[pallid ferry]

But you could be better off finding your own route, not sure if anything has changed with supply and demand

[umbral sandal]

ive never traded before so idk

[pallid ferry]

The more popular routes (gold) get visited by pirates but you're only really in trouble if they QD jam you, or have a big dps ships

If they have neither, you can usually just outrun and jump somewhere before they even break shield

Good luck

[umbral sandal]

ty im buying a c2 rn

[pallid ferry]

Ooh nice

Big money

If you can handle the waiting

If they ever actually change the way cargo works, raft will probably be king

[umbral sandal]

yeah ima try a route but idk if its good

[pallid ferry]

Well with the C2 it also depends on your initial investment

If you've got a lot of money, there are gold routes at Microtech and Crusader

[umbral sandal]

alright

[hollow sedge]

Just of note for anybody who's interested, ammo prices differ from one place to another. The former was taken in Orison, the latter in Port Olisar.

[quaint wasp]

Strange change lol

Prolly spend more on fuel then you save unless your buying like 90 mags

[kindred falcon]

Ammo is a negligible cost for me. Kinda like a business operating expense, you know it's gonna be there, so you just suck it up and take it when the need is there 😅

[hollow sedge]

they sell for like

[shell canyon]

Where is larenite selling cuz the website just screwed me over

(sc trade tools) website

[daring crescent]

anyone that does smuggling?

[worthy scroll]

Not much to smuggling right now, it's just trading but with illicit goods.

[daring crescent]

I am trying to do trading but I earn 40 k on every run, I just wanted to know if you can trade and get more profit

[worthy scroll]

If you're using a smaller ship with less cargo capability, illicit goods are going to be the better option. Just keep in mind that they have very low stock, and you'll want to not get scanned by security.

[daring crescent]

yea, I am renting the adromeda right now

[worthy scroll]

Ah. Not the best smuggling ship, you'll never fill its cargo with drugs, not enough stock. I tend to use a 315p or Nomad.

[daring crescent]

oh yea, I want to get the c2 or taruus but its SO MUCH MONEY

[worthy scroll]

The 315p can potentially make almost 60k a run, and they're short, fast runs. Problem is stock. There's usually not enough slam to fill even a ship that small.

[daring crescent]

yee I know that, the beryl never runs out of stock tho

[daring crescent]

but I make 40 k profit

[worthy scroll]

That's about as good as you're going to get without getting into more risky trading. The Andromeda isn't really a great trader with how things currently work, not enough cargo capacity. You'd want to go at least with a Taurus, but the Caterpillar and C2 are really the only ships that make bulk trading viable right now, if you're a credits per hour player.

Laranite is better, if you can actually fill with it.

Gold is best, but also extremely high risk. The routes are well known by pirates.

[daring crescent]

36 min ...

[vestal ravine]

Buying vice from the 3 drug labs can net you more crates. Some have a mission the other times you need to fly direct so you lose some playing time.

[worthy scroll]

Depends on how much running around you're willing to do while carrying hot cargo. I prefer to just do one stop then sell, not risk anything else.

[blissful flume]

how accurate is sc trade tool

dont the value change every min?

[spare cloud]

As accurate as it can. Values are never exact but it doesn't matter. If trade tools tells you your gonna make 340 845 aUEC, you might make only 337 900 or 345 823, but never negative profit. Fluctuations are minor

[frozen elk]

Any tips for dislodging stuck cargo?

Got a bunch of boxes stuck on the grid of my reclaimer

Some in mid air…

[spare cloud]

Seen a few people with this in their vultures and caterpillar. Only fix was to claim the ship.

[frozen elk]

I’ve got about 60 boxes in mid air tho 😬

[spare cloud]

Are you sure they weren't sold and just keep showing ? How much you had before selling, how much you sold ?

[frozen elk]

I had a full hold + 5 off grid, so should be 305 boxes total

But I only sold 248

[spare cloud]

Yeah

RIP

[frozen elk]

The ones stuck on the salvage processing floor I managed to dislodge, those seemed to be stuck inside a duplicate box. Put those on a different grid on that same floor

[spare cloud]

I know no fix other then claiming

[frozen elk]

That should be another 16 boxes

Tbh, I considered this ship lost after the game booted me out after being afk for a tad bit longer than I thought

Another 24 sold

[spare cloud]

How are you debugging those boxes ?

[frozen elk]

I'm not. I have no idea where the other 8 came from

I'm about to check if the 16 that I moved around on the salvage floor have been sold though

But first, going to see if I can repair the boat.

[spare cloud]

Crap, now I can't use the multitool anymore. Dangit.

Found two more boxes in the filling stations.

Hmm repair and refuel isn't working

[spare cloud]

This reclaimer is slowing dying

[frozen elk]

Yeah, it’s had a rough go of it.

Then again, this is A18, which has the most buggy pads and hangars for some reason.

Out of the 310 boxes (300 on grid, 6 off grid, 2 in front of the filler stations and two inside, I’ve managed to sell 270.

[kindred falcon]

My and my carrack don't get along with hangar 7

[frozen elk]

Hangar 11 for me.

Should have just enough QT fuel to make it to Orison still

Hmm repair and refuel is working this time around.

Hah! More boxes are coming loose!

Another 18 dislodged, 17 stuck floating.

And 18 sold. Not sure what to do about the remaining 17. Guess that’s just a loss.

What's your initial investment? How long are you willing to wait to fill between stops, are you willing to run VICE commoditiys? Is there some planet or are you refuse to fly in? Do you only want ot land in hangers on is planetary surfaces okay? All of these questions make it basically unreasonable to just give an answer, but the trade tools site will help you figure that out yourself

[mystic island]

I have plenty of money I’m doing this for fun. Assume I have infinite resources and time.

[mystic island]

Also no, the answer that should have been given was “This is the best one” and then I figure out the rest. Not deflecting from the trade channel to just go use a bot, why does everyone avoid human interaction lol

[ripe grail]

well maybe you should realize there is no "Best route" for a specific ship, all routes that are listed in the trade tools is good for any medium to large cargo size ship. So just pick one

Beryl from SMO 10 or 22 to Orison, ~400k
Beryl from HDMS Ryder to Lorville, ~275k

Gold from SCD-1 or SMO-18 to Area 18, pay varies wildly

[hollow sedge]

is it possible to buy laranite on wela then sell it on arccorp?

says wela sells it and arccorp buys it but no guide show that route so im guessing no buttttttt.... is it?

[hollow sedge]

thanks @hollow sedge but it dosent REALLY answer my question

cuz it also shows that i can buy laranite on the moon wela then just sell on arccorp

but no routes that show that

constalation taurus

its way clsoer so it should show as best route

but no it tells me to go to hurston

oh so its tiny bit more profitable

yeah

i was just wondering if its possible

tyvm

mm yes

now that i think about it i also probably prefer pure profit

[cerulean lichen]

Trying to sell my haul of salvage at the terminal and keep getting cargo removal error. Anyone ever get that trying to sell cargo?

