Drengin subterfuge?

Political gambit

As soon as I finished researching Stock Exchange, the Drengin ambassador comes to me with an offer.
"We are not proud to admit it, but our scientists have yet to make a breakthrough in that dept."
He offers me Advanced Trade in exchange for Stock Exchange, and I accept.

But Advanced Trade pops right back up into his list of things he can sell me, even though Stock Exchange disappeared from mine. Perhaps his courier went "missing"?

It's an interesting political maneuver, and quite appropriate for the Drengin to pull a fast one. But it doesn't seem that I have such ability or the consequences that go with it.

Is it on purpose, or just a ghost in the machine?

Can't say I ever experienced something like that. Could be a small bug, but I don't think the Drengin are going to be that sly...

So I uess what I'm trying to say is I wouldn't know what to do about that.

Cheers.

I had that happen to me on multiple occasions with the Torians. They continued to trade me the same technology, and I would never actually obtain it, but they would get the technology that I gave them. This hasn't happened since 1.0X though.

Yeah, similar thing happened with me. Yor scammed me out of a shed load of credits for photon torpedo Mark 3. So in return I wasted their planets and took the tech by force. They tried the whole 'United Planets peace route' but I refused....You have to be hard on con artists you see
