1.Not sure this is a bug or unexpected behaviour. Just collected our subs 5th run and set it to Upgrade as we had the correct number of mats in the armoury.

Prior to this, all Cartel vault balance was assigned to players with 0 available. Upgrading the sub caused a negative balance of -93,056,504 (it would be -100,000,000 but the sub run generated £6,943,496)

Now I was going to pay for this anyway, so that isn't a problem and I can fix the balances - but should it be doing this?

2. The Cartel events log isn't very helpful when it comes to auditing purposes.

KWYY Upgraded the submarine's speed.

It should at least say what mats / money were used.

In the Vault Events log, it also doesn't state that 100million was removed for the sub Upgrade

3. Can we have a discussion about the rewards? I know the market is absolutely screwed at the moment but the rewards are not great, regardless of how many thresholds or item types you use. From my calculations, you're using the API values for the items which just doesn't reflect anything remotely resembling reality (even before the market went haywire).

 

You have members with positive balances that add up to more money than what is in the vault, indicating you used THEIR money and not CARTEL money and now the cartel is in the negatives because it borrowed from its members.

 

We have 100m in the vault, 50m is the members balance meaning the faction has 50m available. increasing the members balance by 1b but not having 1b in the vault increases the available money by a negative amount. 50m of that billion is covered by the cartels available cash but the other 950m is not available to give to the member('s balance). our cartel is now 950m in debt. 

 

I believe this feature is working as it should jut not explained. 

 

 

EDIT: this might be a bug though

i can change a negative balance to $0 but i cant change to a negative balance at all, bigger or smaller. says im "not allowed to use numbers less than zero"
