Hi
I'm not sure if there is a better place to post this but today I've stumbled upon a "softlock" when taking an APEX shuttle from a prison ship.
My first time with a bounty on my head (fired lasers at hostile at the edge of no fire zone, 500cr) and I turned myself in with a cargo hold full of stuff for the current CG.
Was banished to a location over 60ly from Minerva and thought that I might take an APEX back. (otherwise 7 jumps with that T-8)
Turns out that I can't switch to my long range ship because the current one has cargo but I also can't travel back because the prison ship has no drop off point.
To get back into the game, i was "softlocked" into transfer of my T-8, but I had to discard the cargo for that.
I wrote this post to point out that the transfer description is misleading, as the information box says that I have to transfer my current ship to remove/sell cargo (picture with the ASPX), while its not possible to transfer unless I discard all the cargo in my current ship.
I can shoulder the loss (~3mil and 30mins) but it would have been helpful to have a pop up that the APEX shuttle can't fly back.
(if a Mod reads this, could you forward the misleading description to the dev board? Must have been an oversight, thanks)
Lessons learned is that I'm never going to hand myself over to the authorities again as its faster and cheaper to look for an interstellar factor some stars away.
If a new(er) player reads this, I can only advise you to do the same...
