Starbase - Massive Annoyance and Frustration

When in the Office looking at the SB location on offer what does it say in the +25M column?

Welcome Captain. I see you have a Personal membership and as such any bidding you do on any Starbase License will use funds from your Personal Escrow Account.

You currently have 2,500,586,198 credits at your disposal.

As you bid, funds will be moved from your Personal Escrow account into the Directorates Holding Account. If you are outbid, your invested funds will be returned to your Personal Escrow account.

Each time a Bid is increased the time out is reset and restarts at Ten Days.

Seems very strange, can I ask that you contact me privately either in game or via Discord PM, so we can discuss. I test ran a toon to the office and I can bid on any of the open locations, you do appear to have enough funds so little at a loss. we have not changed the code since it was released, other than to increase the initial starting price.

If you have a Bug track account, you can log it there as well, but 1:1 time to run through a few things would be handy.

Achilleos - try it now. I think no one noticed or reported that whilst the opening Bid is 2.b Bill it was looking for an additional 25mill (bid + 25 mill) to open the bid. Took time to test today on Dev and recoded it so the opening Bid is EXACTLY what it should be.

Any issues you know where to find me....

So after many years work and a few annoying set backs, (see above, lol) I have finally managed to deploy my personal top spec starbase.
Now the question is will I find it a satisfying reward or just a crazy gamble that will all become to much to cope with and Capt Achilleos will end up just a piece of space debris floating around forever in some obscure system, after all I'm left with a mere 172 million credits.
Then again as the no 1 Space taxi service and 133790 happy and satisfied passengers hauled around over the years under my name, maybe I can make it work if they start tipping well :-)

Congratulations on Grand Opening of your own Starbase. They are nice to see and they do come with lots of responsibilities :D
