[abstract root]

cargo elevators have beenn fine for me

[mild agate]

On the mining facilities?

[abstract root]

yeah

smo18 and the shubin one on daymar are fine

[ocean compass]

i have yet to try this patch

last patch every elevator was broken by some fools

[abstract root]

yeah, theyre good now

oh and its mining facility ---> city for me

[mild agate]

Thanks for the reply crain, I'll give it another go tomorrow

[amber delta]

Is there a way to split the containers or that gold will be there forever?

[pearl juniper]

why do you need to split it?

oh, you bought a 32 at an outpost?

I thought they fixed it so you couldn't do that anymore

[ocean compass]

he bought 10x 24SCU 1 shot

the 10x SCU containers cannot be brought up, lift only takes 4x 24SCU at one go

i dont know of a way to split the container, sorry. right click does nothing i think

[coarse cape]

So uh is there a workaround or no

[eternal jay]

should I be min/maxxing for the taurus? So only 4x24 scu boxes and 2x8 scu boxes? Instead of doing that and then trying to place 14x4 scu boxes physically on top of all that

also can this be pinned because it has the zeus now updated

[ocean compass]

the drop down selection bar is bugged

go through the list of items to find the ship. normally 3rd from top down is your ship

but you know your on the right selection when you see the cargo amount

[tawdry light]

Am I able to snap 24 SCU boxes onto scrapyard elevator grids?

[amber delta]

Well there it goes 1M on gold, thank anyway.

[pallid talon]

Yes

They gotta be straight on and not on a side angle

[lyric tusk]

very weird choice CIG made with the Starlancer MAX to not have a full grid in the back

[foggy jay]

probably meant for dedicated garage?

[leaden monolith]

Flip your thinking upside down. Load up the 4 scu crates first then put the larger ones on top. I find that much easier but I rarely do it. simply because it's time consuming. I just load up 2x24 and 2x32 but then since Cargo Empires dropped I've avoided trading with outposts and do station to station or city.

[zealous kindle]

is it out?

also yeah its v weird

[pallid talon]

Ptu yes

Live no

[zealous kindle]

guess im downloading ptu

[pearl juniper]

Ohhh. I don't remember how, but I am pretty sure I worked around that in the past

[ocean compass]

if your speaking about taurus like gold trading, i cant be bothered to min max, mainly because its annoying to stack the boxes on top. I normally do 4x 24SCU + 2x 8SCU and be done with that 1 trip

[zealous kindle]

Are they gonna fix the issues with selling cargo, and cargo elevators?

[ocean compass]

of course they will fix. no timetable tho because it's CIG

[zealous kindle]

Bruh one of the most annoying issues tho, should be put on prio

[ocean compass]

talk to CIG about it. lol

[zealous kindle]

They fixing some random ass issues

[mild agate]

So is the auto unloading feature not working?.

Just tried to sell some cargo at grim hex with my ship stored but have no option to sell at the commodity screen automatically

Nevermind I see people are having trouble also so it's not possible then

[languid dirge]

hey there, is the caterpillar worth it? or is it an outdated / unfunctional vessel?

[lyric tusk]

It's a great ship for cargo, but imo the C2 is better as you can put more cargo in it and vehicles, if you wait till IAE then you can pledge it if you are planning to purchase a big ship.

[languid dirge]

hmm okay C2 it is, thank you^^

[slate spruce]

It definitely makes sense to rent, since bigger ship mean bigger profits. Most 24h rentals you can pay off in about one hour of appropriate work (i.e. rent Taurus for 120k, run 4 member hauling missions and your investment's back). One of the most common ways to start making money solo is to rent Drake Cutlass Black + ROC and go to Aberdeen to mine gems, or start hauling with Cutlass/Freelancer/Taurus.

[mild pumice]

they pulled the new rental ships so it's just the old ones we had before

[sonic fiber]

Can we still rent a Hull a? I checked traveler in area 18, but just a few small ships to rent

[spare cloud]

No, all the ships they made available to rent in 3.24 have been removed in 3.24.2

[sonic fiber]

Bleh

[mental wind]

Is there a way to tell which cargo elevators are broken

[spare cloud]

Go there, see if it's broken

Assume the first route tradetool gives you is broken

[strong zenith]

My mission glitched and now i'm stuck with 24SCUs of Quartz, can I sell it?

[small galleon]

Cargo Hauling? It's paper weight now. I fell victim to that so many times

[strong zenith]

so I can't sell it as a commodity?

[small galleon]

If its from a hauling contract, I dont think you can. I am not sure though

[slate spruce]

Afaik only at no-question-asked terminals, for a reduced price. Honestly it's better to just dump it, it's pretty much worthless.

Btw does anyone know if the breaking outpost elevators are fixed in PTU?

[lavish wharf]

no auto-load, broken elevator, removed the 3.24 rentable ships..
Well, CIG wan'ts us to stop joking with cargo boxes to switch for torpedoes and the Polaris

[fresh oasis]

what should i upgrade to from the c1?

[placid pilot]

are the max stock values on SC trade tools accurate because it seems the beryl to orison runs are dead

[valid kraken]

just load it up and dump it into space

[hollow sedge]

What do you trade for station to station/city to city? How do you know what routes to do

[pallid talon]

Sc trade tools shows some decent ones I think

[lavish wharf]

Any recommendation about fitting my argo raft please ? I'm thinking about using it to station to station or mining to station ?

[mild pumice]

some Polaris cargo grid observations, best way to load up is 24scu boxes as this makes the best use of the grid, you can use 32s and 16s but it will be the same amount of boxes so you might as well just use 24x24 to get your 576scu 🙂

also station auto loading (when stored) does not seem to be working (at least at Orison) it shows the Polaris as not being a valid inventory - going to see if I can do anything at an LEO (if it will let me dock) 🙂

Other ships were showing as valid inventory so I don't think it was just a server issue

[ocean compass]

known bug, drop down bar is not working. need select through the list to find the right ship

[mild pumice]

what list?

Other ships seem to work in the drop down just not the Polaris (and the new Starlancer) although the latter shows up if I select my own inventory

The red message is gone since I relogged but still does not show a grid for loading or buying, I've contributed to the IC already so seems to be a known issue

Also on another note, scrap yards do not trade scrap, this made me giggle

I was hoping to sell the scrap from my Polaris somewhere that I loaded manually but I guess I'm SOL

Do you mean in mobi @ocean compass ?

the drop down is working it just doesn't show the grid when selected:

C1 for example shows the grid (obv empty as it contains no cargo)

auto loading for the Starlancer worked when I selected myself as the invetory lol

[leaden monolith]

I will run helium from Seraphim to Pyro Gateway or Baijini, Hephaestanite from Pyro or Tera Gateways or Bajini to any of the cities. NB is usually the highest buy price for Heph but the length of the journey outweighs the slightly higher price for me. Lorville is the next best then iirc Orison. If you run to Orison you can then pick up Helium again at Seraphim. Helium isn't a huge profit but I look at it as fuel money with a bit left over.

[frosty birch]

What kind of profit are you looking at there?

[leaden monolith]

It all depends on what ship you're using. A Raft of Heph about 50k or a C2 around 250-270k. These are rough recollections from my old brain. Buying Heph at a gateway and selling at Lorville gets you about 400uec/scu. Once again from memory.

It's not gold profit margins but the runs don't rely on outpost elevators working. The only issue I've had is occasionally the elevators at Pyro don't come to your hangar. Samller profits but a much quicker route is Heph from Baijini to A18.

[sullen junco]

Loading a Hull C is confusing, some hauling missions the space stations will have the Cargo communications where you can use the green box and auto load method however other hauling missions won’t have that at all and you’d have to cancel the mission bc you can’t load the Hull C, Does anyone know what specific missions work or if it’s just random?

Ik the Hull C has been really buggy since release but I’m just trying to make the best with it lol Ik I can buy and sell but I don’t have much rn lol I’d make more doing hauling missions

[magic mural]

Yea when I sell cargo in my vulture I always have to select my user name in the drop down for the vulture cargo grid to appear 😭

[mild pumice]

Very strange! Do you get paid? I sold scrap in the Starlancer it gave me 3k instead of 35k lol

Taxes I guess

[magic mural]

Yea I’ve never had a problem with not getting the funds I’m owed, that is also very strange if it was me that got ripped off like that I’d be hella mad 😂

[frosty birch]

Also, can anyone tell me how to take big crates off of the carrack, or is it impossible?

[pallid talon]

You have to detach them from cargo grid then blow the ship up

Should float out

[cerulean lichen]

So for a hauling ship which do you think is better, the Taurus or the Starlancer max?

[wind pilot]

Taurus

[mild pumice]

Starlancer is cool and practical if you want to carry a ground vehicle as well as cargo (medical rover for example) as well as ample space for an ATLS. The Taurus is still a solid ship though so I'd say it's down to personal preference or if you need the extra space

You can easily get 300scu in the Starlancer without a ground vehicle

[crisp bobcat]

What's the name of the medical rover?

[cerulean lichen]

Good to know. And both will probably be solo capable as long as I avoid combat.

