New game, playing as explorer, 31 sectors on my iPad. For my second mission, I was to pickup a package and return, getting paid 2147.5 million credits upon return. Upon completion, I noticed that there was an embargo going on in my Prince's home planet. Finishing the mission led to the log showing 2.147m credits, but my existing credits (around 20K) and the mission credits aren't there. Hmmm. bug. And maybe the embargo had something to do with me not getting paid/robbed? Didn't see any type of notification... The next two missions offered were 'deferred payment', so I jumped back over to the previous 'mid-mission' planet, where I had met a new contact, and accepted a similar mission ... in which he offered me 2147.5m credits as well. I figured, what the heck, might as well try it, and capture the screens. but then this guy actually paid me! So, I asked for more missions, and he offered me a bunch of credits again! Ok, so I'm going to go nuts upgrading my ship and buying spice for everyone, but something is fishy here...

Wow, that must've been some super important stuff in that crate.

So I continued with the mission. Upon completion, I was paid, but now have 0 credits again... I'm gonna try and recreate the game settings on OSX and see if I can recreate.

MintDragon - screenshots are extremely helpful, but sometimes its most helpful for us to just type up the ... 1. I asked for a mission from the Conflict box 2. I didn't like it so I asked for a new mission from the Trait box 3. I saw the mission paid in the millions 4. I asked for another mission ... these types of reports can be really hard to follow when the order of operations isn't clear. I've tested this one three contacts and wish I could get 2 million credits!

I've tested this one three contacts and wish I could get 2 million credits! Ok, will take screenshots to document, but try to just use text for these things. With the missions, I didn't do anything out of the unusual. In early game I 1. Ask for 2 missions (left, middle) 2. Personal mission was 'deferred payment', didn't like 3. Middle mission was a 0 hyperwarp return cargo mission with 2147m payment 4. Selected middle mission 5. At turn-around point of mission, the second planet had a contact, and accepted mission from him for 2147m credits (repeated steps 1-4 above at this planet) 5. completed mission, had zero credits 6. finished mission #2 and got paid. 7. returned to original home planet, repeated steps 1-4, accepted middle mission (again return cargo mission), completed mission, and had zero credits again. I'm going to try and recreate tonight on my iMac after work, but here is the template used.

Device is having other types of issues? Money coming and going ... that sounds like saved game corruption.
I am digging into what I can figure out by have no luck reproducing on any platform so far.
All missions are exactly the same price? 2147 million?

Cory Trese has pointed out that the maximum value of an unsigned integer is 2147483647 on iOS. Something fishy going on here. Got any Talents related to Mission prices? Anything else possible? Really scratching heads over this one. Could you try on a brand new game on your iOS?

The only other tidbits I can offer is that it happened on 1.0.31 once, but never accepted the mission (I thought it was a typo for 2147 credits), then the next version came out before I continued the game. Also, 1.0.33 is a clean install.

Whenever you are able to reproduce it again, please post as much information as you can about the contact, any contact links, and traits you can see.

Oh boy, its the old "iOS can't keep floating point numbers" issue again.
You might have also had a time when all the Templars disappeared in Battleforce due to this bug.
Yeah for Apple!

All missions are exactly the same price? 2147 million? Missions were always the same price '2147.5m' This happened early in the game, captain was level 3, so the only upgrade I did was 'Gut Instinct', everyone else on the crew was not upgraded (Level 2 officers, Level 1 crew), due to the D level experience. Anyway, just got back home, going to try another game(s) on the iPad with the same map and template, and see if I can trigger it again. I'll leave the previous game in it's current state.

OK. I started 5 new games, still using the iPad. All of them have the same bug.
1. Used same template (screenshot above) 2. Used same map (31 sectors), selected Thulun 3. Upgraded Captain talent to 'Gut Instinct' 4. Officer 1 (Navigator); job Smuggler, talent Resolute Navigation 5. Officer 2 (Pilot); job Spy, talent Sly Move 6. Promoted Crew Dog to officer 7. Promoted Pistoleer to officer 8. Purchased Fuel (if contact not on same planet) 9. Navigated to Contact planet 10. Contact/Mission 11. Select Mission option 1, then 2 12. Mission 1 has always been 'deferred payment' 13. Mission 2 has mostly been '2147.5m' (one game mission 1 and 2 were deferred payment. Completed Mission 2 and returned to planet, selected new mission 2, and it was for '2147.5m'
Checked crew on each game, they have all different skills and traits, but the entire crew is from the same home planet (weird). So game 1, everyone is from Bellatrix; game 2, everyone is from Goserk, etc...
But definitely have a template/map that can recreate the bug. So I'll leave everything as is until I get some thoughts back from you. I can document, screenshot, or start deviating from the above conditions, whatever you need.