[worthy scroll]

Bug that's been popping up lately. I haven't heard of a fix for it. I tried all sorts of things when it happened to me but ultimately lost the load of cargo.

[cerulean lichen]

Has happened to every load of salvage I try to bring in.

[worthy scroll]

Ouch. I've only heard of it being sporadic, not consistent with someone.

[cerulean lichen]

I haven’t been playing to much but every time I have tried it’s failed to work. I’m just going to go back to baldurs gate until it’s fixed. I just wonder what they broke this time to cause a bug like this.

[worthy scroll]

It happened to me the one time but hasn't since. I kept on salvaging after it happened and have been able to sell every load since.

[cerulean lichen]

Think I have to reset what I’m carrying or just keep trying with the same load to see if it will go through?

[radiant valley]

@cerulean lichen If you have any little items on your ship like a plushie it can sometimes cause an issue. Other than that I don't know of any fixes except moving it around and trying again.

@drowsy ravine Your question sounds like you want to do cargo with a lot of firepower to pilot, right ? So you'll be choosing between Corsair, that has the most firepower and some cargo capabilities, or Taurus, that has 100 more SCU, is a good cargo ship and has about 2/3 of the firepower.

If you're mostly going to do cargo, go with Taurus because the 72 SCU of the Corsair aren't much and only drugs can give you a decent profit

[radiant valley]

Personally I'd go with a Taurus, it's a great ship all around with good cargo cap and even in a fight you're probably gonna have a better time than with the Corsair. The Taurus has more HP and you're less likely to lose an engine than one of the Corsair's wings or thrusters. More missiles too which help when you're a big slow ship

And the Corsair is really slow

[spare cloud]

Taurus // Corsair

[radiant valley]

Idk the Corsair definitely flies much heavier, I don't think those numbers represent the full flight experience. Maybe it has something to do with the wings giving it more mass far from the center of gravity but it has a lot more inertia when trying to tuen

[spare cloud]

That's only how you feel about it. Corsair goes at 950 and turns 27°/s
That's what it is

[radiant valley]

Like I said I don't think those numbers represent the full flight model, it's a very small difference and I'm not even sure they're accurate. The ones on the RSI website certainly aren't, idk how erkul gets them, but I don't think it's so unbelievable that the Corsair flies differently

[worthy scroll]

(PTU) I'm doing some testing, but so far it seems like if you store a large box in the nose of the Caterpillar (the only way they fit in the ship), you do not get paid when you sell it. I've had a 3m and a 7.8m sell not pay me, both from this exact thing.

Didn't receive payment from either of these. Both were large boxes stored in the nose.

[stark echo]

I think someone else said that the only way to sell the 32 scu cargo was if it was on the hill-c? Hopefully they fix that before it rolls to the PU

[worthy scroll]

Testing continues. I'm searching for another one now, going to put it in a different ship and see if it can be sold.

It isn't just the 32scu boxes, but also the next step down, 28 I believe.

Lucked out and got another big box on the next mission.

[worthy scroll]

Ok so selling those bigger boxes does work in different ships. I was able to sell one out of a MAX with no problem.

[spare cloud]

Is the issue with these 32SCU boxes only with boxes you find ? Cause I bought lots of things and had lots of 32SCU boxes in my C2 and never had an issue to sell

[stark echo]

does that mean you can sell them in ships that are big enough for it to snap to?

[spare cloud]

I guess yes, based on this pic #industrial-professions message

[worthy scroll]

These are from salvaging missions. The error seems to be specifically with the Caterpillar, because these boxes technically don't fit in it.

[chilly junco]

There's more to it than that. The pitch/roll/yaw rates don't factor for mass and inertia; those are the numbers when completely stationary. Technically the Harbinger and Sentinel have identical stats but the Harb weighs twice as much and definitely doesn't maneuver as well

What's interesting is the Taurus weighs almost twice as much as the Corsair. Feels really good considering that

[kind trout]

So you can't store 32scu boxes in the Caty or just not in the front?

[worthy scroll]

The cargo grids in the modules of the Cat aren't big enough for the 32scu or the next size down.

[kind trout]

oh no 😦 now iam sad....was so happy to have a caty for the new boxes

[worthy scroll]

On the plus side it's probably just a bug that they can't be sold when stored there. Downside is, they really aren't meant to be stored there.

[limber shadow]

Which ship are u guys using for buying and selling goods?

[kind trout]

So working hard an buy a hercules xD

[radiant valley]

I've heard ships are currently modeled as if they're fully loaded all the time but that's supposed to change at some point. I really think the Corsair's performance has something to do with those big wings, they've said the engine models weight distribution to some degree so it makes sense that a huge wing with guns and missiles would give the ship more angular momentum when turning and make it harder to control

[vestal ravine]

For simple trade runs flying and landing the Taurus has been perfect for me.

[normal ravine]

Do you think CIG will make cargo hauling more profitable when it’s fully physicalized?

Especially for medium sized haulers.

[worthy scroll]

Probably once we get cargo missions, and not just the back and forth trading we have now.

[true acorn]

Looking to give the Hull C a test run. What routes are the best it at the moment?

None, as really there is nothing big enough to move except scrap

[polar lichen]

no

waiting on features to be done for them

[worthy scroll]

Not in 3.20. Gotta wait longer for that.

[urban sky]

but the salavge missions spawn more cargo?

[worthy scroll]

Currently on the PTU, yes, but we have no way to know if that comes to live.

[urban sky]

ok

ive just been into cargo and have a connie taurus so ive been looking for stuff to do

[worthy scroll]

(Opinion) There's no way it does in it's current state, it's just too much.

[urban sky]

do you think in your own opinion that salvage will spawn more cargo. just not as much as current live

[worthy scroll]

Probably. The amount spawning on live right now is so little there isn't much point bothering with it.

They swung a liiiiiittle too hard the other way with it on the PTU.

[urban sky]

would half of what of whats on PTU be a good sweet spot

are there new tractor beams?

[worthy scroll]

I'd say about 1/4 of what's on the PTU would be alright.

I took a mission in a Hull A earlier today and made 250k off it.

Just the one mission. Didn't even do the big boxes because Hull A.

[urban sky]

nice

[worthy scroll]

There is a big RNG element to it, you're not always going to get the good stuff. That mission in the A wasn't even the good stuff. Drugs, but the least valuable drugs.

[worthy scroll]

I did three more missions after that and didn't get anywhere near as much, maybe 100k total, minus the cost of the missions themselves. RNG.

[ripe grail]

what missions have the cargo in them? any or just ||salvage cleanups||

[tame crown]

i am new to trading mission, how much capacity does it need? can it fill a C2 hercules?

Those are OOOOOOOOOLD.

This is what it looks like these days. Probably going to change again as the MISC brand has matured a lot in its art design lately.

[lethal shard]

The pilots seat view doesn't have a lot of vertical visibility, but has good horizontal visibility. MFDs are decently located. I use my webcam for head tracking and I typically do 90° roll and pitch up for breaking using the upwards thruster so you get a good view of the ground while doing so out the left side.