Dream would be the Hull B but I don’t see CIG making that any time soon

[mild pumice]

URSA Medivac

[mild pumice]

Yeah be good to see the Hull B at some point, I'll definitely grab a CCU at IAE this year.

The only downsides with the Starlancer are the lack of a Tractor Beam and potentially wasted space, I'm thinking drone Bay or something would have been cool. The living space is excellent however.

[cerulean lichen]

Yah if the rear cargo bay had more cargo grid stuff so you could choose weather to store vehicles or more cargo that would have been great

[leaden monolith]

Starlancer gives you very little clearance when loading/unloading from the rear. Go a bee's dick too high and the cargo glitches into the SL. You also load the rear and sides of the ship so there really isn't an easy loading position to get into like there is with the Taurus for example.

[quartz forge]

I prefer starlancer since it’s easier to load in my experience/can take more large crates. You could pretty easily fit 8 32scu containers which is a pretty decent amount for the loading time it’d take (2 would be off grid btw) and people have been able to squish 420scu total of cargo into it

The Taurus’s cargo bay I always found a bit annoying to load but may just be personal preference

[cerulean lichen]

Think I’ll have to do the Starlancer. Just waiting the 3.24.3 to go live and then I’ll apply the ccu I own

[pearl juniper]

Seems to be a problem with most cargo ships. Getting the top outside boxes into a c2 sucks also, they jam on the angled ceiling way to easy

[cerulean lichen]

Definitely looking forward to getting my hands on the Starlancer.
In the mean time I should use my Taurus to grind out rep, so I can get better paying missions than what I get doing junior missions

[zealous kindle]

Can’t wait to get my starlancer

Life’s been hard since they deleted my c2

And nerfed salvage free drugs

[lavish wharf]

when will it be realeased ?

Just saw a video about it, the player said it was THE best startrucker and polyvalent ship for pve except combat

[zealous kindle]

IAE, people say 22nd

[cerulean lichen]

I think when 3.24.3 goes live but we shall see

[crisp bobcat]

Its in the PTU right now if you want to test it

[lavish wharf]

Ty !

[leaden monolith]

I've been playing around with the Starlancer Max and as a cargo hauler I wouldn't recommend it. You have three places to load cargo, midships on both sides and the rear. There is no efficient parking that allows you easy access to all 3 places you need to load cargo.

Loading the rear can be frustrating especially if you use 32scu crates. Go just a little too high and it glitches into the ship and a little too low and it jumps around. This is an issue because CIG decided to design yet another "cargo" ship with tight margins for loading cargo. Loading on the grid is somewhat easier than off grid because once you manage to get the 32 inside the rear it will snap.

Loading the cargo bay (sides with 32's) requires you to load the first box almost all the way to the front of the grid and then move it backwards. You can't just load or unload from the rear grid with 32's.

The non-cargo areas are great. Lots of room to roam around with plenty of space in areas to swing a cat. Unfortunately all this generous space didn't make it's way to the cargo area of the ship. A bit confusing as it is a cargo vessel.

[small galleon]

Thanks for this!

[zealous kindle]

tbf idk why they didnt just make the rear cargo grid cover the entire place

[leaden monolith]

I agree. I was going to mention that in my post but it was getting too long. My starlancer max is for the melting pot or upgrade path.

[ocean compass]

thats what i mean, selection from the dropdown bar is wrong

must select thru to find the right ship with right cargo sizes

normally if its the only ship on that station, its 3rd from top, in the dropdown list, usually myself

not mobi glass, the commodity terminal

[mild pumice]

So you're saying the name shown does not actually correspond to the ship selection? Sorry I'm desperately trying to understand what you mean!

[pearl juniper]

correct. But even when you do find the one that corresponds to your ship, there's a decent chance it will take your money and not give you your cargo.

[mild pumice]

Gotcha! Nasty bug that!

[pearl juniper]

yeah

[feral steeple]

Did they fix the c2 landing gear/ramp issue?

[ocean compass]

nope. flew my c2 2 days ago

bouncing C2 just like that bouncing nursa

[feral steeple]

Anyone play 4.0 know if it's fixed lol

[plain comet]

how does the hull c stack against the c2?

[zealous kindle]

When even is 4.0

[zealous kindle]

I like the look of it tho so I'll keep mine until a pledge ship with larger cargo capacity comes

[humble merlin]

Possibly end of the year
Most likely next year

It's in EVO right now I believe

Should be the next PTU after 3.24.3 later this month

[zealous kindle]

damn

Can't wait

Hope they don't break the game more with it tho

[humble merlin]

Oh I'm sure something will break

Something always does XD

[zealous kindle]

Yeah lol I hope it isn’t something major tho

They need to fix bugs more I swear, but kinda hard if u gonna add more stuff which breaks more stuff

[vestal ravine]

Mine has been fixed at Orison since 2 days ago.

[ocean compass]

serves different purpose. C2 is more general, can use for various activities, while Hull C is meant for cargo hauling only.

C2 only has 696 SCU vs Hull C 4096

C2 can use hangars etc, Hull C requires space loading.

[craggy tapir]

im hoping we aint getting a ship wipe

[cloud robin]

My theory is no ship wipe with 4.0

But a money wipe

Ship wipe in a 4.X patch

[hearty briar]

Hello, has anyone here compiled an spreadsheet, or other document of the contracts available for hauling?

[vestal ravine]

For the "Elite" level in the Vaughn mission offerings I kept records of each attempt's results. It all took some 2 months. So I had 4 catagories from each mission which were kills/completions, they shot me down, prison terms, and abandoned missions typically by a CTD. This is the last level before the very top tier. Here's what happened: 21 KILLS, 2 PRISON TERMS, 5 SHOOT DOWNS BY THE ENEMY AND 6 ABANDONDED MISSIONS.

[vocal cradle]

is it bad i wanyt to trade in my polaris

trade in game

[languid dirge]

hey, everyone remembers the jumptown events I presume... but with changes to the cargo system, is it still feasible to sell the drugs?

[spare cloud]

Sell, yes

Buy no

[languid dirge]

so, same sites as previously but rob them? or go to bunkers and loot it there?

[spare cloud]

Bunkers and bounties, you can't get anything from drug labs now

[languid dirge]

thank you^^

[vestal ravine]

My old standby was hauling Beryl but I haven't tried it in a few months.

[slate spruce]

Laranite's pretty good, topped perhaps by Agricium. It makes sense to check if you're willing to travel to another planet, the margins when trading between different planets can make it worth sometime (i.e. Beryl on mT locally makes a profit of ~330/SCU, but haul it from there to Orison and you get to 500/SCU)

[quartz forge]

I personnally haven't had any issues you've mentioned but it may just be either personal preference and or better luck with servers. My prefered method for loading/unloading is to position the crates around appropriately with atls (so 2 32 scu crates on each side and 4 at rear) and from there moving into the starlancer with the hand tractor since it allows a bit more precision. Easiest way to make sure they don't hit is to walk them on. With some angling you can load the back of the middle cargo bay directly without that bit of jenga you mentioned. If you get a second person like it would thoretically have then you can have one in atlas, one loading in crates and makes it super quick (For unloading just reverse my loading method) Gets in 8 32 scu crates in in about 2 min, and out in about the same time

[slate spruce]

Hm, that's very decent, probably best for these volumes if you don't consider gold (which is constantly broken). Beryl will yield less, its main advantage is much higher supply volume.

[coarse ember]

Yep or selling drugs from bounties

[sonic forum]

You got everything right

Except one thing

Easy 466k, not really 300

You just need 2/3 run to understand the way of money..

[cerulean lichen]

Ok I finally tried out the Atlas. And you guys were right. Way better than the Taurus ship mounted beam

[quartz forge]

Correction here, I have started to notice that sticking that you mentioned, it only seems to be happening with the new style commodity crates, so the ones that are old still play with it normal

[quiet night]

how does buyoing stuff work now? you buy the item, select crate size, wait the stated time and it pops in your ship ?

[spare cloud]

If your ship is stored yes. So in cities and stations.
Anywhere else, same thing, but you buy in the local inventory, then load the ship from the freight elevator

[quiet night]

ty, new cloaking tech on the cargo? ship looks very empty lol

[leaden monolith]

don't buy 32 scu crates at outposts on moons. They don't fit on the elevator. There was supposed to be a fix to prevent them from offering 32's but I haven't tried it myself.

[quiet night]

bought 32scu from a station, waited the time while i made a drink went to ship, ship is empty, no sign of the cargo

[spare cloud]

Outpost won't let you buy them anyway

They removed the ability to buy big boxes where they can't be handled

[leaden monolith]

I thought they had fised it but wasn't sure

[quiet night]

be nice if the station terms didnt if you never get it on the ship 😛

[leaden monolith]

fixed

Was the ship stored?

[quiet night]

yeap

landed, stored, ran to term, bought goods, went to make a drink, come back, go to hanger, call ship, ship is empty

[leaden monolith]

Auto load/unload has been hit or miss for me so I just manually load for now. Others have had success.

There is a post or two on here somewhere that suggests that you go through the list of ships at the station until you find the one that has the cargo grid of the ship you want to load up. Apparently it isn't always the one you think it is.

