Oh well, here we go again then. :rolleyes:

Went to station in T9, picked up 756 tons of tritium and made it safely back to carrier. After docking, went to R/H panel in ship, then Inventory and the 756 tons of tritium showed there.

Went to Transfer and clicked on "confirm transfer to carrier" (or some wording like that) and the tritium then showed as gone from ship. Clicked on Carrier Management but tritium doesn't show any more in the fuel tank than what I had before.

Clicked on Tritium Depot but shows zero Tritium. Clicked on carrier Commodities Market and doesn't show there. I was clicking all over the place, but no joy...

Have I missed something? Cheers guys. :geek:

Sounds like you transferred the tritium to your carrier's cargo hold? Transfer it back to the T-9 using inventory, then go to Tritium Depot, select the amount to 'donate' and you should be sorted :)

But you're only going at normal thruster speed. Supercruise is an Alcubierre drive warp so your ship isn't actually travelling at relativistic speed.

Granted, going down from several hundred metres per second to virtually zero quite quickly would normally be bad for you as a soft squidgy human, but I can't see why a well-built ship would splatter itself across the star system.

Sometimes I've gone right through a station...

Thanks! That seems to have worked, in as much as the tritium depot now shows 509 units of tritium when I donated 756 tons. Navigation shows "Tritium Reserves 1000/1000 units." So it's all pretty much clear as mud and I guess yet another example of how user-enemy this game is. :unsure:

Before I bought the Tritium but after I had jumped the carrier 28 LY to another system, there was a screen somewhere (might have been Navigation, not sure,) that showed my fuel tank was down from 500 to 491 units of tritium so the jump must have used 9 units, but I can't find that screen now to see if it's gone up from 491...

Go to carrier management. Look in the Navigation screen "Tritium Reserves". ( you don't have to be on your carrier (can be accesed from ship or foot)

Aye, I clicked on pretty much everywhere I think, including that one. Mine shows "1000/1000 units" but I don't know why after I transferred 756 tons. I guess 1 ton of tritium isn't the same as 1 unit then is it?

Also are those reserves in my carrier fuel tank, or somewhere else? Cheers!

It will let you fill the depot up to 1000t/unit (they are the same, I think!) and anything else will still be in the hold of your ship; transfer the rest to the carrier hold.

Nice place, BTW ;)

Um... no, I haven't :D Do I need one? My SRV is picking up scavengers though.

T10 here for bulk stuff - i actually discovered it could do decent core mining too when i lucked upon an LTD rock in a Tritium field a while back... if my internet gets better i might be able to upload a leetle video sometime :]

In Carrier Management>Settings> you'll find 'Docking Access'. When it's set to 'All', any old reprobate can wander on board and write 'TR woz ere' on the seats 😄

Ah ok. Thought I might have to sack my security personnel for a moment. :ROFLMAO:

Oh and by the way, I've searched and can't find anything in Carrier Management that shows the carrier cargo hold. So I have a carrier fuel tank, a tritium depot AND a carrier cargo hold? Or has FDev made it nice and easy such as you can only view the contents of that hold from a ship or something, and not from the carrier itself? :sleep:

The key words there are well built. How well the ship was then maintained might have a bearing as well.

I am reminded of the NASA astronaut commenting on sitting on top of hundreds of tons of explosive mixture in a machine built from thousands of components all supplied and assembled by the low bidder, especially when I compare the cost of a ship to that of a suit.