[worthy scroll]

Not the best pic but the best I have without digging in my screenshots.

[vestal ravine]

I use that ship for ROC mining and it works okay. It can haul a DS and the rear turret can be fired with the I key turned off. The smaller footprint is nice also. After mining I grabbed some Gold crates and turned a 199K profit.

Last night I heard of two pirate incidents going on in chat and a third that directly impacted me.

The first two were pirate attacks by a
“Gingerofoz” at Area 18 and also “Sfer” showed up around Port Olisar. Sfer is in the top 5 of pirates from what I can tell. But 20 minutes later a counter pirate Org called NOVA declared that Sfer had been driven off and PO was safe for access. I thought that was pretty cool.

However for 50 minutes last night I was trapped at Shubin SMO-18 with a Gladius pirate clearly wanting to torment me. He/she even blocked me on foot as I was looking at 5 wrecked ships including three C-2's in the armistice zone.

Anyway I got tired of waiting for this player to vacate the area so put my gear in local and I tapped Alt F4. Did not lose much just some crates from a salvage mission I started off with.

But yea pirates are real lol!! EDIT: I logged back in and the C2 was sent back to my home planet with the crates still inside. How cool is that? No losses whatsoever. So I flew back to MT for more Gold but only got 180K worth and topped off with Aluminum. The ship was off the pad and I made sure it was powered off and hit Alt F4 again and will see if everything goes back to Orison.

[iron rune]

Looking forward to the next episode @vestal ravine

[vestal ravine]

Tried this again but the ship was in an Unknown state and I lost 300K. Even flew and checked the site no ship present. Bummer.

does ur ship have to be stored to sell the cargo?

[worthy scroll]

No

Depending on your ship size it's recommended to not store. Higher cargo loads (like the Cat or C2) have a tendency to destroy ships during storage due to a bug.

[zealous bridge]

@worthy scroll I had my ship parked in the hangar on Orison, went to sell Beryl at the place near the hotel, it let me choose my ship but didnt show any cargo. I went to store it as some guys said its better if I store it and then now it doesnt even let me choose the ship (doesnt come up as an option)

Was there another person in the ship or an object placed inside the ship?

Something not cargo, not on the cargo grid.

On the prospector can you not change the cargo bags from in cockpit. Or does it just fill all the bags whwn collectin

[vestal ravine]

For one thing the bags are only accepted at the refinery when attached to the ship. However you can switch out empty Prospector bags for Mole bags out in the field.

[polar lichen]

with a tractor beam**

which will give you 48 scu instead of 32

Right now before update what you guys think. C2 vs Caterpillar. Should I keep my caterpillar or upgrade

[worthy scroll]

Cat for style, C2 for meta.

[chilly junco]

Brunnen nailed it. In the future, if modules are implemented, the Cat will be much more versatile & customizable

I would ride it out with the Cat for a year. Hull-C might shake up the hauling meta a bit and Cat could have a glow-up.

Cat is also cheaper so you can eventually CCU your way up to the C2

[coral shale]

Is non hull c cargo gameplay changing in any way? Or is gold and beryl still the main commodities

Prices might change, I don't know if PTU prices are the same or not.

But even if the best commodity isn't the same anymore, gameplay doesn't change for haulers

What I prefer to do is have the Cat as a pledge, and use it to earn a C2 in game.

[random walrus]

hello guys i have a problems because i can't sell my cargo and somebody told me that they should be appering on the left thank you for answers

[worthy scroll]

There's a bug that causes cargo grids to not show like that if you have an object placed somewhere in the ship. The Corsair has a flask in it (comes with the ship) that can cause this.

[random walrus]

So if i remove the flask i could sell the cargo? ( i think the flask is a little golden thing in the center room of the ship)

[worthy scroll]

It should. Maybe. Bugs do be bugs. But it is a known issue.

[random walrus]

Ty so much i just started the game and id it worl you will be a hero to me

if i buy a full c2 of beryl how much extra in profit is that?

Could someone give me a quick rundown of how cargo works

[worthy scroll]

Buy at point A, sell at point B. Use the link directly over your comment to plan out routes.

[chilly junco]

Depends on where you bought & sold 🙂

[ripe grail]

Smo 10 to lorville

[chilly junco]

You bought for ~1,542,336

Sold for 1,919,568

377,232 profit

Or 19,765 aUEC/min

[limpid ice]

at which locations can you buy/sell cargo?

nevermind found the link ill try that

[stone adder]

Has anyone done a run with the hull c yet? What mats do you pick up at space stations and is it profitable?

@lean solar any more info?

[main coral]

everus to pt hull c iron only 200k profit

not worth it

[stone adder]

thats the best mat they offer?

[main coral]

dont know i just tried that

[stone adder]

alright

[ripe grail]

i cant seem to buy anything, i keep getting tranfer failed so i think cargo bugged

[sleek bramble]

anyone here know how to undock the hull from the station

[cedar flower]

its bugged RN
But a workaround I found was to contact the cargo ATC and then the normal ATC again

[tough ridge]

anyone else able to get the hull c to load the cargo? it tells me its loading but just never does anything

[sleek bramble]

yeah its weird it gave me two hull c's the first one bugged out. the second one undocked normaly but then broke again when it pulled me to the docking collar.

i swear you would think cig wouldve but the hull in for the rest of the ptu waves to further test these busted ass featurs but alas they did not

[cedar flower]

thats also bugged rn

[tough ridge]

well hopefully that gets fixed soon, cause thats pretty much all this ship does lol

[ripe grail]

cargo itself is bugged still? are we now able to sell it

[modest sun]

I've managed to load my Hull C with cargo, docked to a spaceport, and now it won't let me undock 💀

I think if you dock with a full load of cargo / with the ship extended, you can't undock anymore

[cedar flower]

contact cargo services and then the normal ATC
sometimes that works

[vestal ravine]

I have a C2 full of Beryl. Don't buy the max amount that failed for me. Manually use the slider. When I get to orison will not store ship to sell. Fyi...

[ripe grail]

as in it wont let you sell?

[vestal ravine]

Still in transit

[ripe grail]

ah, well i heard its bugged if you sell it deletes the cargo

[vestal ravine]

F4 Landing views all screwy then stepping off ship elevator ejected into Orison space so Alt F4. Just going to let it be for tonight.

[faint kelp]

Dude this shit is wack. The cargo transfer doesn’t even work

[vestal ravine]

At the mining stations?

[faint kelp]

At any station

The Hull C can’t take any cargo apparently

Because I’m stuck at “Commencing Cargo Transfer 00:00”

Bunch of fuckin bullshit

[ripe grail]

yeah the c2 elevator is bugged, let it complete the full elevator animation, then get on and off, otherwise it glitches and flings you

[urban sky]

is general or personal better for salvage missions when it comes to cargo

[ripe grail]

personal 30k missions but i heard people arent getting them to spawn the missions, even after doing salvagin

[urban sky]

ye

it only showed me the 10k missions

[lapis magnet]

I CTD while loading a Hull-C...came back and it was impounded. Tried to fly down to orison, and it reclaimed all my cargo, and didnt even give me a refund for the purchased cargo...that they still have.

