Minor Bug - Exchanges - Viewing prices

No error messages or reports. I've noticed that when trading in the exchanges and viewing prices across other exchanges for specific commodities, planets show up multiple times in the list with varying prices. Makes it more difficult to understand what the real values are.

Example
Planet A Buy 233 Sell 212
Planet B Buy 276 Sell 209
Planet C Buy 245 Sell 240
Planet A Buy 230 Sell 209
Planet C Buy 250 Sell 238

Prices change constantly and those shown in the cargo page are the ones you saw last time you visited that exchange. I agree that the same planet shouldn't be shown twice, however, and is something I have noticed happening. There may be a technical reason why this happens (rumours possibly?)

Nope ... it's definitely a glitch in the matrix. Needs to be fixed as it shouldn't be happening.

Very odd report -- anyone able to reproduce? No luck here.

I did find a few odd bugs tho, so I will fix those and see if it helps.

I have it here, epsilon trading post appears twice, as does sernouaan. Obviously you'll have to check, but I think they appear twice when an exchange is visited with a rumour (shortage/surplus) is active, for any resource, at which point all resources will show that planet twice.

"Fixing" this bug was such a disaster. Lessons learned for the development team. Defect Closed!
