Down the dark path...

As someone currently hauling 280T of foetid, grotesque ichor, I think I know where OP is coming from. Now, if only I can find where on the repair screen it lets me choose to get rid of the rats. The damn rats, scritching. Always scritching. Never see them of course, but they're there, I tell you.

Ye can keep yer rats! I'll take the foetid, grotesque ichor though--sounds interestin'. ;)
 
The only reason I can think of is so that traders don't lose all their cargo to wings... but even at that it's peculiar. If you're really low on Credits you could just go to solo if you choose to. Most of the pirates out there are solo, too and have much lower cargo holds than you do generally so nerfing this is odd. Cobra's for instance can hold, what, a max of 62T? A Type 6 for example holds 112, Type 7 232 and Type 9 532. Considering a Vulture only has a max cargo capacity of 52... It's somewhat surprising.

Perhaps a little too forgiving on traders considering 1/4 their haul shouldn't be much of an impact unless it's happening 24/7.

I hope one day piracy becomes buffed enough that I can steal all of a target's cargo. This seems very Blackbeardey to me, and very fun. After an entire hold stolen though, I'd like to see a seriously large bounty on my head. I'm talking a hundred thousand or more.
 
Well I filed a support ticket and after one day no replies from anyone at FD. I've managed to hold back the demon for one night. He was speaking to me, tempting me, teasing me, but somehow, some way I managed to resist and not go down the dark path.

I'm not sure I'll be able to do this again tonight. The murderous rampage might begin. All those poor souls in space ships, I fear for them. NO! I must not!

Oh, feel free to express discontent and more importantly, concern and confirmation here:

It must be a placeholder for a better fix.. It MUST be...

I do not believe FD is incapable of designing anything else than a GLOBAL limit instead of only in station/outpost instances.. But the light is fading as we do not hear anything from the dev of why this limit is implemented as it is.

I don't know anymore, perhaps we overestimate how flexible and customizable that whole engine (in conjunction with the P2P networking) really is ?
 
Well, folks, we have an answer!

I quote

It is by design. This is to stop groups of players from lagging normal space. Example - a group of 25 players decide to jettison more than 20+ cargo each out side a Starport, this could lag out some players PCs.

Piracy is dead. I--I can feel myself... changing... inside. NO! OUT! NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Some unemployed pirate somewhere to someone in some spaceship in some starsystem: "This is gonna hurt you... a lot more than it is gonna hurt me."

Make it stop! End the madness! Fix the problem, FD! Please! Don't... make us turn... to... more sinister careers...

I hope not.. That would really be a major let down if they do not change this after they get the critical bugs lurking from 1.3 fixed.



I am gonna change my macro message into:

"Hello sir. I am sorry to disappoint you but due to a recent "fix" by FD regarding 20 canister limit, I feel like taking your life instead of robbing you.
Feel free to file a complaint / support ticket to FD."

:)
 
So there's no fix. No word from ED other than the change was intended. Innocent pilots who die by my sword... that will be intended too.
