Trade Voucher/Dividend Without Wing

Hello fellow commanders! A quick question. And as Mobius is the only group I play in and because I respect our member's knowledge of the game, I'm asking here instead of on the official ED Forums.
I returned to the game about a month ago and have been loving it. I get trade dividends/vouchers when I trade and I'm not in a wing. This happens for every trade. I was away from the game when they were properly introduced so admittedly I'm not familiar with the system from its inception. However, I can't find anything in searches that says that I should be getting these vouchers when not in a wing. Is this a bug (albeit a fortunate one) just with me? Are they buggy and this just happens sometimes? Or is this how they should be working?
Thank you,
Cmdr Hobs

Do you mean the 5% you get when others in your wing trade? If so, then no, you shouldn't be getting these if your are not in a wing. It's a bug, you may want to think about reporting it, whilst you'll obviously loose out in the future, it could be seen as exploiting a bug and you could get into trouble is FD find out.

You should also post this one over on the FD forum... just to enjoy the responses...
I don't think there's anything in the Mobius rules of conduct against trolling the FD boards...

Haha that would be fun. But I think there's probably enough trolls to go around on there. It's like a troll paradise on those forums.

Is it possible that someone you winged up with months ago did some trading, and you never cashed in those vouchers 'til now?

I've only been in one wing before and that was a test wing (testing out the navlock functionality). Although I am definitely looking for more wing play now. Would love to fly in one. Anywho...
The trade dividends show up at almost every new station I trade in. Like if I trade something right now at a new station (one I haven't been to before), I will have about a 75% chance of getting a trade dividend issued to me.
So I think either it's a bug, or some game feature I don't understand. Are trade bonuses from Power Ranks issued as dividends? I am rank two with Edmund.
