This is also a bug and also a suggestion.

The bug:
When you buy ammo (sunfs for example), the game doesn't check if you pass the maximum of ammo capacity you can hold, in terms of cost. Meaning, you tell it to buy 100 sunflares, you will only get 16 in your rack but you pay for the whole amount of 100. This is bad.

The suggestion:
Make a "buy as much as you can" button. Meaning, instead of writing 16 all the time, just have a button to fill the rack. Maybe even a "buy ammo for everything u have" button.

Yeah, this has been a problem since they added multiple buy. Its a problem with the game engine, it doesn't actually know how many you can hold or something. One of the devs explained it to us, read the Archives. It's on page 20 or so. :p

well at least now you don't try to equip 16 engines on 1 ship (hehe)

I don't see the problem. Don't ask to server, make it on the client side to choose how much to buy... Said u can buy 10 sunfs, so if u write to buy 100, the CLIENT knows not to buy that much and issues a "buy 10 sunfs" instead of 100.

It's coded to only take money for the 10 that you can grab. I'll have to take a look at it again though.

yes this happens with Avalons...
To test it I eptied an avalon launcher at a neighboring station and when It wanted more ammo I tried to buy 16...
I paid for 16 and got 4 :/

ok, I was mistaken. The code doesn't do this properly so it 'steals' your money.

I want it back waaaaaaaaa!

:P
