited and restarted Oolite, which was a shame really - I'd have been interested to see how far the dry-spell would go.

I've mentioned this in the past as well. From what I recall, weeks can pass with no ships for sale.

It'd be nice if OXPs could set the least+most ships a station could have for sale...

I've only had it happen the once, I think it took about ten trips before ships started to appear again. But as you can reset it on starting it isn't really a big thing really. But i've never seen a ship for sale below tech 7.

You do see ships for sale at the lower TLs - just not as often. The reset puzzled me a little though - I don't recall that happening before.

I've used the reset myself in the passed to randomize the ship lists. :P