[quiet night]

still amuses me they cant keep the basics working

[leaden monolith]

Cargo Empires is this patch. Auto loading is a mess and outpost elevators weren't working. The only people building an empire were the stations and outposts.

[quiet night]

indeed, not to worry, itys just pixels at the end of the day

[leaden monolith]

true indeed

[sonic fiber]

SNAFU

[forest badge]

WTF is a star lancer?

[spare cloud]

New ship

Big ass and inefficient cargo ship variant or big ass and mid firepower gunship variant

[small galleon]

What are the better choices out there?

[quartz forge]

8 32 scu crates in a load fairly easily loaded (when everything is working as it should) isn't for everyone I spose

[spare cloud]

Cargo, Taurus, Galaxy, maybe the reworked 600iE, and more.
Gunship, Hammerhead, maybe Redeemer too, in a way. Perseus also seems like a viable option. TAC is weird IMO, can't see a purpose for that ship yet

[small galleon]

What about the Andromeda for something in between?

[spare cloud]

For a gunship kind of thing, that works yeah.
Most of the firepower on pilot tho, significantly less on turrets compared to the others

For cargo it's quite limited, 96 SCU is nothing crazy

[small galleon]

Gotcha. I might want to dabble with Vaughn missions in the future too. What's the best for those? And what's the best on a budget as well if you don't mind. Something that's fun for a crew of 2-3 people.

[spare cloud]

For now, Taurus

It's an excellent solo/duo ship, but there won't be much to do for a 3rd person.
Until engineering. Then there will be plenty

It's also the cheapest of everything I named above

[small galleon]

How's the Hammerhead's cargo size? Is it too much for a duo?

[spare cloud]

HH cargo kinda sucks, about 40-44 SCUs, and certainly not a ship for a duo

Needs at least 4 people to be somewhat useful, good with 6, full capacity with 8/9 (pilot + 6 turrets + one/two engineers)

[small galleon]

Oh thought it had more from the size. Taurus really does look like it's the best all rounder right now

[spare cloud]

Right now, totally is yeah

[small galleon]

Oh first time seeing the galaxy and it's a giant Zeus which I like the aesthetics off. Is it as capable as the Taurus in terms of firepower?

Nvm. It's in concept

[spare cloud]

It's less combat oriented than Connies, but can defend itself if properly manned.

Move to #ccu-and-fleet-advice if you want to discuss ships in more details

[small galleon]

Thanks as always man

[icy imp]

Anyone know if the cargo from Save Stanton Cargo Recovery can fit in a CB?

[icy imp]

No it can't, Other Barry. No it can't.

[small galleon]

Anyone else trading other commodites other than gold? What's the most unborkable commodity right now?

[ocean compass]

nothing is as valuable as gold trading, per scu basis wise. however things like beryl / laranie makes up for it in volume, worth it from a C2 size onwards

hull C usually trades in hydrogen / helium

at least to my understanding

think beryl trading is like 400-500k profit per full C2

there's places selling beryl that no one goes to, easily can find working elevators at those non-popular mining outposts

Hull C is space station only

[tawdry light]

How many 32 scu boxes will the star runner fit?

[ocean compass]

check pins for cargo layout.

[tawdry light]

How about off-grid?

[ocean compass]

that, i have no idea sorry. maybe try searching on youtube, im sure some youtuber will have tested cargo for the ship

[tawdry light]

Roger. Thanks.

[crimson grove]

SOmone please explain how this is a rookie mission and whats with the numbers? im new to hauling and i did one mission with my nomad but 100+scu really? 14k pay? really? its like mowing 5 lawns IRL for 15$

[ocean compass]

yeah...volume of cargo doesnt correlate to pay

usually # of destinations correlate to pay

later on there will be small jobs but to like 3 locations paying up to 71k

like 3-4SCU at each locations. thats the way this game is

i dont ever bother with those large quantity job unless i'm trying to fill up my ship after i've already taken small jobs

small tip for new players starting out - look for those 1 location small jobs Direct Planetary jobs, around 13k

i run a taurus at crusader, i usually like to take those direct planetary jobs from Seraphim to Orison (august spaceport), can stack like 7-9 of those jobs

[crimson grove]

bruh i accepted the mission because it said MAX 8SCU and then the mission after accepting said oh here we lied and its now 109scu

[ocean compass]

ah thats max 8 SCU box SIZES

so you would expect to see 109 / 8scu boxes 😛

nearly 14 of those 8 SCU box

[crimson grove]

icic its easier to understand now thank you

14k pay still is dirt cheap even doing it in one run imo

[ocean compass]

pretty much aye

[crimson grove]

maybe 24k would be bare min.. using a c2 would cost 2k in just fuel

[ocean compass]

i find it much more profitable taking those 10+ scu boxes, 1 locations then stack like 7

nearly 100k for 1 trip

that is if i have no time. if got time, its actually worth planning a route with multiple locations, i've seen up to 71k for 1x delivery to 3 locations

[crimson grove]

so accepting 3 missions picking up from one location and dropping off at 3 others?

[ocean compass]

this is an example of me stacking 7 missions from seraphim to august (orison)

[near swallow]

Rookie rank means (in theory) a lower payout. Direct means just going from A to B. Medium indicates the actual amount of cargo. And of course the 8 SCU max size is useful info for cargo planning. (AKA figuring out if you can take the whole load in one trip in your ship, with help from the cargo grid layout pictures pinned here.)

[craggy tapir]

when do i get 16scu crates for hauling?

which rank?

[small galleon]

Ever tried Bexalite? From SC Trades looks like it sells more than gold, currently.

[humble merlin]

Is there a way to target only cargo with ship tractor beam?

I keep accidentally grabbing the ship and then it floats off

[silk swallow]

Cargo is life

[slate spruce]

It's sold only at Magnus gateway, which is suuuuper far away from everywhere, and the stockpile is really small (~10scu)

[storm finch]

Is Grim Hex terminal still broken? Or what do I miss here. Can't sell even for 0 auec. End up failing

[ocean compass]

bexalite is terrible for trading because low volume. i actually consider it similar profit margins to gold, but gold has way bigger volume. bexalite volume is like 10

[pallid talon]

Try cru l4 or l5

Grims been shit lately

Maxliff if its in parts

But intact probably not unless you nudge it which you can die from

look at this post on Reddit, he gives a good explanation of how things work

[pallid talon]

If comm array is up and you hit it once and it tells you friendly or something then yeh you’d get a crimestat

[slate spruce]

If it has no shields, then Argo SRV can drag it off (and outside of armistice, where it can be salvaged)

[mild agate]

What is the best thing to trade?

[pallid talon]

have a look on sc trade tools

[fickle dune]

Took a cargo mission. Put all the boxes on cargo lift. loaded them all on ship, double checked lift before I left. delivered. Says Im 4scu short. Go back. see 4scu left, but its in my personal inv. Station wont take the 4scu and count towards mission. Any work around?

[pallid talon]

maybe bring it back up and put on again then send down again? idk

[fickle dune]

Ya. tried that a few times. lol. It just completed with the missing 4 scu. I dont even know if I got paid.

[pearl juniper]

you should have gotten paid, maybe a slightly reduced amount, but not dramatically.

[mild agate]

With the cargo missions even if the stuff got delivered it's showing as red for me, do i still get rep and money for it?

[pearl juniper]

I don't know the exact breakdown, but I know I have delivered part of a mission (more than half), and gotten at least some money and rep for it. I don't know if it was all of it, or a percentage based on how much of the mission was completed.

you have to click the submit button to accept whatever you have done as all that you are going to do and hope it's enough (assuming there is a cutoff where it's not enough)

[crimson grove]

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain and help me understand. Much encouragments and love sent you way :)🤗

[crimson grove]

Perfect information thank you so very much! Many hugs and encouragments sent you way 🤗 🙂

[crimson grove]

IQ 130 easy. Perfection. Thank you.

[vocal cradle]

Can you make a a lot with good rep

[coarse ember]

Taking contracts 1 at a time nah but chain a few together going to the same place and you'll get a bit more for your time

[hearty briar]

One way to speed up the contract selection process is to know how to differentiate the contract title

[pearl juniper]

unfortunately this falls apart when you get to senior rank. All the missions are "medium" size (300-400 SCU), so even with a C2 it's tricky to stack more than one at a time, and most of them are 3-4 drop off locations. Pay 90-120k for all that. Profitability of hauling missions basically cut to 1/3 or less of what it was per hour at experienced rank.

They really missed on the payout for the large SCU missions I think.

