Fleet Carrier Transfer Mode - Broken

[Kennzo]

Issue: Transferring goods from FC to ship zero out making it impossible to transfer off the carrier any goods.

On and off I've had this issue for some time, a simple relog, change from open to solo or change ship usually works, but not anymore.
Whatever goods I try and transfer from FC to ship zero out and do not transfer to the ship.
Are there any workarounds to this that Cmdrs have found to resolve the issue?

My FC is quickly running out of Tritium and I cannot transfer further from the hold to ship to then dump in the Trit depot - Help would be appreciated.
Thank you

I'm having trouble with a similar issue, in that transferring any sort of stolen goods from my carrier to my ship doesn't work. (Is your tritium stolen, by any chance?)

And even if its not stolen, I constantly find I need to transfer it 2-3 times for it to actually happen.

Whenever I have such issues I try it via Horizons... maybe it is worth giving it a shot

The issue applies to all goods in my FC hold.
None of these are stolen.

Thanks, I'll install Horizons and give it a go.

I transferred 700 odd tons of Tritium to my T9 yesterday and it worked fine, so not sure where the issue is coming from, I will do another transfer later just in case it's a new issue, but I am wondering of maybe it's a problem with the controller not registering the confirm button press for transfer. Can you test it using the standard keyboard controls and see if it does the same thing?

Really? How exactly are you doing it. Are you using the transfer function from your ship's cargo panel? (currently disabled here, since there's no cargo in the hold) Works for me. Wouldn't be the first time where the most obvious method doesn't work with ED. But that's not an Odyssey specific thing, that's FDev style! (don't forget the confirm button after your selection. I have a vague suspicion what you're doing. At the beginning, I also cut my teeth on it)

Long time player of Elite, thanks for the guidance, but I've transferred countless times in the past with no issue, and this bug isn't new, but relogs in the past that worked, are not working now.
Thank you

Same thing.

Thank you Koben!
Loading into Horizons and then transferring seems to have solved the issue as a workaround.
Not ideal, but gets me going again.

What I have noticed now I go back into Odyssey is that the issue only relates to the transfer of Tritium, as in it won't let me transfer any to the ship.
I can still transfer other commodities, but not Tritium.

Looks like you have connection issues. I do transfers both directions once per 5 minute last 10 hours. Everything is OK.

 

[Kennzo]

I'm wondering if there is some 'glitch' with the Tritium I'm carrying, so I'm going to sell it off in Horizons, and try again afresh.
Will post here on the progress for future reference.

Thanks for the reply.
What do you mean by 'connection issues' when other commodities transfer OK, but not the Tritium?
Thanks

Not sure. I had "no transfer" when server lags/bad connection. Now all is working for me.

SUMMARY:
ISSUE:
Unable to transfer Tritium from my FC to ship in Odyssey.
Each attempt seems to transfer and then zero's out when you confirm.
Perhaps caused by an earlier connection issue, but whatever the cause the Tritium seems to be somehow 'glitched'
THE TEMP SOLUTION:
Log in to Horizons and transfer Tritium in the normal manner.
PERMANENT SOLUTION:
Log into Horizons, clear out all Tritium from the FC and sell.
Log back into Odyssey, and any new Tritium can now be freely transferred between FC and ship.

Hope this helps future Cmdrs, thank you to all for the pointers in the direction to an eventual solution.

Simillar issue in EDH, playing in vr if i start to transfer to ship and lose focus or look away i can no longer regain focus on the tranfers panel, i can focus on contact and comms panel but not the ship\transfer panel, only way to resolve is to log out n back in.
