Since you're addressing issues can we please have an official word on the 20t cargo limit breaking pvp piracy?
Ok cool. Thankyou for that.
While you're here, can we expect any more news from E3?
Does anyone care that they are losing minor faction reputation to decay every day that a fix for this isn't implemented?
This should be pretty high on the priority list FD. I am fuming that after selling 250 million in exploration to the founders world I go from Allied to Friendly in just 2 weeks. Strongly advise a fix for this ASAP.

We really desperately need FD to publish an official formula for the W&T, so it can be checked if it's working correctly.
That said, I find it absolutely amazing how often this functionality breaks. Makes me very curious how this works on the inside.

There's always been a cap to prevent griefing by dumping canisters to kill everyone's frame rate - it's been there since beta.

Dear Michael. I am not a pirate but I understand their problem. Actually it is very hard for them to profit and it's a shame because pirates are fun and very important part of the game.
Sorry MB, but your 20 cannister limit is really bad !! Punish these guys, not pirates ! How can we expect gain some money, or exploit your wonderfull drones, if i can't ask 100Tons to a T9 ?????????????????? This limit is a shame !

A solution to this may be limitting drops AT stations to 20km from it. In normal space - leave it as it is and we're fixed;]
is it correct that this does not apply to the 5% trading bonus that Torval and Mahon have at rating 2?
Or was it just fixed for Mahon?
also: has someone tried if wings are suddenly working again? or is it still broken?

Has it? I was at big harry's monkey hang out when they dumped multiple T9's filled with palladium for an entire day back in 1.1 and I didn't see any cap then. There was no cap in Lugh and at any of the CG's before 1.3.
We all know station dumping is bad and should be stopped. This new 20t cargo limit should only be in station instances and cz.
It wasn't in the patch notes for 1.3, it was brought up as a bug in the 1.3 beta.
If this is your final word on the subject then a lot of players are going to be disappointed.
It shows you don't play your own game if you think the cap has been in place since beta.
It has broken pvp piracy and it's not just pirates who think it's silly, there's a ton of forum and reddit feedback about this change from players off all professions.

FD please update the support page https://support.elitedangerous.com/kb/faq.php?id=63 with the data.ovx and Root.ovl for the latest patch.
I can't upgrade due to validation errors.
note that doing all the steps in the KB article results with the same error.

Or eject one cargo cannister per hold per cargo type with however-much was spaced inside it. Then allow a pilot to space n of x cargo type in one go. That would reduce the problem significantly.
I am sorry Michael but you seem to be unaware of what exactly we are talking about. There is a limit that makes player-dropped canisters physically explode as soon as a limit of 20 is reached in a normal space instance. And something like that was definitely not in the game since beta.
Here is a video by former pirate CMDR Bangfish who met a very unfortunate trader that didn't unbind his "Drop all cargo" button. You can clearly see more than 20 physical containers of imperial slaves floating around 2:00. This was before 1.3.
The physical limit is what is killing piracy, we would be fine with an option to limit the amount of visually rendered cargo to help low-end PCs.
I second this request! I've been unable to play for the past week and half ever since the 1.3 upgrade due to numerous validation errors and only managed to fix it myself this morning.
Was hoping to play a bit this afternoon until I saw that 1.3.04 was out and ... drum roll please ... more validation errors...