[mild pumice]

I lost the will with the senior rank, done about 30 missions and was less than half the bar of rep, they run well in the Caterpillar though. I thought there's no point grinding further as we'll likely get a wipe at 4.0 anyway

[ocean compass]

should have just manually submitted. go into mobi -> contract -> accepted, find that mission and press the Submit button. missions can still be submitted as long as minimum 25% delivery target met

[hearty briar]

they could improve the contracts screen, for example, it is not necessary for it to change the tab every time you accept a new contract

[ocean compass]

i have yet to reach that rank, those senior rank missions are just added on to what your already seeing right?

anyway i really think they overdefined medium rank SCU counts

300-400 is not medium at all imo, 100-200 is medium

there's only so many ships that can hold 300-400 scu of cargo

and those are NOT medium freight

also they need to up the payouts a lot to even get us to consider doing those larger hauling missions. payout is so much lesser compared to taking smaller sized missions and stacking them

[sonic forum]

Terminal says that my C1 is a medium freight and i can hold 64 SCUs officially! 😆

[zealous kindle]

bro thats a light, u getting scammed

[sonic forum]

I’m happily scammed because I LOVE IT

[sonic fiber]

Let's go on strike and not do any more hauling missions until they pay us more

[thorn ermine]

Preach

20 min load and unload for 12k

Or what would do me is a better hauling ui or terminal

So you can find all deliveries going to the same place easier

[vocal cradle]

idk if im into cargo takes along time to load n unload

is there a better way to unload n load cargo

[delicate girder]

So I heard that some of the cargo still automatically loads in your ship. Is that true? I'm not messed with the new cargo changes yet.

Also, are the new cargo missions worth the time? If only some are then which ones?

Oh, just saw the complaints above about what I was asking in that second question. I guess that means the cargo mission aren't worth it.

[delicate girder]

Yeah, that's medium ... but it's the middle of an exponential curve. 😉 However, from what I'm learning, it's now way too much work to load the big cargo ships at least at the moment.

I really dislike the MM and cargo changes to SC! Those two changes have really impacted my interest in playing. Personal hangers is nice, but not nice enough to offset those.

[icy imp]

Can I sell missiles? Or is there another way to get rid of all these rattlers cluttering up my inventory

[sonic forum]

Yes you can

[sonic forum]

With absolutely zero profit, but you can free your inventory space

[icy imp]

cool

[thorn ermine]

The only problem with these multiple locations is if one of them is bugged and wont open the hangar doors, that's your entire payout washed

Unless you're stupid like me and take them 1 by 1 through the lobby and down the elevator into the hangar

(Not worth)

[ocean compass]

make the right decision. avoid well known mining outposts/ scrap yards for multidestination

[limpid sluice]

You can also load them into 8scu crates and chuck them, or just call them up on a freight elevator and toss them out onto the hangar. I ended up doing a combination of both

[pearl juniper]

or just wait for the next patch. I believe they count as ammo, so they should go away then.

[quartz forge]

They don’t, they usually persist between like ship components in my experience

[pearl juniper]

Weird, I had a bunch and lost them at some point then, must have been a bug

[small galleon]

Can you bring up the ATLS via freight elevator? Or do I have to manually walk the thing outside of the hangar elevators and then retrieve another ship

[plain comet]

Hi guys

Does anyone know if the hull c is able to dock atm

Been in about 15 servers in the last few days and none of them let me dock but some of the cargo transfer has been working

[quasi dragon]

Does the c2 have a tractor beam?

[spare cloud]

It doesn't

[spare cloud]

No vehicle in freight elevator

Yet

[spare cloud]

Docking is bugged. Not just Hull C

[small galleon]

ATLS has been wonky for me. I can't seem to hold any boxes in the ship but I can from outside the ship's cargo or from the freight elevators

[vocal swan]

If I wanted just a manageable-size cargo ship that's easy to load and unload, how's the Hull A these days? Is the exterior loading simpler than fitting things inside something like a C1?

[crimson mantle]

It's easy for sure, but the fact that both sides need loading means that neither are usually perfectly positioned.
Rent it out at IAE and try it!

[hearty briar]

I started recently and tested a few ships, but I'm loving the Hull A for its practicality in loading, in addition to being able to separate the loads for different destinations, simply loading on the other side.

when loaded, it becomes heavier to turn, but I think that was the idea

[cerulean lichen]

Yah I have a hull A I grinder for in game and it’s really fun now with the self loading. Makes me really want the Hull B to be made soon😅

[vocal swan]

Thanks all. I was also considering building up to a Hull B and using the loaner A in the meantime. Renting it is a great idea too.

I've been having a good time with the Nomad but I might use it as a chain base to some slightly larger cargo ship and keep my Titan as my practical/light combat ship. The Nomad is fun though. 🤔

[small galleon]

What's gold trading like right now? Any money losing bugs?

Planning on doing a bit more cargo trading

[mild agate]

I'm looking at getting either the freelancer or the c1 spirit for my cargo hauler, which one would you guys say is better?

[crimson grove]

self loading?

[cerulean lichen]

As in use cargo elevator to bring cargo to hangar and then a tractor beam to put everything onto the cargo grids

[crimson grove]

ship has built in tractor turret?

[cerulean lichen]

It does not. The hand tractor beam is just fine to load the ship with

[unreal wedge]

Does the carrack's front ramp area have a snap to cargo grid?

[acoustic creek]

am i the only one who cant select there ship on the trading kiosk

[pearl juniper]

no, sometimes you have to select something else. try different things till it shows the right cargo volume. And then hope it doesn't take your money without loading any cargo in your ship. Manual loading is much more reliable...

[spare cloud]

No, only grid in the cargo pods

[tawdry light]

Where can I sell 32SCU boxes of Weevil Eggs?

[coarse ember]

cant sell 32 scu anything

24 is biggest size you can sell rn

[humble merlin]

Am I able to sell this or is it still fucked?

[humble merlin]

nvm just saw this

Dammit

[ocean compass]

what a waste 😦 but thats the way it is

[delicate girder]

So I finished a hauling contract by delivering 6 SCUs to cargo elevator at Dunlow and sending it down and I get this in the history. It says I completed and yet it say I delivered 0/6 SCUs. That's confusing to me.

Disregard the first time I abandoned the contract.

So was the contract truly successful and the message is just confusing?

[delicate girder]

Wow! That's a bummer! So it's a game bug right now that you can't sell any 32 SCU containers of anything?

[tawdry light]

Nope.

I have 5 32 scu containers of weevil eggs 🙂

And I can't sell any!

[delicate girder]

Well I guess you can store them in your hanger right now right?

[tawdry light]

Yeah

But they'll probably be wiped by the time I can sell them.

[delicate girder]

Most likely.

I destroyed one of my ships in my hanger several days ago and I still have that ship's wreckage in my hanger. Wonder how I can get rid of it.

It's not causing any problems, but it's quite persistent.

[delicate girder]

Could I tractor it out of the hanger with one of the other ships? I can't remember if it's salvageable if complete destroyed.

I've never tried salvaging inside a hanger. Doubt that works.

[frank warren]

If I’m correct, wasn’t the solution from CIG for selling these was they could be sold in Pyro once that came out?

[frank warren]

I used a tractor beam and pushed them through the roof access and outside lol

They will just kinda stay there from my experience until removed from the hanger

[leaden saddle]

they are prolly gonna wipe all 32scu weeveils by then tbh

worth it to do any upgrades to the c2?

[crimson grove]

think you still get paid, ive had this visual bug as well but still says completed even though the numbers are off. and still got the money.

[crimson grove]

c2 is a great ship but unfortunately, its nose heavy for landing and a pain on uneven surfaces.

Suggest getting some #ccu-advice-and-resources #ccu-and-fleet-advice so u font pay full price and get a 30% discount.

other advice is having a consistant crew mate for the c2

[delicate girder]

Good. I assumed that would probably work, but hadn't tried it yet. Will be interesting to see if a tractor beam goes that far in the biggest hanger. I sure I could fly a ship up half way and make it work if not.

[ornate locust]

the best cargo ship is the polaris

[sharp swift]

is altruciatoxin an illegal vice? I found a ship full of it

nvm found the answer

[small galleon]

Hey. What are you doing with all that contraband? let me take it off your hands

[sharp swift]

Sold it

Was a nice 80k~ after saving stanton haulers

[marsh bison]

Is it possible to sell UNCUT Slam at Drug Terminals in current LIVE patch?

[small galleon]

So what SCU size does trading come in with?

[marsh bison]

Anyone know? Not talking about normal SLAM but UNCUT Slam

[small galleon]

I think I was able to sell some couple days ago

Sold it at Brio's

[marsh bison]

ty

[zenith ocean]

i just sold 3 scu of eggs and i got only 41 k at brios why?

at brios

[tall karma]

Were they the small boxes from bunkers?

[junior berry]

Hey guys, i saw some video showing the Hull C autoloading feature working, does it still work or it's broken rn ?

[mild pumice]

@junior berry it works when it wants to, mostly server health dependent but other factors like damaged spidles can cause issues

You have to a) be lucky docking works b) get lucky ATC works and C) get lucky it starts to load then get lucky it all works the other end lol.

I got more success with hauling missions because once you've launched you don't need to worry about docking again

[junior berry]

oh alr ty, guess i will try later when the whole think is more stable

[pearl juniper]

Seems likely. 3/8 SCU x 110k = 41k

[tall karma]

Yeah, they mistook the 1/8 SCU boxes for 1scu

[hollow sedge]

what place buys RMC

[coarse ember]

cities, it's sold at TDD instead of admin like CMAT

[zenith ocean]

Yes

[zenith ocean]

Can you explain?

I sold 1 small box of maze and i got 100k..

