Did the way the Palace and Spicehall give out rumors/contracts change in a recent update? I could swear it used to be when I looked at all rumors/contracts in Place there wouldn't be any in Spicehall and vice versa. Now it seems like they each have their own pool to draw from

When I was playing just a half year ago they still have shared pool. At least on my phone.  |

Nope, sorry, they have never shared a pool, not on any phone unless that phone has a pirated or corrupted version of the game. Although, an issue like that in the saved game would also prevent the game from loading, displaying the map, loading a menu or parsing the urban zone. If they were "shared on your phone" then you are not playing the game that I made, maybe you were playing a different game? |

I thought they had different pools as well as having a boatload of rumors in the spice hall typically meant none or close to none at the palace. Then again, I don't find palace rumors useful.

When you guys are talking about rumors, are you talking about all rumors including flavor rumors, or just "useful rumors"?
Useful rumors definitely seem to have a shared pool for hall and palace for me. If I get all the useful rumors in a spice hall or palace, then the other location won't have any useful rumors, but it will still have flavor rumors. In fact, I just made a new character and flew around to over a dozen planets to test.
I'm still on v5.9.43

Just a case of user confusion? As Cory mentioned, the game has never had shared pools for Palace and Spice Hall!
Sounds like it - it is always so easy to see patterns in things where they don't exist!

They have never had a shared pool, it may just look this way. I have thought it few times too, but.. . No, they don't |

My bad sowing chaos and confusion over here, I think part of the challenge of ST RPG is figuring out what is an actual underlying pattern and not just a random convergence of events that persists just long enough to draw some false conclusions.

I always got the flavor ones but recently I noticed that I could expunge one source and find more at the other. I'm thinking early on with a low negotiation build captian I got the wrong impression of how the mechanic worked. |

Agreed. The game has so many layers in motion under the hood. Can't wait for ST2  I am sure we will have a lot of the same, will be interesting! ST2 will be far better at exposing the internals we want exposed. |

I am working on it, we have made progress. Unfortunately Amazon's ultimate answer is "you need to re-code the entire Amazon integration, start over"  I am about 30% of the way done, shouldn't be too much longer. Thanks for being so patient. |