Come with me, as I now do a Zero2Hero run, involuntarily....lawl

[open canopy]

They probably couldnt get enough players in the PTU, so released it to the PU 🤣

[torn moss]

Guys I have a HULL C filled with Helium where do I sell it?

[main coral]

Idk any good routes

Tried iron 200k profit not worth it

[real summit]

But. It was for ptu, dunno if its good info for live

[opal yoke]

I assume the HUll C is only pledge based and not yet in any store as per usual?

[spare cloud]

Correct

[opal yoke]

Okay, question then. Where would you rank the HULL? Is it a better hauler than the C2? Or is it just a novelty? Equal?

[faint kelp]

In my experience

Stick to the C2

You turn fairly much the same profit by running beryl from Ita to Lorville

And for the Hull C, it is a dice roll on whether or not the Cargo Transfer even works

So currently, I’d argue that the C2 is more useful

[faint kelp]

Hope that helps

[opal yoke]

AH so its cargo is a little wonky?

[teal crater]

Did they make trading profitable again?

[faint kelp]

Extremely wonky. Lost 680k worth of Helium trying to get it to work

[opal yoke]

Oh damn.

Well, will have to try once it hits stores which I assume will be .21 or so

Guess i'm trading in my others haha

[sage spire]

Trading in the Hull C is broken atm anyway.

[vestal ravine]

My C2 trade at Orison worked/sold like normal...

[south barn]

Is it? I just did it no problem.

[lone sage]

Where can hull c sell scrap?

[sage spire]

I think theres a bug with the docking and the cargo spawning for the Hull C. I'm just going of various peoples experience with it.

[lone sage]

Yeah its just not unloading cargo 90% of the time or loading it

[faint kelp]

Yep

I’m honestly shocked so few people actually are talking about this major issue

[lone sage]

yeah, the cargo ship cant run cargo

????

[faint kelp]

Literally no posts on Reddit, no YT vids

No issue council

[lone sage]

I can go make an issue thing right now how do i

[faint kelp]

And if you stay still in the cargo zone, your ship literally fucking despawns

[lone sage]

yeah cuz you're apparently blocking a landing zone

[faint kelp]

They sold a 500 dollar ship with 0 functionality

[spare cloud]

Most people don't own a Hull - C 🤷

[jade oracle]

anyone encountered this issue

i went to daymar picked up some cargo. flew to arc corp to sell. Everytime i tried to sell it said "Removal of cargo failed" after a couple tries all my cargo got wiped and i was left with no money

[faint kelp]

This is the problem of “overhauling” when done improperly

[jade oracle]

huh? can you explain, i just got into flying cargo

[faint kelp]

Did you do Hauling last patch?

I’m saying Overhaul as in a big update

[jade oracle]

yes a couple times

but i never encountered this issue

i had 800k in cargo just vanish

[faint kelp]

The update to Hauling has made it almost entirely unplayable

[jade oracle]

Good to know - Guess i'll stick to bounties and bunkers for awhile then

[faint kelp]

Yep

Good idea

[uncut grotto]

How much of a profit can the Hull C currently make on a run?

[quartz valley]

Ohhhh stowage. Damn. Thanks for the answer, cheers

[drowsy ravine]

lost my connie in the update, dont have the uec to buy a new one, is the RAFT a good hauler? not really looking for an all around ship just cargo runs

[obsidian aspen]

some love the raft, i personally hate it. Argo's ships fly like bricks, and fall like them too.

[tough lichen]

I find the raft handles a lot better than it used to. Although it is definitely still a brick. I don't like hauling with my raft because you have to load each of the three cargo boxes separately. I have also heard that items (particularly drugs) don't sell correctly and break your raft until you claim a new one

[drowsy ravine]

im just looking to haul minerals mostly not contraband, if not the raft does anyone have any recommendations for roughly around the same price and cargo hold?

[cedar flower]

I have 5 UEC left XD

high risk trading

[faint kelp]

Lmfao truly high risk

Tbh I’m half tempted to sell my Hull C

[sage spire]

Dam... can you even afford a burrito?

[cedar flower]

keep it
its only getting better
in 3.20.1 it should get its tractor beams

and later we get cargo missions

thats where the Hull will shine

[faint kelp]

I don’t care about any of that rn, I just want it to be able to function

As it stands it’s one of the buggiest ships

[cedar flower]

yes
wait a few days for people to use it less, and for the bugs to be fixed

remember:
never play on patch day

[faint kelp]

My brother in Christ, they need to fix the whole cargo system

It’s not just bugged for Hull C

[cedar flower]

its currently working for me

whats wrong with the other cargo system?

[faint kelp]

Places taking your cargo without paying, The loading zones being a dice roll on if they’ll work or not, piracy being a huge issue because there’s only 4 places for the Hull C to grab a load from

[cedar flower]

yes, these are hull C specific bugs
just wait a few days for them to get fixed

[faint kelp]

They aren’t hull c specific :/

In particular that first issue

[cedar flower]

so let me get this straight
you want to sell your hull, because of server bugs that affect all ships?

thats just dumb
I'd rather wait for the bugs to get fixed

[faint kelp]

I would go back to using a Redeemer lol

Who’s to say they’ll even be fixed in the coming months

[cedar flower]

these kind of bugs are usually fixed relatively fast

as I said
just wait...

That worked thanks

The only places you can sell with a Hull C are the same places you can buy from with a Hull C.

[brisk nymph]

Would the Aegis Reclaimer be good at trading?

I know its the best scavenger, but Im curios if it could do trading well

[lost barn]

Eh I have tried and don't recommend it

It's a very unruly ship to fly, especially in atmosphere. You'll waste a lot of time getting out of the atmosphere just to quant to an OM

Also landing is annoying since a lot of places can't fit it. I preferred running a C2

[tropic barn]

how to undock with full cargo loaded

the landing zone just won't willing to undock hull C

[quick narwhal]

Would it be do able to do this with the C2 or is there a better option?

Which all trading was broken yesterday. I wasn't getting paid for most materials

[quick narwhal]

Nevermind. Some of the time cargo isn't paying out

[cedar flower]

yeah
just had the same

I did some salvage missions in my corsair and transfered the cargo from the ships
didnt get payed for any of that cargo

I have had a Roc on it and did okay.

It's very easy to fly and land. Well behaved ship.

[wraith ice]

is there a work around for Cargo transfer request not detecting ship in its space

[rough ingot]

Is the c2 specifically broken? 2 times now it's bugged at the sell terminal, my valkyrie and phoenix no issue

First time it said failed to remove cargo, did remove it and didn't pay

This time it's not even acknowledging the ships existence

[upper geyser]

park it and store it takes longer but if you really want to play it should work fine

[frail roost]

Note: do not try to rearrange cargo in your hold while in Quantum. It gets sucked into the void.