[spare cloud]

Sounds like you got confused or misread something.

These below are the box sizes you can find in bounties cargo, or hauling contracts...
From 1 SCU to 32.

1 SCU of weevil sells for about 110k aUEC

But in bunkers, the boxes you find, that you can hold in your hands, are ⅛ of an SCU. So worth 8 times less per box. Value per volume stays the same ofc

[coarse ember]

1/8scu of maze is worth like 14k. Found that out camping drug yards

[spare cloud]

The only ⅛ boxes I care about are the gem ones.
16-30k per box.
I pick them up during Secure confidential material missions, makes up for a good bonus when there's like 6-10 of em

[coarse ember]

Never bothered with em, too many small boxes for me to care and I just grab the one for the mission and go

[spare cloud]

I take them while waiting for the mission one so 🤷

When you have three codes to find, there's a lot of good boxes that come before them

[zenith ocean]

So 1 scu is 8 handboxes if i am correct?

Ty

[leaden reef]

When foxyloxy tried it it worked

[quiet night]

So i boughht commodities at a outpost, auto loaded, terms there show the stuff on my ship, but when i go to a tdd im unable to see it, am i being an idiot or is star citizen just doing star citizen things?

[vestal ravine]

You might just half to unload to your freight elevator and sell from there. But lately I have not been able to sell from my warehouse at Orison and take my RMC to Area 18.

[quiet night]

thats the thing, my ship looks empty when im in it

Yet here it shows

[vestal ravine]

How did you buy the original cargo?

[quiet night]

did a hauling misson, picked up the above at the outpost just to see how it worked as ive not played for months, used the auto load feature, went to make a cuppa, let the dog out, came back, ship looked empty, figured it was bugged etc, logged on today and while at a term i saw the above

[vestal ravine]

These are standard cargo products that should be sold at a TDD.

[quiet night]

yeap

but the tdd does not see them

or atleast area 18s doesnt

[vestal ravine]

The two products are under the "Cannot sell" tab. Sorry there is something wrong and someone else will have to look at this issue.

[quiet night]

yeap and i wasnt trying to sell them there

[spare cloud]

You said you bought commodities, but you said you picked up the cargo in the pic in a hauling mission. Which one of those is it ?

You don't buy the cargo you get from hauling contracts, you just deliver it

[quiet night]

sigh

i took a hauling misson, dropped it off

picked up the commodities

they do not show in the ship physically

they do not show at a tdd

yet they show where i cant sell them

[mild pumice]

Hauling missions are physical cargo moving, you must retrieve it from and deliver to a freight elevator

[quiet night]

lol yes i know

hence why i said i did one, after i did it i picked up the commodities

[mild pumice]

You don't collect Hauling mission cargo from TDD?

[quiet night]

i know

[mild pumice]

OK I'm confused with that your issue is then.

[quiet night]

i did a hauling missons, loaded goods, went to outpost, unloaded them, after that i figured id buy commodities to sell at the tdd

[spare cloud]

If I read this right, you selected the Auto load method while at an outpost ? My guess would be that the cargo was never in your ship

[mild pumice]

Ah so nothing to do with the hauling mission then, you're commodity trading?

[spare cloud]

This, not sure why you talk about hauling contracts in the first place if it has nothing to do with it

[quiet night]

nope nothing, never said it was at any stage

[spare cloud]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[spare cloud]

So what about this @quiet night ?

[mild pumice]

You can't autoload from outposts you need to physically retrieve the cargo

[spare cloud]

Auto load is only available where you can store your ship.

Cities and Stations

[sonic fiber]

The view is bugged. Your ship is one above what you select. Try other lines in the list till you see it.

[leaden monolith]

@quiet night To be clear for you. The fact that you had a hauling contract at the place you bought cargo has nothing to do with the missing cargo. Just in case you were wondering that.

As @spare cloud said auto load is only available at places where you can store your ship. At all other places you have to load your cargo yourself. If you selected auto load then it just didn't happen and your ship was empty.

Two things that are annoying and/or confusing about this.
First - Outposts should not have an option available to auto load. It is definitely not available so it shouldn't be offered.
Second - Why in the hell is a TDD showing cargo that doesn't exist in the ship? I'm not asking you just pointing this out as obviously this is a major contributor to confusion.

Lastly there might be a slight chance that your cargo is still stored at the outpost. It might well be worth going back and checking at the cargo elevator.

[pallid talon]

My brain melted reading this chat about hauling then missing cargo 😭

[narrow mountain]

Has anyone else the issue that the C2 jumps around in the hangar as soon as the rear ramp is deployed? (and the front ramp is in the air)

[pearl juniper]

It's a thing. Patch notes indicated it might be fixed in .3

[narrow mountain]

ty, do you know when .3 is going live?

[pearl juniper]

some time between now and the beginning of IAE on the 22nd

[hollow sedge]

Hi guys, looking for someone to make the 184k cargo misión

[spare cloud]

Try #looking-for-session instead 👍

[winged musk]

How do you sell at Brio with the new elevators? does brio have freight elevators to sell cargo? or does it take ship cargo grid?

[coarse ember]

freight elevator

[spare cloud]

Big flat red area with a tower next to it.
Doesn't look that big from the sky tho

[coarse ember]

closest thing i can find without tormenting myself by opening the game and spending 30 mins just for a picture

[winged musk]

Yeah kinda figured it out by myself, thanks everytone

Man selling there is scary with that added lenght

[coarse ember]

also opens up more chances for me to explore peoples cargo

[winged musk]

500k in eggs well made tho

[vocal swan]

Is selling weevil eggs a matter of server hopping until somewhere like Brio has a working elevator?

[spare cloud]

Yup

[vocal swan]

Got it to work after a couple of relogs. Thanks!

[small galleon]

How does one actually hop servers? Does it take you to a different shard every relog?

[spare cloud]

You change server !region like shown below

[jolly dagger]

How to change server region.

1. Get to the main menu
2. Click on Persistent Universe
3. Next to Enter Star Citizen Universe, change it anything else
4. Enter the game

Note: BEST is the exact same as your local region. So if you're USA, choose anything but Best or USA.

[small galleon]

Ah. Is there a way to change shard but stay int he same region?

[spare cloud]

You don't care switching region, you barely feel high ping in SC outside of PvP and mining

Just switch

[small galleon]

Oh wow. Ok good to know

[urban comet]

so I started doing some hauling contracts (yes, I know Zeus ES isn't ideal, but a CCU chain to CL is in the works) and I'm wondering, isn't it better to take a few small cargo contracts for the same route instead of one medium?

[weak tinsel]

is there any way to quick transfere items from station/city cargo to a cargo box or do i need to drag and drop everything ?

[spare cloud]

There's the move all button, but it might only work one way if you only want to move some items and not all

[weak tinsel]

well it tries to move it into my personall inventory

[craggy tapir]

Do it at a freight terminal

[weak tinsel]

since it tires to move the items right to left and opposite

since the cargo rework you can not have the box inv open and accesing the local inv at the same time

[weak tinsel]

that just spawns a empty box and a lot of stuff on the ground

[craggy tapir]

Move elevator down
Drag a box on the elevator
Double click the box
Drag stuff into it

Or even better
Click every single think you wanna move and move everything at once

[weak tinsel]

ohh

oke

i did not think i could be able to open the box in this menu

thank you so much

[weak tinsel]

This does not work

i love me shitty implementation

[craggy tapir]

...

[craggy tapir]

Elevator is down
Box on the Elevator
Double click the box
Drag stuff in
Go out of the box
And pull the Elevator up

[weak tinsel]

it does not put the things phisically into the box

the UI shows that they are there
when i pull it out and open it its empty

but when i do the drag and drop from the old inv screeen it works

same goes for unloading the boxes
when i do it with the system you said it does not remove the items form the box to the local inv

[sonic forum]

Hello there, i got a Lancer MAX as a loaner for my Starlancer. There’s something like an invisible box blocking my cargo bay, preventing me from fully loading it. Noticed also that the left components doors are stuck open. Someone had the same problem?

[jolly dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-general-kenobi-star-wars-grevious-gif-17774326

[eager quail]

Would anyone recommend a good place to live for doing cargo hauling. Can’t stand waking up in Area 18 takes forever to get to the ship.

[leaden monolith]

Move up to Baijini and transfer your imprint there as well. Or any other space station for that matter.

[pearl juniper]

You have to send the elevator up when you are done to make it stick. Same guess for pulling stuff out of a box in my experience.

[weak tinsel]

it does not work
I put a empty container into the left slot of the UI
opened it with double click
Try 1:
I selected move all
Closed the box in the UI
Move the elevator up
Opened the box inv with F
It was empty
Try 2
I moved the box back to local inv
I checked it was there with the inv terminal near hangar entrance
I pulled the box to the left UI of the cargo terminal
I moved everything one by one
I closed the box UI
Called elevator
Opened box with F
N O T H I N G
Try 3
moved everything by hand in the inv terminal then dropped the box on my feet by dragging it onto the drop icon
works

[pearl juniper]

Weird. That method has worked for me to empty boxes, maybe I haven't tried to fill them

[polar fable]

So I recently got a Hull C, how does one efficiently use it for trading? Can it land on planet? How do you load it?

