To have an idea to what is happing, I have noted the following.

I had ninety uridium at sys M-285. The jump to sys M-216 is 44.76 uridium.
I should have 45 uridium left after the jump.
When this bug bits I have had 0 to 20 uridium left.
The uridium is taken away from the total you have, some where between the rain bow colours and the first white flash in the jump.

I hope this helps.

Update.

This bug is starting to be a pain now.

This bug bits when you have less than 100 uridiun left in your tank.
For some unkwon reason you lose the extra uridium when the game takes the uridium away from your toral befor the jump starts.

You can not mine for uriduim when you have a full cargo bay. ( This bug has cost me almost 1Million Cr's ). I just hope this bug can be fixed.

At this stage to stop the bug from bitting ( I hope this will work ) is to have more top ups of uridium.
The effect it has on the game is not good. The trips will take longer to do.
Eg: a 15 min run now, will be about 20 mins. Or you may have change your run if there are no systems that sell uridium.

Last update.

Keeping me uridium above 100 seems to be working for now.
I may have lost a lot of Credits, but that is the name of the game.

As I said in the forum.
The game dose not like you pushing the jumps to the the limit. :)
