Over the last couple of days I must have visited about ten systems, at each one when I've checked the ships for sale screen it just states no ships are available for purchase. I can't believe none of them have ships for sale, they've ranged from tech level 3 to 14, all the way from poor agricultural to rich industrial.
I initially thought it must be an OXP that's causing it, removed any I've installed over the last week but still the problem persists.
I've opened an earlier save file from a few weeks ago checked and that appears to be okay - could I have a corrupt save file.
I'm running the latest version of 1.65 under windows.
On second thoughts, I think this may have started happening shortly after accepting the Military Fiasco mission, and may have fixed itself around the time of scoring the first kill of a Military ship.
Does this match up with what other pilots have experienced?
My problem sussenly seemd to right itself - don't know why.
Haven't tackled any of the missions or installed any yet so I don't think it's mission related.