[spare cloud]

No landing with cargo, trade only in the 4 orbital space stations and the 3 jump point stations

Docking is heavily bugged, so good luck

[polar fable]

so is the only way to unload it via docking?

[pallid temple]

No

You contact the cargo ATC to load and unload cargo

[spare cloud]

Hull C still uses a kinda magic auto (un)loading

[warped canopy]

Are there cargo missions that work for the hull c?

[spare cloud]

The cargo missions work pretty good afaik yeah

It's the docking that doesn't work, luckily you don't need to dock for those hauling contracts

All magic loading

[warped canopy]

That’s good

I remember trying to do cargo with the hull before this cargo update and it was such a pain to do

[small galleon]

Can anyone remind me how hauling used to work before? I played around 4 years ago but mostly did bunkers. Before cargo was physical? Was it just button presses to move ship cargo to buyer?

[spare cloud]

You select your ship on the trading terminal, you buy the cargo, and boom, ship is loaded with the cargo.
At first it was only 1 SCU boxes, then the bigger ones where implemented.
Ship didn't even have to be stored like now for auto (un)loading. But it did have to be empty of player and/or dead corpses

Same thing to sell, don't need to store ship, go to terminal, sell.
You have the money and cargo is gone

[leaden monolith]

The absolute best part about it though - It worked 100% of the time.

[spare cloud]

Uhh, let's take it down to 90%

We had a good amount of "Failed cargo transfer" or "Mismatched transaction cost" errors

Not sure working at 100% can ever be true in SC

[small galleon]

Huh. Don't mind the change. Like it actually

[spare cloud]

It's a bit hard when you had a taste at quick and easy loading

3.24 tastes bitter

[small galleon]

LOL. It definitely does feel like unnecessary work for a game with already a lot of downtime. But hey, it really does put the citizen in Star Citizen.

[humble merlin]

Back when we had magic inventories 🥹

[hollow sedge]

I just pulled up to this cargo elevator and its stuck on transferring to wareheouse is this a bug

[vital juniper]

@humble merlin How should someone do Vaughn?

[humble merlin]

Starting out I would use a fighter, or an interceptor with some cargo space. Could also use something like cutty/c1/nomad

Go to GrimHEX and buy a bunch of crypto keys, carry 3 on you.
Go to unverified contracts, there should be one from Vaughn in there that unlocks his bounties
Do that one

When you get to the planet/moon that the target is at, check to see if comms are up (top left of screen there will be an eyeball if comms are up)

If comms are up, you need to take them down with the crypto keys you bought.

Fly to comms array around the moon/planet, get as close as you can as fast as you can so you don't get missiled to death by the defense systems (they don't shoot at your ship when it's parked super close to the comms array)

Go insisde, hack terminal, this will take a couple minutes and you have to confirm on the terminal a couple times.

Once comms are down, go do bounty.

You can do the bounties with comms on, but you'll get crimestat

A lot of the time, comms are already down

Crusader is best place because you can get bounties in Asteroids surrounding Yela which makes for easy looting

You can start getting contraband pretty early in small amounts

I usually take it to Brio's Breaker Yard but use SC Trade tools to check prices from other places

[hollow sedge]

Did they update the tarusus' cardo hold size?

[humble merlin]

Still 174 SCU

[hollow sedge]

oh alr

Does anyone know how much scu space the atlas takes up?

[humble merlin]

Probably like 2 SCU on the floor

Maybe 4

So in a Taurus it would be 6-12 SCU

[hollow sedge]

9 tails members at mining outposts that have an armistace zone??? You cant even shoot back. Amazing video game.

[humble merlin]

Hello yes welcome to Star Citizen

Weird shit all the time

[craggy tapir]

happend to me too

they shot at my raft for so long it blew

[polar fable]

so If I were to go mining, and wanted to use the Hull C to move the refined material is that going to be a hassle? Should I rather use something else?

[spare cloud]

Definitely not meant for it since refined materials are sold in cities, where the Hull C can't land

[polar fable]

ah okayt

[spare cloud]

Even at Orison, where the Hull C can dock, it's artificially limited as the H-C isn't detected by the terminals

[polar fable]

so theoretically once the arrastra/orion release, and you can do high capacity mining, would the ideal be refine until H-C capacity, use H-C to move all cargo to tressler (or other planetary station) and then ferry the cargo planetside with the largest capacity ship you have like the C2?

All of this likely to change by then however

arrastra seemingly confirmed for release in the next year though

[spare cloud]

Maybe by then Orison will accept the H-C

Can't tell for ships and career this far from being in

[polar fable]

is this just a bug or does it seem intentional?

[spare cloud]

It's definitely intentional for now

[polar fable]

okay

Thanks for all the advice

Might upgrade to the H-D then during IAE, since its not a big price increase, but get a C2 as a loaner

[spare cloud]

If you wanna move super big cargo with stuff that can land, we will eventually have the Ironclad and BMM

Idris may be a good cargo ship if you can fill the entire hangar with cargo

But again, I'm sure the prices, landing zones and buy/sell points will be very different in the future

[polar fable]

im trying to minimize the extra investment here xD I cant downgrade to the ironclad, and going to the BMM is more than im expecting to spend

I can upgrade to the H-D with credit

Now I just need to fix my corsair problem xD

then my fleet is sorted

[hollow sedge]

🫡 Has there been any documentation of what the various tiers of SCU capacity are across all the different ranks of the hauling missions?

[hidden pulsar]

i beleive it to be random, but there might be an equation to how many of each type of SCU crate will show up depending on the mission, rank and how many SCU is needed to be Hauled. There is no way to know, would be nice to to be offered a particular missions list, based on the ship your currently sitting in. So it will do a checksum and say this ship has "X" amount of cargo capacity, any missions that require "Y" SCU will give a Result of "Z" ship not capable of supporting haul in 1 trip!

I for instance had a double collection, but in a freelancer Max with the new Quantum rebalance, i had to go to microtech, collect and deliver to Hurston, then out to Crusader and back to Hurston again, filling up after each stop. As the trip to NB, then Seraphim, then back to Everest would have emptied my tank and left my adrift around HL5

[leaden monolith]

When you select a contract it tells you how many scu's it is and the max size box for that mission. For example deliver 96scu from A to B with a max size box size of 8scu. So simple maths means 12x8scu boxes.

I believe that max box size per level doubles from the one before. Rookie 1scu Junior 2scu, Member 4scu and so on. I'm only at member rank so it's just the pattern I've seen so far.

[sonic fiber]

That would require devs to play SC 😉

Then they would understand the pain

[plucky sparrow]

I was getting 8 scu deliveries on my first missions, so I dont think thats how they scale. There were just a lot of missions available and I had to pick cargo loads that fit

[coarse ember]

They do play the game (you can see on spectrum when they're playing) but I assume it's mostly just to mess around like your average player instead of constantly thinking about what could be better esp when it isn't their teams work lol

[hollow sedge]

the hauling missions that are suitable for the hull C, they're not autoload, right?

[spare cloud]

They are

But the ship doesn't have to be stored, it has its own area to park at around stations and call cargo atc

[hollow sedge]

Yeah I've done commodity trading with it last time I had one, but I've not touched the upper tiers of hauling with one yet

[sonic fiber]

Yeah that's what I mean. If they played regularly they'd understand how many things are annoying

Like the contracts screen

[marsh bison]

Can any experienced cargo hauler tell me what ship is rentable in Star citizen with biggest cargo capacity? preferably with snap-on cargo grid?

[coarse ember]

Their wording could be better
Instead of saying "oh yeah max size up to this size" and then the amount it could say something like "you'll be moving 12 8scu crates and 3 1sxu crates"

[spare cloud]

Constellation Andromeda or Phoenix

[marsh bison]

thanks my man

[sonic fiber]

Im ok with cargo size, just wish I could filter, rank, location, size too

[pearl juniper]

it's also quite likely that they are aware of how many things are annoying, but that doesn't mean fixing them is a priority. Especially when major system reworks (mission refactor, etc) are coming that may mean that fixing them now would be a waste of time.

does anyone know where I can find the Stor all 2scu box for the hornet? not able to find it on the cstone site

[coarse ember]

you can find 2 scu storage crates at any station with a cargo deck so baijini for arccorp, orison sells them direct at cousin crows on providence platform, hurston sells them on everus harbor and microtech sells em at omega pro in new babbage commons

[placid quartz]

The specific Size 5 Stor*All Big Box Model H storage pucks on the hornet not the regular 2scu's crates

[iron kettle]

Question about selling at TDD. So i have some gold to sell. I moved it the freight and sent it down. i head over to TDD and i am unable to find it. Then i saw that it did see the Bexilte on my C1 cargo grid and allowed me to sell it. So i guess it created a sell order. I went back to my ship unloaded the Bex on the freight and sent it down. Then i checked my warehouse and the Bex is there and not sold. So how do we sell?

