I've run into this too. With the same variable. It SEEMS to me that it only happens at neutral bases... perhaps there is a tiny bug relating to particular factions and their variables?

I too have seen this.

hmm it appears to be an unknown-controlled base...wonder if that's why

One thing which really needs fixed in the stories is the 'demand for' story. the 'sector/solarsystem/planet' looks pretty bad.

hmm...what exactly would you be returning for the faction? unknown? neutral? if it was unknown then this should not occur, as we have an"unknown" faction......

but if it was neutral..or nothing at all, then we could have a problem

I never thought that we would get "unknown" base factions though....why do we get "unknown" base factions?

The Message has been displayed in this 'pirate' medical-station (ella/sol-system):
http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forum ... php?t=1453
It has some pirate logos on it, but says 'unknown' in the HUD.

Is the story itself bad, or just the VAR code?

I dont think the story is BAD, but theres probably room for improvement. The VAR code is the part that kills it though.