[rough ingot]

PSA: cargo selling transactions are failing and eating your goods because of different commodities being vertically stacked, avoid doing this

[vestal ravine]

I think pirates stole my C2 at Daymar I came out the mining station no ship. (Did it de-spawn??) So I Alt f4 and went to a new region the ship was at an unknown location. Later when I checked it was at Yela I figured pirates had it. I did a claim...Not sure what happened I get off the elevator backwards as I send it back up. Be careful.

[rough ingot]

How long were you outside?

[tall karma]

So I had some cargo I tried to sell tonight, and it said something about being unable to transfer cargo, but still took that and some other cargo from the ship.

Is there an order you need to sell stuff in?

It was scavenged cargo from bounty targets, so a lot of mismatched contraband and such

[rough ingot]

@tall karmadude.

[rough ingot]

you didnt even have to scroll up for this

[tall karma]

lol, I didn't read the chat just asked the question - im tired!

So stack nothing vertically if you can avoid it, got it.

[rough ingot]

as stated dont vertically stack shit unless its the same

it will consume both products that are stacked on each other

lost 4scu of weevil eggs and plenty of drugs this way

[tall karma]

Yeah, lost some maze and like 20SCU of widow that way

[lost barn]

So is it better to just trade one commodity at a time?

[silent ivy]

just dont stack different things on each other

[vestal ravine]

I had parked off the pads and maybe 60 feet away in the open but I could not see the ship from the porch of SCD-1. There were other things going on from chat I was going to buy a Railgun and that party was coming to my site. When I first got there I had been without a helmet because of the Inv. lockup and I thought I could stand the air on Daymar and I had opened the back ramp. Just barely down the ramp I began to choke so closed the ramp and remembered I had some gear of the ship including a helmet and that's when I took the elevator back off the ship and to the SCD 1 building. On that porch I turned back around and looked out and a smaller fighter flew overhead and downwards and I suspect it may have been pirates? But I loaded up the ship anyways since I was in armistice and have waited out pirates before. Anyway I think there may have been an invisible player at the site in which case they have all the advantages unless you "fake buy" cargo, go back to ship and check Comms for a second player then go back out to buy but that is not foolproof either.

[vestal ravine]

Not really the auto loading will keep the cargo seperated from what I know. If you are more concerned just wait a week or so until these glitch issues get patched out and keep informed on discord, Spectrum and game chat. Don't buy more that you are willing to lose.

I was able to BUY last night but don't use the MAX slider button just buy partial amounts of what you want. Also when selling maybe sell partial amounts and see what happens just be informed and if you are tight on money sit out for a week or so.

[uneven sun]

What's people's go to cargo route in 3.20 with SC trade tools not being updated currently? Haven't played since 3.18 so unsure what's good currently

Feel free to DM if you don't want it public 🤣

[bright spindle]

So asking a questions that has likely been asked before, but what purpose does the cargo channel serve in the stations?

[spare cloud]

I think that's the same think as this keybind, like Comms station is the same thing as Alt + N just above.

IIrc it's only for the Hull C for now

[vestal ravine]

Hi, are you referring to the Hull C operations? The Admin terminals buy things like ROC gems and other things you collect on the planets or moons surfaces.

[bright spindle]

Im just curious as to the process of the cargo loading atm. Im not sure how it all works and i was wondering the best way to transfer cargo from station-to-ship or ship-to-ship at a station

[spare cloud]

For now, transfering cargo is a simple spawm/despawn cargo in your ship like magic, except for the Hull C

And ship to ship, tractor beam multi tool

[vestal ravine]

The whole cargo thing is more complicated now with the Hull C and the salvage looting aspect.

[bright spindle]

So you can only really take cargo from station to hull c and from hull c to station then correct?

[spare cloud]

No. Hull C is the only ship that has a loading time (and animation?). That doesn't meant it's the only ship that can buy/sell to stations. Other ships just are instantly loaded the moment you buy something, like magic

[bright spindle]

Ah ok, so each station will have a commidity terminal to interact with to buy and fill things up with. So your ship would have to be spawned and own a pad/dock/hangar to fill then yes?

And said goods are limited to what you can buy/sell*

[spare cloud]

Correct, your ship has to be at the station, stored or not.

[vestal ravine]

What kind of trade do you have or are thinking of getting?

[bright spindle]

Ok. And there is no way to transfer cargo from one ship to another at the station without selling and/or buying it. It has to be hand transfered then.

[vestal ravine]

trade ship

[spare cloud]

Yes, transferring from ship to ship has to be done with the use of tractor beams, the station won't do it for you

[bright spindle]

So here is the hypothetical situation in my head. I would like to buy beryll at a mining facility and then transport it across the system in one trip to sell. So it would essentially be parking my Hull C in orbit, then using a cargo ship to ferry goods from the ground to the air, transport then across the system, and then ferry them back down using a cargo ship. All hand loading and unloading.

[vestal ravine]

I don't think the Hull C can accept hand loaded crates yet???? The Hull A can however.

[spare cloud]

I'd say it's worth the try

[bright spindle]

Well i know what im gonna do today

[spare cloud]

So basically buying with C2, loading HullC, transporting goods and unloading Hull C in C2 to sell ?

[bright spindle]

Essentially

[spare cloud]

I don't know if snapping two 16SCU boxes on a HullC makes them 1 32SCU box, but if it doesn't, I'd suggest you only buy amounts of cargo that makes only 32SCU boxes in your HullC

[bright spindle]

Taking a ship in and out of storage might. Does the Hull C only accept the 32 SCU crates?

[spare cloud]

That's one more thing I don't know

[vestal ravine]

Just let us know what happens would be great. Otherwise if it don't work you are talking about an upgrade that is 5 or 10 years down the road.

[spare cloud]

Yes please let us know how it goes ❤️

[bright spindle]

Lmao im gonna see if i can get a friend or someone on to try, ive got some Beryll and Diamond on a M2 id like to try and transfer

[rough ingot]

Make sure to not vertically stack them on each other

[tropic barn]

i can't load cargo with my Hull C at Baijing Point

[bright spindle]

What do you mean by that?

Vertically relative to the storage plane or relative to the ship

[rough ingot]

Don't put different commodities on top of each other on the grid

The sale will fail and take your stuff anyway

Only put diamond on diamond, etc

[bright spindle]

Ok

[vestal ravine]

There are glitching issues with the Hull C. Please read the patch notes or Spectrum threads about any workarounds.

[bright spindle]

Speaking glitching issues

Hopping in this for experimentation and i saw this in the hangar

[vestal ravine]

So the P 52 wanted to be a landing leg?