[cloud robin]

That's the neat part

You don't

Unsure if it comes stock with one of the Hornet variants but you can't buy it

I also don't even think it's usable atm

[leaden reef]

sounds like your server is just messed up

[iron kettle]

but it has been the same for my buddies also and we have tried on different nights.. what is the proper process to sell currently?

[cloud robin]

Does your gold appear in local inventory?

[leaden reef]

both of your methods are proper and i've done them both, at least with rmc

if you want to use the auto offload feature go to tdd/trade console first. otherwise it's faster to offload first and then trade console

[iron kettle]

currently everything is in Area 18

i went to the console, choose area 18 and nothing shows in the In demand section

[cloud robin]

Try raising it with the freight elevator and then lowering it again

Don't leave the freight elevator UI until it says the transfer is complete aswell

[iron kettle]

ok

[placid quartz]

That is unfortunate

[iron kettle]

nope nothing....Another weird thing is that the ships are not aligned... Example. I choose to see the cargo of my C2, i will find it under the Argo ATLS. If i choose the C2, it shows the Freelancer MAX. if i choose the MAX, it says to choose a Valid Inventory to make a Transaction... I dont know if it is related...

[leaden reef]

is area18 your home location

there was a bug where people had issues selling at their home location, not sure if it's fixed yet. try going elsewhere

Hello

What should I do if I just started with hull a?(Not including rep missions)
Is there any run I can do (that's worth it)

[spare cloud]

Bunker missions only require transportation, so a Hull A is capable.
But for more specialized career, there's only cargo for which it's suited

[sonic fiber]

just risky trading maybe. 30-40k per run

if the elevators work 🙂

[hollow sedge]

Hull C owners, putting the docking arm issues to one side, can you get a decent hauling session most times or is it still keeping up the reputation for being a bit of a mess? Thanks!

[viscid loom]

I usually do large hulls of hydrogen, and copper. Just a pain goinf from ship to station then ship then loading dock then back to station to loading dock again xD. (But i dont do hauling missions with the c

[hollow sedge]

Yeah I typically do a mix of trading and hauling, probably more hauling at the moment, just curious to see if it's worth it right now. Does loading work reliably most of the time?

[viscid loom]

For me yes, but ive only done the trading. (Hulling i use c2 so idk what the difference is if you haul since the hauling usually makes you manually load and unload) personally id say no and just use a c2 or a cat for the haulling missions since the locations for delivery are split at higher missions

[quiet atlas]

refinery says i have 1000+ cSCU refined ore but my c2 only holds 600+ SCU whats the difference between the 2 cSCU and SCU

Is it possible to load 1/8 SCU boxes into a Store-All without the use of a freight elevator (IE, looting drug bunkers)

That's what I thought. Tried it once, couldn't make it work, but thought there was a chance I hadn't figured it out.

You can carry 1/8 boxes, so you can't drag them from your arms into the open container loot window?

It's worth a try but you've never been able to store crates of Maze, etc in a inventory so unless is specifically changed with the new system?

[umbral ember]

The hauling missions...what kind of scu crates (and amount) do they have anyway?

To what level can the c1 tackle it?

[mild pumice]

It says a maximum size crate in the description so as many of those ➗️ by the total SCU plus smaller boxes to make up any extra

[craggy tapir]

Tried that
Doesn't work

[mild pumice]

21scu with 4scu max be 5x 4 and 1x1

[honest grove]

Is there a list somewhere of “No Questions Asked” terminal locations?

[mild pumice]

Grim Hex, scrap yards, cru 4/5 I think that's it, but best just to check your commodity and see who buys it on sctradetools it'll show you if there's an NQA who take it

[pallid talon]

How good is hauling missions when at higher ranks

[pearl juniper]

Stacking a couple of small missions at experienced rank I was making around 250-300k per hour.

At senior rank they pay 90-120k each, but it's hard to do more than one at a time even with a c2.

[pallid talon]

hm

Idk what rank I am currently but its low for sure I was stacking the 6-10 scu per mission and doing like 5-6 at a go

Getting about 70-80k

It felt like forever getting rep

Did they fix cargo autoloading at the admin terminals with this patch?

[delicate girder]

Bet that takes a bunch of time to load and unload.

[mental niche]

Question, if a large ship (for example the Polaris) has to use the docking collar to dock on space stations... How do we unload cargo on large ships at space stations if docking collars have no freight elevators?

[pearl juniper]

Yeah, hauling missions got to be not worth it for me at senior. I only did one, but it took a little over an hour total. And I'm not opposed to things taking time in game, but when the reward per hour was halved or worse going from experienced to senior, that wasn't cool.

[pearl juniper]

A while ago. Did they reverse them again?

[delicate girder]

What ways are there if any to get cargo automatically loaded for you these days?

[pearl juniper]

in theory you can auto load / unload at locations with hangars and only on things you buy / sell at admin or TDD. Doesn't always work, maybe it's better in the new patch?

[brisk maple]

all my cargo has become <placeholder>, have i just lost all my money?..

[pearl juniper]

no, but if you position yourself at an angle to where you want to place them and use free look (Z key) to look out the side window while positioning, it works a lot smoother.

[honest grove]

Ah - I'll give that a try next time I'm on. Thanks!

[pearl juniper]

still annoying, I wish the ATLS had a right click mode that was normal tractor beam and left click that was the special ATLS beam. The lack of precision on the ATLS beam kinda sucks

[modern agate]

it has two hands and two slots for utilities
be nice if CIG would unlock the left arm for a second beam

[pearl juniper]

oh, that would be a good option too

can only assume that like everything else, it's not done yet

[tall karma]

Yes

[tall karma]

One trick is to use Z and look to the side and mousewheel to move the holo image of the cargo around. Still not precise, but way easier to see than looking straight on to your target destination with the ATLS.

[pearl juniper]

that's what I just suggested two posts further up

[sonic forum]

Starlancer enjoyers, watch out for a DANGEROUS bug, it happened to me two times and i saw it also on reddit, so it cannot be only a case.
I don’t know if it’s already present on the Council

Basically if you get into the ATLS while the thing it’s stored in your rear cargo bay, there’s a possibility it will depart AT LIGHT SPEED against the wall, penetrating it literally, and killing you

So i would not really recommend to use the ATLS during valuable trading runs…
Or do that at your risk, feel free to test it

Blocking the landing pads

[sonic forum]

The ship itself is awesome and the capabilities are top notch.
Cockpit visiblity is terrible. The lack of side MFDs is even worse. The HUD bar is very cool. Flight performances are DECENT, it’s slow as hell, in atmosphere even worse, in space it goes good enough. If you loose a wing it starts spinning without any form of control and the ship is done, not sure if it’s a bug or intended. Weapons are good, very decent number and size of missiles, good number of turrets, lower side of the ship is exposed. I do not dislike the shield capabilities.
The cargo bay is one of the absolute best points of it. Immense for this price tag. If you ignore the cargo grid you get even more of the official SCU capacity. It lacks a tractor beam, which is not an issue, just something that would be cool to have. It got space for multiple vehicles and light fighters like the Mirai Fury or an Ursa rover.
Landing lights not working, VERY BAD.
Maybe sometimes it’s a bit of a pain going around the ship to fill the opposite side of the central cargo bay, but it’s possible to move em on the opposite side even from the inside of the ship, a bit uncomfortable but possible.

The aesthetic of it it’s still unclear for me. From a frontal aspect the ship looks awesome and i love it. The rear of it in my opinion it’s not very pleasant. But again, this is personal and it’s a MISC, you like it or you hate it.
I don’t know if i missed something. The ship is great if you like this kind of gameplay. I see it as an industrial ship, contrary to the TAC it’s not really meant to fight. You can do for sure bounties with it but I wouldn’t because i don’t see the reason, since i got other ships to better fit that role.
I’m using it mainly for trading runs, hauling missions, and a bit of expeditions

Last note, i mainly fly a ZEUS, which is my daily. The Fatlancer has replaced it? No.

And probably it was not even meant to do that.

[small galleon]

Thanks man! Haven't had any luck with the trading right now or hauling in general. What was your CCU path like?

[small galleon]

Man, I LOVED the Zeus CL as a daily driver. Absolutely adored it. I was talked into a Taurus and I miss the Zeus not gonna lie. The grid was what put me off

[sonic forum]

Here it comes the worse part of it. I bought only two ships this year, the Zeus and the Fatlancer.
Both of em without any kind of CCU. Straight out of the store.

[sonic forum]

I just unloaded a full cargo of gold with it, 280k of profit or something similar. A bit less than salvaging, but it’s definitely faster than that. So it’s a good compromise.
You can get more, my grid was NOT full.

[small galleon]

Ah, I see your a bit of a baller yourself

[sonic forum]

Let me tell you this, i can understand, because even now i’m still going around the Connie. I rented an andromeda today and i’m still flying it. It has something that i love.
I would even consider upgrading the Starmax, but i would NEVER take out my Zeus.

Literally this is weird because weeks ago i was completely uninterested in the ZOOS, today i would prefer to stop playing instead of getting rid of it!

[small galleon]

Faster than salvaging? Seems like your enjoying hauling a little too much. You're treading a dangerous line here, buddy.

How are the availability of trading right now? I've always had tough luck with it.

