hang on... on 2nd thoughts (because i got the buying and selling mixed up in my earlier post!).. how much q did the planet have before and after the trade?
what might happened is that the planet didn't have all the much Q to start with (less than 350k)... then the ships sold 350k worth of goods without the planet having paid (in full) for it. it just zeroed out the planet's treasury and then the ship paid 5k for the goods it bought
obviously question still remains.. where did the ship's money go, the same magic money it got from the planet when it sold the food.
