Horizons What is with Rare goods Capacity??!!

Up to unlocking Lori Jameson who requires 25 Units of Kongga Ale. sounds simple enough...

Go to Kongga to find that you can by them for 59cr but are only allowed 4 at a time.... 4?!

I know they are called Rare goods for a reason, but Lavian Brandy is sold 14 at a time.

Why?!

Having just unlocked Ms. Jameson myself I feel your pain but can tell you the cap on K-Ale is 24. That means you still get to make two trips no matter what. But in your case, RNGesus decided on a scale of 1-24, your first trip only rated a 4.

Pray harder next time. You might bag 21+ and be done with it. ;)

Weird, I did this a few weeks ago and was able to get more than the brandy. Think I was stocking 24 or something at a time...
 
Yup - this works. I think the way the cap works is a tad silly, but anyways...

Z...

I'm looking forward to the day when the availability of a rare is limited by the fact that I have to go out on foot and harvest the spleen of the Unicornosaurus after a 5 hour safari in rugged terrain. ;)
 
Seems fair enough to me - shouldn't be TOO easy to unlock them. So it takes a day or two - so what? Part of the gameplay is all.

Rare good availability is affected by system state. Try to do them when the systems are in Boom.

This. I would advise to ask Teabaggers for help. Teabagging in Elite is when a carrier ship stays outside of the rare goods station with collector limpets and other ships carry the goods from the station back and forth. There is a group of players that specialises in this activity. Check them out, they are a very friendly bunch!

... or buy a second account. ;)

You used to be able to self-teabag - ie jettison your cargo, go in the station to grab next load, come back and scoop up your jettisoned cannisters. This didn't work the other day when I tried it, I assume because of the larger no-fire-zone, the cannister instance evaporated when I was so far away, inside the station. Maybe a closer jettison would have worked and just paid off the fine for dumping. In the end I just fired up a second PC and brought over a second commander.
