i'm playing in the "trio galaxy", in the traders -> goods transfer i just choose 100000 metal units and whoa! it transferred instantly into my empire's stock for FREE!

what's up? I'm a new player here, perhaps its just some kind of feature?

greetings, devein

Very strange - it was tested hard and should not happen. Can You provide your Empire ID?

empire ID: 1060

what i miss greatly is lack of tooltips on every icon. they exist,but not in every menu and not for every icon. tooltips are IMHO very helpful...

Just a thought but have you just started your empire in Trio?

When you start late you automaticaly get given resources, these are stored in your traders goods transfer section.

If not then it could be a bug

I checked the code - all should be OK.
In any case I`ll look again after migration - we plan to swich site on the other server.

It should be ok, I think this was added because players who start late would normaly be at a disadvantage against those who have been playing all round and have build huge empires.

12000000 metals may seem alot but it is not much compaired to what most empires could have gained over 1000 turns or more. The ammount increases the later you start so it is intended to give you a chance to build well before the 300 turn safe time is over.

What is your empire age and what is the current time in Trio? I think it has passed turn 1500 already but not sure. This will give you alot of resources when you start.

Anyway, if this is the case that you started late then it should be ok to use the resources because it wont be a bug, if the ammount keeps increasing or if you didnt start late then it could be a bug.
