Got a negative credits after buying a ship.
« on: November 20, 2015, 10:13:28 PM »

Well, I saw a Shepherd in open maket when I had no enough money. But seem like I can buy it, and I try that then end up like this.

Used to thought it was a new features but I can't repeat it. So it should be a bug, right?

Thanks - you don't happen to have a save handy, do you? You did say you couldn't repeat it, but still thought I'd ask. If you do: fractalsoftworks [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thanks! Either way, I'll come back to this and just look through the code in a bit.

That has been there for a while i think, always saw it as you now have a debt to pay before you can purchase anything, since selling stuff will bring it back above 0, and not paying your crew and so gets you deeper and deeper into debt, and you eventualy die because you can't purchase anything.

Fixed!

I mean, that makes sense, but it was still a bug. If it were a feature, there'd be more mechanics around it.
