AGH! for goodness sake load my ship already.

[[VR] Mad Mike]

never seen this bug before but since buying stuff on my carrier to deliver to a colonisation ship almost every time I buy something in then fly to the colonisation ship to find my hold empty
I fly back to my carrier and as soon as I enter the market again my ship then loads. to make it work I have to go in, buy the wares, then leave and go back in again.

which is a pain but even worse when I forget..
the truth is I am only going through the market anyway because if nuse the ship transfer feature on my carrier it transfers at such a slow rate it takes for ever

I have now done 4 runs for absolutely nothing.... given I have 100s to do it's a bit soul destroying

TLDR please fix the buy from market bug and speed up the ship transfer.

Yup it's a very annoying bug, but when you do forget to do the silly dance/workaround, you can just relog to get the game to recognise the cargo. (Kinda crap but less awful than having to return to the carrier.)

buying stuff on my carrier

Just curious, but why do you buy stuff from your own carrier instead of just transferring it?

Because the carrier transfer is super slow and does not speed up over time as buying commodities does.

If you did not visit your market a 2nd time after loading and see no cargo on the target ship, just log out/in, and cargo is there

Oh, Sorry. Did not read the 2nd Post completely

This 'fc bug' I guess is just weird, I cant even buy my fc nor land on any private fc's and it all started about the same time the most recent update came into being about the beginning of March or so......

Said it before, the simplest (?) way to deal with this is just to try and buy more stuff.

Fill your cargo hold, check your cargo inventory and then go back to the buying screen and try to buy stuff again.
If you get a "Cargo hold full" message, your cargo hold really is full (regardless of what your ship inventory says) but if you don't then you still need to load stuff.

as already mentioned. it takes ages to fill a 750 ton ship this way

also.... as an aside. you don't earn any arx this way either. it's worth it just to fill your 400 weekly pot of arx

indeed lots of ways around it. most of which I didn't know about. I am new to fleet carriers.

i will do when i get a sec... in a meeting now, however genuinely dont believe these things make a jot of difference once you go beyond the stage of FD being aware of the issue, which they surely are now.

it will be fixed............. or it wont be fixed.

(but i will vote anyway)

Can't they speed up the transfer option from 40 to like 10 seconds ?
I might have to start using my carrier commodity market also.
Like if it save 30 seconds of time, its worth doing... Oh my god what am I doing with my life, this would save 2hours in building a T3 station.
