A bug that allows to earn money too quickly

Description:
I found a bug-based method that allows to trade and earn money too quickly.
I can't speak about this at forum because any player can use this method - and some players will use if they will know.
Please contact me via e-mail "Max Brown <mx@obninsk.ru>" (enter WITH my name!) or, better, ICQ 6654627 (i will talk about this ONLY with TheUniversal authors).

Good call Max. We don't want any random peep to cheat our little game no do we?

This is getting interesting. First a trade route calculator and now an abusable bug. How long have you been around for?

Hi Max,
thanks very much for bringing that to our attention and for being suitably careful. The bug will be fixed in the next full release (along with one or two similar other exploits).

Now this bug fixed, and i can disclose it.
When a player falls into a star, he(she) lose nothing. But have a respawn in Planitia space station.
When this bug was not fixed, i purchased New Technologies at the planet Treasure Cove (now renamed), make a SuicideTradeJump to Planitia, sell all cagro and return wirh InfImp jump to Treasure Cove.
CAUTION: Bug is fixed, and fixed very hard. if you'll try to repeat this now, you will lose all: your ship, cargo, all inventory.

wasn't that around since the start of the galaxy?
just nobody did it because there were pretty much no trades to the starting systems?