[sonic forum]

I’m trading mainly gold. Everytime i go down to the mining outpost i’ll find around 128 SCUs immediately available. Terrible. BUT!

If you wait a bit, it should refill. Or, you can go to another outpost (more risky)

(Salvaging remains still my best form of income as now, together with bounties, Vaughn and whatever)

[pallid talon]

[mild pumice]

It's a good ship, I tested it out on a 250scu mission earlier

hi everyone. its been months since ive last played star citizen, i want to get back into it so i'm just wondering, whats the new best grind with c2 hercules? last time i played it was doing ert missions and having someone load the valuable loot into the back and selling it, is that still extremely profitable?

[pallid talon]

I havent even loaded it tbf lol

Just doing save stanton atm gonna do vaughn after

[sonic forum]

Tried it the risky way. Fully BORKED the rear cargo bay with a mix of size 8/16 SCUs during my last run. Entering it at the end was pretty impossible

Everything went great. Gained a big amount of added space = profit

I’m an enthusiast of ignoring cargo grid. I’m a Zeus driver, you know.

[pallid talon]

so what can you fit

I know you can fit 16 scu boxes

can you double stack or no? and can you fit anything bigger

[sonic forum]

You can fit 2x 32s in the rear, and that’s for sure. I would say also for sure 6x 8scu boxes in the center. Maybe 8, haven’t tried. On top of ALL of them, multiple size 4scu boxes

[pallid talon]

are them 2x32s gridded im guessing not

[sonic forum]

I haven’t tried but i’ll bet my money on it, they are, considering you can fit 2x size 16 on every side

So a single 32 instead should be totally fine

[pallid talon]

hm

so on the main cargobay/catwalk you can only fit 8's?

[sonic forum]

Another configuration that i see easily in the rear is 2x size 32, 4x size 16, 14x size 4

[sonic forum]

Negative, 16s, 24s and 32s are compatible

[sonic forum]

On top of all of them, size 4 boxes are compatible
Nothing taller than those ones

Actually i changed my mind. I'll keep this thing.

[half roost]

Is it slower than a c2?

[tall karma]

Is what slower than a C2

[half roost]

Starlancer

[sonic forum]

Not sure man, literally never flown the C2

[tall karma]

Starlancer is slower than almost every ship in SCM without boosting

It tops out at 115m/s, which only a cargo laden Hull C and the starfarer move slower (both also misc ships)

[half roost]

Ok thx for the info

[tall karma]

But you can boost for a while

[half roost]

I’ll have to try it out on misc day

[amber ruin]

Thought about learning how to do Cargo runs with my Hull C, any tips or guides?

[ocean compass]

dont do it 🙂

think you can search this channel a few people posted on how to do it, or just find a youtube vid?

[amber ruin]

YT videos are scarce and outdated when it comes to the Hull C due to its bugs. I wouldnt be messaging in here had I not already looked myself.

[ocean compass]

my understanding is you need to buy the cargo in autoloading to the ship, fly the hull C out to the box, call cargo ATC and it should load.
for unloading approach station, do not land, park at external hangar, EVA in, sell auto unload / turn in mission ask you manual unload, fly back to ship, go Box call cargo ATC

disclaimer: i do not own a Hull C, but that is what i remember seeing recently

perhaps you can try it out and come back to us with a guide? 🙂

[amber ruin]

ive already watched the old guides on how to properly use the ship, which are still accurate. my objective was to see if anyone was doing it themselves and how well they like doing their route. possibly offer advice with their experience

i appreciate the attempt to answer my question.

[ocean compass]

aye sorry cant be of futher help. as my personal opinion as a trader tho, hydrogen trading is what i would attempt on the Hull C

[amber ruin]

interesting, the trading website suggested Iron, for barely 300k profit at best

[ocean compass]

for 500k base cost the profit margin is 70%

you try searching for hydrogen itself

sometimes its buggy i realise, like Heph routes are the best autoloading route for a C2, but if you select just autoloading it gives random bad suggestions, for which i have no idea why

[amber ruin]

i see, someone released a video on hydrogen runs with the hull c just 5 days ago.

[ocean compass]

yeah like i said, as a trader from my own research, if i have a Hull C, i would definitely do hydrogen runs

Hull C requires sufficient volume to make it worth, but of course if you dont want to spend too much of your money and risk losing it too

[amber ruin]

appears the better way is Helium, seraphim to magnus gateway, profit of 460k

[sonic forum]

Too low. I’ll do that with the Starlancer. With the Hull C, i’m sure you can get way more

https://uexcorp.space/trade/routes/?id_vehicle=104

Here, try taking a look here

I found some routes suitable for the Hull C. About the procedures, unfortunately i do not own one

[amber ruin]

i did peek on there for a moment, helium seems to be the best one for the moment, i didnt dig into it deep

[sonic forum]

Whatever you do, pay attention and do not invest excessively without testing. I heard worrying stuff about the Hull C lately

I would be scared as hell to get a lot of money on it

[amber ruin]

the docking got patched, other than that, the only issue ive had is being unable to move other than forward and back. takes a relog and it fixes.

[ocean compass]

yeah i saw a video recently by noobs gaming, he did the same mistake as i did

i tried to trade c2 autoload runs with medical supplies.

the stations buys in such tiny quantities goddamn it

takes forever to sell the 650scu of meds

i realised medical supplies are terrible to trade, even tho they are available in large quantities

[leaden monolith]

Did you try TDDs? I haven't traded meds in a while but Orison and A18 used to take up to 500scu of meds and Admin up to another 50.

[tepid dirge]

Are there resources somewhere about the best MISSION optimized routes ? Like, what is a serie of hauling missions you can do in a specific order to perfectly optimize a route?

[cloud robin]

Try !tradetools

[jolly dagger]

SC Trade Tools

One-stop-shop for everything trade related in Star Citizen: best trade routes, best mining spots, etc.

[mild pumice]

Yeah I could quite a few at experienced rank, at Port Tressler I could combine delivery missions with pickup missions both interstellar and locally to maximise the rep, stacking up to 6 missions. You kinda just need to go through the job board and check the pickup and drop off points and make a note.

At senior rank I was doing one loop pickup from Seraphim drop to 3 R&Rs and then hooking on a pickup at one of the R&Rs, it gets harder above experienced as cargo amounts make stacking more difficult, the Caterpillar was good due to the compartments to split up the loads.

Somehow I lost a bunch of my senior rep (no missions failed) it was up to 3/4 now down to 1/3 again and with the wipe I can't be bothered to try to get to master anymore lol I already sank like 150hrs

What would really help is a search or just a separate haulage app, but many have suggested already so hopefully something will come to make it easier as at Senior the list of missions can get to 200 lol

[hollow sedge]

What traiding route do yall recommend me for my c1

[zealous kindle]

Yeahh update

[small galleon]

I'm close to pulling the trigger on the damn Starlancer. Curse you!

[sonic forum]

What’s the plan here? Are you upgrading something or it’s a FRESH non warbond full cash purchase?

[small galleon]

Common sense would dictate chain starting with the Taurus. But I've been told I don't have that, so I might just get it straight cash? But man seems like a redundant addition when you already have a Taurus

[sonic forum]

Let me tell you this, i won’t go against the Connie because i love it, but when i was taking decisions myself i was thinking:

Which one i can buy in game? Not the Starmax for sure. Then, i can just grind trading and salvaging to buy the Constellation again, while having a ship that will not come to the in game shop anytime soon

Did the same for the Zeus, then i’ll use em to grind the other ships directly in game

[small galleon]

Oh really? I thought the SL Max was going to be available after IAE lol

[sonic forum]

I don’t know if i’m wrong but here i will press X to doubt 300 times.

[small galleon]

We will have this conversation again when MISC Fortune comes out lol

[sonic forum]

What i can tell you is that you will fly the Starmax for free in some days

Maybe try it first

But saying that sounds hilarious because i’m terrible at waiting

[pallid talon]

its amazing

I bought it and im convincing my friends to get them

[sonic forum]

On my way to IAE!

it's so cool, the entire server is going

[pallid talon]

Im bringing 2 of my friends in the max to IAE

[sonic forum]

I wanted to get the Starlancer there but it’s in Orison, i’ll go with my beloved Andromeda!

[pallid talon]

wait IAE Is in orison?

nvm im stupid

😭

[sonic forum]

Negative, but my starmax is HAHAHHAHA

and i do not have time to go there taking it!!

[craggy tapir]

Its new Babbage

I was just there

[sonic forum]

I’m here and i basically rented everything except the C1

This show looks awesome

[pallid talon]

yeh I love the a1

looks so sick

[sonic forum]

I’ll try the Intrepid straight away, i’m curious

It looks fantastic, not gonna lie

[sonic fiber]

Same here, not real interested in rest. i like sdmall ships

waiting for MISC though to try out a Hull

[distant osprey]

Anyone know where to find a group to run cargo with?

[limpid sluice]

#looking-for-session

[obtuse flower]

Are stims and spirits considered contraband?

[pearl juniper]

I don't believe so. Both can be sold at legal locations. And there are hauling missions thave ask you to deliver stims at least, I don't know about spirits.
