1) I had 4 plates of worldship armor, one with no enhancement, the others with Noshields, EMP, and Reactive (was testing out the barrels in my hold). I used another unidentified barrel which turned out to be ithalium paste on the unenhaned plate. It worked fine. I tried to use the now-identified ithalium paste on the other 3 plates. It said that it had no effect. :( Maybe this is something new that I just don't know about, but I thought I could use different pastes and it would just nullify or overwrite the effects depending on what the first paste was.

2) I was selling stuff at Adventure Outfitters. I remember seeing a price for some armor as I scrolled past it, and then I sold some organic acid, shield power cube, and some armor. I don't think I sold anything else. Then, for osme reason, when I tried to see the prices for the items it had for sale, they were all "Nil." I undocked and redocked and it was fine.l

You should've bought everything you could fit in your cargohold and aold it back:P

You now need to remove the previous paste/coating before using a new kind. That acid paste has a use now!
I never said I was sane.

I said I was perfectly insane.

Definitely a bug--I'll take a look at it. Thank you!

Now you need to take an enhancement off before you put another one on. Barrels of degenerating nanos and meteorsteel dust are useful now.
I've also had the nil bug happen in a .98a game but never since. I have 0.98b right now.

Not necessarily true in all situations. Reactive and Ablative are still swappable...if you already have one type applied, the other will replace it. Same with Thermo and Ion. I think those are the only ones but not certain.

The bug is confusing what you have for sale with what you can buy. If you sell a certain value to a shop, It stops buying.

I've had the bug Petrus described as well. It happened in a similar gamephase at a corporate trader, i undocked and redocked and it seemed fine but bugged one second later. The second time redocking díd help. There was no case of selling too many items, the prices were Nil and i was politely being informed i couldn't afford that!

Yeah, it told me I couldn't afford Nil too. Those pesky nils, man... they're even harder to find than rins!

Also, I forgot to mention that this was in .98b.
