I was running the CSC missions, and buying fuel for my 500MW reactor. I then got promoted to Master Sergeant, and the Refuel option then changed to say "This station does not have fuel suitable for your ship's reactors". Nothing had changed on my ship setup, the only change was the promotion. I am assuming this is a bug triggered when the station switches from selling you fuel to doing it free of charge, or from expensive to cheap. This is more than a bit annoying, as CSCs are a good source of fuel in later systems.

I've seen this problem as well. It affects all Fleet assets, and it also occurs for repairs once the player reaches the rank at which they become free.

I note that in the coding for the Space Command stuff (I think), things are set to have prices rather than being a giveaway because of being unable to sell things for nothing. I am unaware of whether this is a balancing thing (to prevent money-grinding), or whether it is a mechanical limitation. If it's the latter, then this may be the cause of this problem

Are you talking about the Refuel option there or the Armoury one, as I recall the Refuel option being 0 credits on previous version once you reach an appropriate rank.

The key there is previous version. The merchant code was redone for 1.5 to support EP and it broke something.

At a higher rank, armor repair is also supposed to become free. In the new version, it experiences the same problem as refueling at that rank.
