Hey, would you clarify exactly what happens when you [attempt to] purchase the tech?
- Do you see the warning-mark that shows when things are about to drop from the sky?
- Does the BF Techbot acknowledge that you did anything?
- Does the new tech drop but explodes on impact?
- Does Suragi burst through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man and slobber on your power-supply causing your PC to shortout?
Any detail you see would help.

Also, there are different opportunities to purchase one, did you notice the name of the mission you were going to do?

no warning marks - nothing comes to drop in, so nothing explodse on impact. Techbot doesn't say or do anything.

the name of mission where I tried to buy it was the very first Better Future mission - the first hover mission (basically, go in a straight line and go up and down a bit, not timed)

I should note that I "solved" the issue by simply accepting more BF missions until I got a "Punks" mission, then salvaged their bits and built my own hover tech

Awesome, glad you got it to work.

I didn't resolve the bug - i just found a brute force workaround
