13 Jump escort ends in no reward

Jul 02, 2006 Klabbath link
Just took a 13 jump convoy and killed two or three Artemis Assaults or Tycorps. Got to end station with the message "Excellent work. We did not lose a single ship." But no reward popped up.

I have a screen dump of the above line showing no reward but have no idea where to send it to.

Account name is "klabbath" Pilot name is "Nigel the Indecently Dressed."

Thanks.

Hi Nigel-

I see the problem in the logs. For some reason, the mission tried to give you a negative reward, which was prevented. I'll try to figure out how it happened, and next time I see you in-game, I'll compensate you. Thanks for the report!

A NEGATIVE reward? Who'd I piss off now?

No hurry, Momerath. If it's a choice between an improvement to the game and giving me experience, put your time into the game, but thanks!

Perhaps you followed the wrong convoy? ;P

...or the convoy assumed you were stalking it.

IIRC, there are no negative numbers per se in the database, so it just looped around to the highest possible number, less one

No, thurisaz. It actually had to do with the route danger calculation; it's not as if he was supposed to receive 32768+ xp, and even then, it has nothing to do with the DB.

Edit: ah- nevermind:)

I'm going to lock this. If anyone has a similar problem, please make a new thread; I'm fairly certain it should never happen now.
