Did the server update effect goods prices?

Apr 16, 2007 Impavid link
I logged on tonight to find a route I'd been running suddenly had a much lower seel price than last night. It's not tanked though ( I know how much they'd sell for if a mothload were sold), just a lot lower than it was.

Did the update change or resent goods prices?

It seems like convoys can alter good prices, so that could be the reason.

However, it's not exactly unprecedented for the Devs to play games like that with the economy sans notice to players.

I'm not aware of any intentional changes on our part. I would guess it was just a convoy, or some such.

Weird, never had a convoy do that before at this spot... Go progress... I guess....

Some random pie rat could kill some random convoy and sell this same widget

Kill more pie rats for the sake of vendetta! I will too

NPC Convoys don't affect prices. I would guess it was another player.

If it had been me (it wasn't, I've been out-of-game), it wouldn't be 120cu, or even 200cu, but closer to 20000cu, probably way way more.
That can really REALLY tank the price.

That's what's weird about this. A single mothload completely tanks the price of something, but in this case, it was not tanked. It was like someone sold 47 of the good.

Im going to kill that person!
