I sold some items to the Black Market in s18. The Black Market paid me for the items, but they were not removed from my ship. When I tried to "unload" the items, I got an error message something like "Inventory error".

I recreated the bug running verbose 6 and have sent the errors.log file to Ray.

yea RelayeR... after you give the cargo to the Black Market mission, it's not there; but your cargo still shows up in inventory. if you refresh station, or change to another tab (click "Buy" and then click "Cargo" again) the items will be gone.
perhaps the Cargo window isn't refreshing..

msging doesn't refresh your screen... so they're gone but the client doesn't know to update your window.

i tested it on behalf of moneybugginess, and lo! the items that have been given but are still visible do not sell. so, no money bug (thankfully).
the "Sell" button makes them disappear.

Yes, I know all the workarounds. If all of you know about this, how come it was never posted?

hmmmmmmm??

because: is it a problem?

the only thing that needs to be changed is for the station to refresh itself. the transaction still takes place, and items are removed without a hitch.

Somewhat related. Someone told me the Black Market missions in 10 and 15 weren't supposed to raise your standing with Axia. Upon trading bot cargo with the sector 10 mission computer, I received +1 standing point. The second batch of cargo had no effect on my standing. Intentional? Do they go up in fractions (0.5?) or are they not supposed to at all?

they go up in fractions

You should receive a message telling you when the faction rating goes up, and they definitely go up in small increments often less than you can see in the charinfo page.

on average, I find that 16 "axia standing increased slightly" messages results in a +10 increase in standing.

that's only an approximation on my part

Maybe it depends on what your faction standing is.

Like if your plus 800+, a 'increased slightly' only adds .25 to your standing, and an 'increased slightly' when your -800 gives you 1 point.

Ya it's not a linear increase. I'm +996 with Itani and "increased" (note no 'slightly') does something like +.20

huh. I thought you'd be higher than that... (me counts her own deaths in eld's pk list)

but for example, I can't get my corvus standings to go any higher. they are only 980

Because you prapobly can't trade higher (+980 with itani.. no increase for trading anymore), botting also doesn't count anymore. You can gain standing by PK criminals, but it doesn't work with fractions :/

I think the PK increase only works with nations, not factions. I can kill an itani to gain serco standing, but I can't kill anyone to gain Orion standing, for example

My standing with Serco is maxed out at +999. PKs don't increase it. I'll try trading and botting to see if that still increases it, but I doubt it. Why did they make it impossible to be loved by your own nation? Hmmm...

I have a picture of the Black Market cargo bug ...

it's funny. it's the magical emtpy widget! (represented by a white square)

would anyone like to host it?

Did you mean -999? Or are you actually at +999 with Itani? PK's wouldn't increase but decreese standing with the victim's home nation.

>My standing with Itani is maxed out at +999. PKs don't increase it. I'll try trading and botting to see if that still increases it, but I doubt it. Why did they make it impossible to be loved by your own nation? Hmmm...

do a quick substitute: put "serco" instead of "itani", and you will know what Arolte really meant...

*clue: "your own nation"--> Arolte is serco : )

Yeah... meant Serco. My Itani rating is doing very well, thankyouverymuch! Yep, a nice and even -1000.
