Fined for carrying illegal cargo

[Xenomorph]

Kinda bummed about this one. I got some nerve gas grenades from the pirates in Almach, make it a bit easier to cap some korath raiders, but i left them on the planet there.
Im constantly getting fined 500k for carrying illegal cargo, could that be what's causing it? I'm not carrying anything else illegal, contraband or whatever, at least not that i know about.

Yes, nerve gas is considered illegal. If you are getting fined that means that some ship in your active fleet is currently carrying at least one.

how are you getting fined 500k?
the minimum fine for possession of nerve gas is at least 1 million

What's the situation? Did you bought nerve gas but you have left this on Almach and you didn't have any of on your active fleet?

Cargo is fined for half.

I'm going to guess it might have been some kind of bug. Loaded the game today, inspected the cargo again on all ships (active and parked) just to be double sure there was nothing illegal there and went off doing things, and made absolutely sure i didn't have some kind of smuggling job. No fines, and nothing changed.

Correct.

Initially i forgot to move the grenades to storage in Almach, and was almost immediately fined 1M after jumping somewhere else. Jumped back to drop them off, then left and kept getting fined 500k. At some point i parked all other ships and took off, still got fined. Wish i had bought a shuttle or something cheap and parked everything else. just to see what would happen.

Oh I remember discovering that bug when I was looking at the code of the illegality mechanics. I wanted to fix it but I guess I kinda forgot. Oops.

It is a bug, then. You didn't have anything right now so you must not fined at all.

Reload the game (and then never put nerve gas in your cargo) and that should fix it.