[rough ingot]

Seems to fix itself if you store retrieve again, it becomes operational too

[rough ingot]

Prompts are missing when it's like that, they return if it's oriented right

Oh I guess not

[bright spindle]

It would appear so

Yeah i cant move it lmao

[rough ingot]

Surprised you could even get in

But yeah its working if it's not vertical

[bright spindle]

So the problem actually comes getting out

[dark swift]

anyone else having an issue where selling cargo fails and then it gets deleted?

god damnit....sometimes I should just try reading a few lines above me first....

[rough ingot]

LOL

[bright spindle]

A repeating legacy

[rough ingot]

His excuse is by now it's much higher

The initial psa anyway

[tropic barn]

i bought 2 types of cargo at BJ station, docked at Cargo Bay and the timer just remain 00:00, what is the workaround

[bright spindle]

@spare cloud @vestal ravine

[spare cloud]

So you can snap other boxes, not only 32 SCU ones. Wonderful

[bright spindle]

Yes

[tropic barn]

the problem is, putting commodities into Hull C by hand are kinda pointless

the time that moving commodities from C2 to Hull C just not worth the effort

[bright spindle]

Maybe not to you, i play the game how i want to play it

The game needs a cargo storage system on stations and a cargo transfering system from ship to ship inside the station

[tropic barn]

which should be done by Argo ship? just like Hull C in trailer

[bright spindle]

But if they have a method of automatically loading and unloading the ship via the station services, both for docked ships and ships inside the hangar, there should be some way to store cargo to the station then load it to the ship. Outside of the station yes i would agree, or if they had a designated cargo area outside the station to be a space forklift then i would agree. but currently it would probally be easier to implement a system to store cargo to the station then to the ship than to create a ship to do it outside the station with a ship that hasnt been implemented into the game yet or if its the RAFT that your speaking of the ability to do anything with cargo

[misty wave]

failed cargo transfer failed

anyone else got this?

[dark swift]

had that too. It was suggested that you don't stack multiple different types of cargo on top of each other. Keep them separated. Seems to have worked for me

[misty wave]

my ship was empty 🙂

[cloud condor]

what is a good trading route for the hull c?

[spare cloud]

That's basically all the routes available with a Hull C

[frail roost]

I was able to run a mixed load in my C2 earlier, I just took a minute before launching to manually re-stack the crates to avoid vertical mixing.

The new 32SCU crates are super-nice for that, much better than dealing with 696x 1SCU boxes.

I had 2 bounties tonight with 32SCU of green weevil egs which were 3.5/3.8mil each

[quick narwhal]

Dude I had over 100 scu maze, and lagged so hard I crashed FML

[spring prism]

Probably the thing I'm most eager about, is cargo hauling between systems. Like, let's say Pyro doesn't have any naturally occuring deposits of Beryl. It would be in extreme demand across that entire system.

[lethal shard]

is cargo buying a selling currently a no-go until hotfix?

or is it mostly fine?

[silent ivy]

seems to be player to player a different experience

[lethal shard]

I like those odds

holy shit if you like left and right mouse click on cargo terminals you can click the number of scu you want to buy and type

its a bit hit and miss, but I like to buy exactly 100 Laranite for my Freelancer MAX and sell at the Orphanage then run drugs on the return trip. I was forever clicking trying to buy as close to 100 as I could

ya I couldn't be bothered, it was salvaged so no true loss at end of day

[prisma wing]

grimhex

drugs

wallow

and mace

[weak lantern]

I tried at reclamation on hurston, drugs. couldn't select ship as well

there was ships abandoned everywhere

[prisma wing]

fr I saw that at daymar

[weak lantern]

maybe try storing ship unless you can't afford the loss. either way you might be out of luck

[prisma wing]

I was going 30k missions and scooping cargo so annoying :/

[weak lantern]

it was my first one so I never saw the profit is it worth doing?

Cargo still fucked rn?

[chilly junco]

Don't stack different kinds on top of each other

[frail roost]

It may or may not survive a hotfix patch (3.20.0a or whatever)

[kind monolith]

Hi, whats the biggest cargo ship?

[vestal ravine]

The Hercules C2 for standard cargo (696scu) but the new Hull C has much more but has limited use cases.

[limber shadow]

anyone experiencing a bug where you are able to sell your cargo but you dont get the money?

[pallid ferry]

Yeah I've had this, seemed to happen during server backend hiccups

Still not got the money and it's been days

[limber shadow]

maybe its just not the time to trade now

bounty hunter goes good

[bitter ferry]

It happens to me on 1/5 transactions. I find it's a good idea to just sell a few commodities at a time rather than the entire slider at once

[nimble epoch]

Any word of if they are fixing it and if there is a patch for it soon? i wana go back mining

[bitter ferry]

According to comments on issue 63376, materials that aren't in a stack of boxes will sell correctly 🤔

I have some materials refining but I'll have to test this when they're completed tomorrow

Would be interesting if it's not to do with the server but the physical layout of the boxes

Also an interesting theory - by never selling the entire box of a material, the layout of the cargo bay never changes, meaning the issue cannot occur.

[nimble epoch]

i see this method used but never explain if it works for mixed freight.

The issue that happens the most is when fixed frieght is sold.

[bitter ferry]

Their theory is that selling a box under another box causes the above box to despawn, which causes the sell failure. If so, then this should also mean mixed cargo will sell correctly since the grid layout never changes until the very last unit is sold.

I definitely want to test this out properly since I sell a lot of mixed ores.

I guess I could just find a mining post and buy a bunch of random low value commodities

[rough ingot]

No, just dont stack mixed commodities

stacking maze on top of etam or w.e causes it to fail and delete

[tall karma]

What if you took a Hull C into atmo to a mining station with a friend in the pilot seat and you in a small ship that can land and access the kiosk to buy cargo without landing the HC? I used to do this in a carrack. As long as I was in armistice it let me get cargo.

[spare cloud]

Weren't doing this alone with the carrack, with a 2nd ship inside carrack hangar ?

Because AFAIK, you can't buy anything if someone is inside the ship

Dunno how that is for Hull C tho

[tall karma]

Ahh yes that's true but also a really weird and dumb restriction

I tried selling yesterday with someone inside and it wouldn't let me, which was dumb since they were my armed guard.

I wonder how hard it would be to get in and out in of the hull c with like a pisces.

[bitter ferry]

Welp, in hoping to test cargo selling I just ended up with my ship being stuck in Moving To Storage and didn't even make it to selling

Ah well

[bitter ferry]

Alright, so I got to sell it eventually and can confirm selling all but one does NOT work with mixed cargo. However, the boxes that were layered on top all sold successfully, while the boxes below did not.

So the best rule of thumb seems to be to as mentioned, ideally not mix cargo, but if you must, try to sell the top layer first before the bottom.

[flint depot]

When manually loading stuff, (from salvage for example) I imagine you'd just stack the same materials on itself and only the same materials? and only Sell all of it?

[bitter ferry]

You can sell in whatever quantities you like, but it appears that if you bury a crate under another crate of a different material, selling that buried crate may fail.

