Hi,

I created my own start where u start with 2 s-modded revenants (such beautiful cargo and fuel space without huge signal footprint from civ hulls that chases bounties away) but you also start with -$200 000 credits

Twice now on receiving a reward (once in a bar) and this time at the galacia outpost for handing in the sensor package u collect from the first planet u survey.
The first time I thought it I had received more rewards than i had realised and the credits were 0 as a funny coincidence.

However this time, i was still $158 000 in debt and recieved $18 000 reward for handing in the package and ended up with 0 credits.

I'm fairly sure that negative credit amounts are just not supported.

I seem to remember something about a blog post (long ago) that talked about adding salaries for crews and officers and how u can go into debt paying them (because u can be away from the core systems with com relays for many many years) and how interest is charged on a negative balance but u cant purchase anything in the store but if u get below some threshold (i thing -100k) then ur crews start leaving.

I cant find it atm.

BTW `NGCAddCredits` rules script accepts negative values

"Debt" is a different concept than a negative credit value; it's something that happens when you have negative income for the month and not enough credits to cover the difference - your credits iirc become zero and you get a "debt" value viewable from the Reports intel tab. You don't need to pay all of it back, it's just tracked for crew leaving if you're in this state for more than a month, etc.

Ok

Well, a negative credit value, vanishes, gets replaced with a 0 on (vanilla) quest reward

[Alex]

Alright! (Just to be clear, this is not a bug and negative credit values are not supported.)
