Playing ToA Beta 5, as a custom super breeder
with the Terran tech tree and ship styles, I noticed what I think to be a
trading bug. When I tried to trade Enhanced Miniaturization to any of the
AIs, both major and minor, they would not offer any money or influence
points. When I would click on them it should automatically calculate the
maximum amount of money they are willing to offer. The offer came in as
1BC but the trade was in the red state, I had to reduce the amount to 0BC for
it to change to green; the result was the same with the influence points.
Some of the AIs had lots of money so it was not a case of them being broke.
I took a look at the XML Tech Tree file:
<Computing ID="Enhanced Miniaturization">
<Group>Miniaturization</Group>
<DisplayName>Enhanced
Miniaturization</DisplayName>
<Cost>600</Cost>
<Description>This allows us to make even smaller
components which lets us put even more on ships.</Description>
<Details>A spokesperson for the Hygerion Technology
Center had this to say on the new Miniaturization technology:||"Remember
Miniaturization? It was pretty great wasn't it? I mean, with the making things
smaller and stuff and junk. Well, Enhanced Miniaturization is like, you know,
way, way better. The reason it's better is because it's enhanced. This is quite
different from regular Miniaturization which is, as we all now know, not
enhanced."||In related news, stock in Hygerion fell 25 points today in
heavy trading...</Details>

Most of the techs don't have an entry WillingnessToTrade and those that do all
have a value of 50. Has anyone else seen weird trades?