It may also in turn cause the crate that was on top of it to disappear

[paper flume]

idk about quantities, but the rest of what you said is correct. i think its buggy about selling 50 scu of something when you only have 32scu crates of it, because i dont think itll take a partial crate and leave you with the remainder, if that makes sense

i had a load of maze yesterday (only maze, nothing else, so stacking didnt matter) and ran into failed transactions and i think its because i only had 32scu containers of it

[bitter ferry]

That's interesting, thanks for chipping in. I'd assume if you tried to sell part of a 32SCU crate it would just keep the 32SCU crate until it's fully depleted - as would be logical in real life - but I couldn't say for certain.

It's probably not a coincidence though that this bug cropped up at the same time as we had all these new container sizes added

[paper flume]

i agree that would be logical, however something was messing up. that being said, i did have some of those crates stacked, so maybe the bottom crate sold first?

maybe i will grab a 32scu crate of something and see if i can sell part of it and report back

[spare cloud]

Don't do it with something expensive in case it doesn't work and you can't even retrieve your ship.

Let us know how it goes ❤️

[lost barn]

Last night I tried the hull c and the cargo simply wouldn't want to load. I tried everything from the patch notes and still wouldn't work. IDK if you guys have anything else to try that might help

[tall karma]

Try parking it close to the ground in armistice above a mining station. Suicide, fly back in a ship like the Pisces and use the cargo terminal to see if it loads, then ferry yourself back inside with the Pisces. No idea if that's possible because I have never seen the entry mechanics of the HC.

Then you just gotta impound at a planet like MT, sell, and go claim at a station.

[lost barn]

Damn yeah, I think I'm just gonna wait for the patch to fix it unless I have more time to spare 😔

[tardy fjord]

does gem selling not work?

[spiral pulsar]

I would urge everyone to avoid trading/selling commodities and refined ores at the moment, there is a good chance the transaction fails and you lose the cargo without receiving payment

[frail roost]

Try making sure the Cargo Grid sub-category is selected?

[tardy fjord]

its in my ship inventory

i looted it at outposts

[frail roost]

Ah, right. No clue then.

[cedar flower]

there is a workaround for that
dont stack different commodity types above another

[tall karma]

I don't think ores are "stacked". Pretty sure they just show up in the inventory (I) location, they don't go into the cargo hold like cargo items.

Assuming the seller is mining them with a ROC or something other than buying them in crates at trading console.

[lament knot]

which planet should i go to for mining? noob here

oh wrong place to ask

[timid oyster]

has the cargo removal failed bug been fixed yet if it hasnt is there a workaround

[turbid rampart]

no confrimed not working with no work around

[rough ingot]

not fixed, refrain from stacking different commodities

ie: ONLY stack gold on top of gold, slam on top of slam, etc

you mix them, it fails and deletes both

[mild pumice]

I don't think the corsair supposed to hold that much lol - must be over 150scu 😄

[dusky wave]

Does the Hull-C work better now?

or like at all?

[mild pumice]

It should be working, servers are doing better now but it's a lot of risk for the same return you can do a salvage haul

[dusky wave]

I don't mind as long as I don't loose money lol

or get stuck with cargo

[mild pumice]

Well it's always a risk lol

[spare cloud]

Scan it / tractor it. It now shows the name for every box

[bitter ferry]

Ah, fantastic

[vestal ravine]

You can help mitigate the problems with 30k by going to your primary spawn location and pulling your ship out. (Don’t go to a TDD untill after you visually inspect the cargo)

You’ll find that if your out in a ship and it 30k’s. Your ship will be sent to your prim location. If however you go straight to a TDD to sell you’ll find that the cargo won’t be registered on the cargo grid.
To get around this pull your ship out. And by visually inspecting the cargo. Will force it to spawn on the ships cargo grid and register. You’ll then be able to put the ship away and sell your stuff

NOTE: I copied the above from another thread does it make sense?

apearently you can just enter the Hull C when you arent owner and the owner is unable to lock the ship

[unkempt spade]

what are some good trade routes to do with smaller ships like a corsair

[barren marsh]

Well, I typically fill up on beryl get halfway to microtec and 30k, then wait around 10m to recover my ship at port tressler, QT to NB and CTD as soon as I drop out of QT and lose the whole load.

But seriously though, decide what level of risk your comfortable with. Gold is high risk, but has some nice payouts IF you can buy cargo and dodge pirates, 30k’s, and CTD’s. Drugs pay nice but you have to add on limited buy volumes and police scans.

Nothing else in game comes remotely close to the inflated income of risky ‘salvage’ missions though

I like to run beryl because it’s legal, so no police scans, and not the highest profit margin, so less pirates and competition from other haulers

[radiant plank]

will hurston security target me if i have e'tam?

[rose cove]

I love a strategy that integrates 30k's

[tall karma]

They are random. I have been hit twice for hauling illegal goods, once over the salvage yard and once just in orbit. It's just a CS2 if you run and then you can pay it, but if you power down you lose the cargo and still get the CS

[mild pumice]

so if you get the message 'cargo removal failed' is your cargo gone and you get no credits?

Guess I will need to be super careful stacking

[verbal cargo]

its been suggested to stack only the same cargo on top of each other, or if you have a good memory start selling from the top down

[mild pumice]

All the rubbish stuff sold and I lost the only decent cargo from the haul so 100k haul was like 15k

Yeah I thought I had tbh but I must've mixed some lol

[bitter ferry]

Yeah I had 100% success just now selling in single stacks

ie. no boxes on top of each other

But I expect it also works if said stacks are the same material

[bitter ferry]

Also I find it helps to pick trade routes with longer distances. The less optimal the route, the less likely you are to see it targeted by pirates.

It also means you're more likely to be able to sell, because of increased demand at those outposts.

[bitter ferry]

In fact, just did another haul - taking the time to rearrange everything into same-type stacks - and again, 100% success.

So yeah, keep that pyrotool handy ;)

(and don't try removing the box at the bottom of the stack unless you want to witness physics chaos)

[frail roost]

Twice I’ve ended up prone, clipped into a 32-crate, due to physics issues.

[bitter ferry]

I just ended up nearly putting my Hull A on it's side

[frail roost]

[nimble epoch]

Did this update fix the cargo thing?

[mild pumice]

Somewhat

There's still issues such as cargo going into the void when you try and sell it

I'm losing credits as fast as I'm making them lol

[frail roost]

Are you checking your stacks before selling?

[mild pumice]

Yeah I'm being careful but still seeing issues

Tryna sell top down or keep on one level

I might claim my ship in case the grid is bugged

How's the hull c loading and unloading with this patch?

NVM they just posted a new one saying it's fixed. I'll give it a try soon!

[livid leaf]

What is one scu of e’tap worth

Asking for a friend

[tall karma]

No it didn't

[warm sapphire]

OK so I am told the A2 isn't a good choice compared to the C2 or M2 for doing the illegal 30k salvage mission looting, because it has much less cargo.

