No ships for sale - anywhere!

Post by LowLife »

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.

Davemak I don't have either of those OXP's installed so I don't think it's related to them.

OXP's I have installed are:

Gritty Coriolis
Behemoth
Tori
Fuelpods
Tugs
Newships
MPak
Pelamis
Cobra35
Griffin2
Python Cruiser
Old Ships
Transports
Cargo Wrex
Pirate Coves

I had the same problem recently while doing the Ramaza - Zaria run in Galaxy 2.

It seemed to fix itself suddenly after I bought a missile at Ramaza, possibly had a Maintenance Overhaul as well.

I don't think it's connected to OXP's, at least in my case, because I hadn't installed any new ones for a while when it happened.

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.

It was probably just a drop in the market. It can happen occasionally.
