Just bought 200 Land Based Cruise Batteries (quality 120) from space station Corona, but 1 day after, 20 of them dissapered, and 2 days after (that is now), 20 more has dissapeared?

The 200 Land Based Cruise Batteries I bought for 10 GC 2 days ago, now only counts 160 ??

Tried to figure out how to upgrade the quality of the weapons, but it seem not to be possible right now?

Where did you put them? Did you have ammo for them?

I transported them from space center to Off. base, and deactivated them immidiately.

I did not buy any ammo, but the game did.

In short, always buy the ammo first. When you lack ammo, the following rules, found in game news, are applied.

1. When ammunition supplies are lower than what is needed for one (game) year, an automatic notification can be issued and the player will receive a message warning of the approaching shortage. There is then enough time to solve the problem. You need to set this notification on.

2. If a player does not resolve the problem and the ammunition goes negative, a new game procedure will, in stages, solve the problem automatically. The procedure will not change any cash conditions in the country. It will take the following steps:

a. Several weapons that are using the ammunition type that shows a severe shortage, will be exchanged for ammunition. The procedure is limited in size and will be repeated each game month until the shortage is resolved.

b. If there are no weapons in the country that can be exchanged, the procedure will try the reserves or a space center in the country to find weapons that can be exchanged.

c. If none are found, the procedure will dismantle an army unit to recover weapons that can be exchanged for ammunition, to resolve the shortage. Such event appears in the country newspaper.

Okay, that may be exactly what has happend here.

I did not buy ammo first, the game tried to buy, but I canceled the first request. Second time it bought some ammo, and now I have discovered, the game buys ammo in the same quality as the weapons quality (apparently when this feature kicks in), and even then my order strategy via the "Products in Stock" is set to 300 ?

Thanks for helpful info bro