Thing is, once I get to 200 cargo, I kinda want to sell my haul anyways at the scrapyard. I don't think I would want to keep adding more cargo past then because if I die at the scrapyard before selling it, I lose all that time.

And the A2 could drop some bombs on the scrapyard before I go to the terminal so that I can clear any rats and be much more safe selling that smaller haul? Does this make sense or is this stupid.

Also would it be possible to hover the A2 over the terminal, while a gunner sits on the turrets, and I go sell the items or does the ship have to be landed to sell the items

[spare cloud]

Make sense to me

You can't buy/sell if someone is in your ship

[tall karma]

@warm sapphire the A2 is fine. People are too focused on what the cargo grid holds. You can put 14 32 SCU containers in an A2. 6 of them in grid, the rest just stacked.

You can also put a Pisces in the rear over the bomb compartment and fly it down instead of landing the ship, but it's more hassle than needed. Just have your friend cover you on the ground by the terminal and make sure to close the ship/elevator while selling.

[silent chasm]

Anyone tried loading the Hull C yet?

[frail roost]

That Quant was roughly 5m aUEC.

[warm sapphire]

why the hercules ships are so cheap?

[spare cloud]

Because they're basically just empty shells with thrusters

5mil a good budget already 🤷

[warm sapphire]

I would have guessed 15mil based on the cost of the other ships in the game but idk much just seems like that much cargo and maneuverability and the weapons and shields and all that would be worth more.

[spare cloud]

They're quit small ships compared to a Reclaimer for example. And it's also about the functionnalities of the ship.

[warm sapphire]

nice

[spare cloud]

As I said, Hercules are just empty shells, except for the A2 that has a little gun n bombs bonus

Reclaimer, in comparison, is a very complete salvaging/munching ship

Should do all my comparisons with reclaimer but you get the idea

[delicate girder]

So I have a Hull A and am about to slightly upgrade it to a Freelancer. Any game play reasons why I might want hold off in 3.20?

[frail roost]

Freelancer Max has a larger cargo bay, but both it and the base model require loading from the rear and have some of their cargo space restricted to 2SCU or 1SCU crates due to a doorway from the main hold. This is in contrast to the Hull A's external cargo plates.

[delicate girder]

Yep. Can a regular lancer take one 16 SCU create in the back? I like the ease of loading of the Hull A but don't like the fagility and etreme lack of speed. If I spent the money to go to the Lancer MAX, I'd just go to a Taurus for a little more instead.

[timid oyster]

GENIUS! i just have one question how

[delicate girder]

Wow! Was that found on a contract ship?

[timid oyster]

also which connie is that?

[pseudo rain]

i usually throw that into the void, takes too much space

especially when there's 4 of them

32scu

not worth

man i'm bummed i just lost my c2 with like 200 scu of maze

[frail roost]

The base Lancer can take a 32 crate wrapped in 2-crates, I believe.

[delicate girder]

Wow, isn't a 32 crate twice as long as a 16? Didn't think the back of a regular lancer was that long.

[spare cloud]

Yeah they are

[timid oyster]

f

[frail roost]

Max and base Lancer hold grid is 9SCU long, 32s are 8 long

[delicate girder]

Are the ship tractor beams in 3.20 live or is it still hand tractor?

[spare cloud]

Hand

Iirc, ship tractor is for 3.20.X

[timid oyster]

whats the best variant of the connie for taking cargo from wrecks

[delicate girder]

Well if the Lancer can take a 32 SCU crate that's a big plus the Hull A can't do so I'm definitely pulling the trigger on the Hull A to Lancer upgrade I already have.

[frail roost]

Taurus has the biggest cargo capacity.

[spare cloud]

Taurus

[delicate girder]

Taurus is my favorite for many reasons! Even for hauling snub(s) I like it more!

[timid oyster]

its also gonna have a ship tractor beam soonTM right?

[delicate girder]

yep

[frail roost]

Iirc the Taurus has a tractor in place of the snub bay

[delicate girder]

Nope. In place of the lower turret.

[timid oyster]

nah it ditches the snub for more cargo the tractor beams the lower turret

[spare cloud]

Also, Taurus bottom turret, the one supposed to have the tractor beam, can currently have a S2 weapon equipped on.

[delicate girder]

two s2s

[spare cloud]

That's just a bug, and just 1 S2 weapon, but worth knowing and having if you do multicrew

[spare cloud]

1 S2

It's supposed to have zero

[delicate girder]

Oh yeah. Misread what you said.

If you equiped it could you do anything with it?

[spare cloud]

Yeah, you can fire with it

It works just like top turret or bottom turret on andromeda. But only 1x S2

[delicate girder]

Nice accident in the short term. Wonder if it has twice the capacitor? Could probably fire constantly if so.

[supple kestrel]

o damn thank u

[tall karma]

Has anyone ever inquired about the seemingly arbitrary rule that a ship must be empty of crew for cargo to be sold?

I feel like having armed guards on board to protect your cargo makes a great deal of sense (armored truck) yet the game mechanics prevent this.

[charred ledge]

My guess is it's related to not being able to track what items are in what inventory. If it's in the ship it's ship inventory.

[neat light]

hello. I am trying to do a hull c trade route (helium). I'm new, so basic steps may have been missed. I Delievered the hull c (not retrieve), purchased the helium from serraphim (selected Hull c as destination) and then retrieved the ship. I did not intially realize I had to goto a cargo area, and left... then saw the message, and came back to serraphim. I did not see where to go for loading cargo. I tried calling cargo, but they did not respond. my timer then ended for cargo pickup. Question, did I lose this cargo? am I out 900k? is there a way to get this back?

[neat light]

Second question: I tried buy a small amount of helium for round 2... I got the cargo and went to another space station (currently at Everus Harbor). I initiated docking procedures, but cant dock because my hull c is extended with cargo. Am i supposed to contact cargo services first? How do I get rid of this stuff? My worry is that once I initiated docking procedures, cargo services wont talk to me

[neat light]

ok, so i guess I have to dock, store ship, process the sale of helium, then retrieve the ship ship, request cargo, then goto cargo area... and wait. Problem is I did all that, im sitting in the blue box, and cargo services isnt doing anything and the count down is counting down.... till 0

[spare cloud]

Hull C trading is heavily bugged and I would advise against it until it's completely fixed

[desert wyvern]

best salvage to look out for in the risky salvage missions? is there a good list you guys keep track of?

[tall karma]

MAZE/Weevil Eggs are top value per SCU. Quant/Slam probably next best value. Then anything in really big containers that is easy to pack and unload like E'tam/Widow - but avoid metals and such as they tend to be a pain to sell for very little return.

[desert wyvern]

what about neon + where can i sell quant ? it doesn't seem to work at brios

[tall karma]

quant is TDD, neon is middle area

like Slam sells for 2x the price of Neon.

[desert wyvern]

gotcha, tysm

brios still crowded? should i avoid it?

[rough ingot]

no way, shit works way more 400+ away than within 100

if it fails just point somewhere else on the ship and try again and get frustrated that this mechanic is still broken
