Cargo Space Available Info

Florenus · Apr 29, 2019

I suggest adding this information somewhere on Trasport Mission Page (it wouldn't hurt to have this info everywhere else cargo space is mentioned tbh.).

When trying to find cargo missions to fill my ship's hold I must constantly check Right hand panel / inventory tab / Ship's Cargo (in the meantime mission page closes and I need to reopen it again, but that's minor issue). Then I must do calculations to know how much cargo space I have left - maybe those are easy substractions, but it's another repetitive and unnecessary step. How refreshing it would be to have this info right next to amount of haulage f.ex.?

Cargo: Cobalt (120) / Cargo space available: (345 of 750)

Agreed, generally I want to know how much space is left empty, not just how much I have already filled.

Yeah, I wondered why this isn't a standard part of the interface.

Ok I decided to give it another go with voice packs and all, however My rep has gone down because I couldn't deliver my cargo to the destination. It showed that my cargo was there on the ship but when I got to my destination, it showed that I didn't have my cargo when I tried to complete the mission. Has anyone else had this problem??

Sounds like you bought the goods rather than transfer them from the depot - I think we all did that once

No sir, I bought the cargo first. I then had the cargo transferred from the depot to the ship. That part worked. I then took off to my destination. When I got to my destination, it showed that I didn't have cargo and it would not let me transfer the cargo off of my ship. It just stayed unhighlighted and could not do anything. When I went to my inventory, it showed that my cargo that I purchased was on my ship. So anymore ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Did you get the cargo from the commodity market or the Missions menu? Some missions require you to purchase cargo as well as transport it, others only to transport supplied cargo.
Since you say you bought it, you may have had the latter type mission, in which case your droids are not the droids they're looking for. That cargo would still need to be picked up from the missions menu at the mission's origin station.

I bought it from the Commodity Market. Then I transported it on the ship. Ok you mentioned droids. I have not experienced droids yet. It would be greatly appreciated if you can explain. I haven't played in a while so that's kinda new to me.

There are two basic kinds of cargo missions:
1.Deliver cargo mission
2.Supply cargo mission
The first kind (identified by an icon representing cargo container and an arrow, symbolizing taking cargo away) gives you cargo that you must load on mission screen, then transport it to designated port. This cargo is then identified in your inventory screen as "haulage". It's unique to the mission and cannot be replaced by cargo bought on the market.
Second kind of missions (identified by two arrows, facing opposite directions) requires you to go somewhere, buy required cargo, then return and give it away on the mission screen.

If you got the first kind of mission and bought cargo on the market, instead of loading it on the mission screen after accepting mission, then even if you have the same type of cargo in the hold, you'll not be able to unload it on the mission screen in the destination port and complete the mission. You must load mission unique cargo on the mission screen.

"your droids are not the droids they're looking for" was the reference to Star Wars - sentence indicating in this case, you probably got wrong type of cargo.
