The E8 Cargo Rack is gone from my T9

So it's been over a year since I last used my Type 9. I had it maxed out on cargo. Today I jump in it and one of my 256 Cargo Racks is missing. I've checked and it's not in storage.

Soooooo what's the deal? What happened the rack?

Hmm interesting. I could have sworn i had 7 hundred something cargo slots in it last time i used it.

Max cargo capacity was 532 tonnes, this was increased to 788 Tonnes with the extra class 8. Also a slight reduction to hull mass to help with thruster maximum mass limits and jump capability.

I particularly enjoyed the way the OP posted up a picture which clearly shows an empty C8 slot, which means the cargo rack must have gone missing, right? :p

No... it was a year ago since you played the game, correct?

Here is what happened.

Lakon came up with an anti-thargoid combat ship... based on the Type-9. This ship is called Type 10 - Defender. When it came out, it turned out to be much better than the Type 9 transporter... same cargospace, but better on all aspects regarding weapons, hull and maneuverability.

So, FD decied to make Type 9 great again, by adding a second Class 8 slot; which now makes it very close to a Cutter, regarding cargospace.

EDIT: Essentially... there were no point in flying a Type 9, if they didn't add that change to it. And to be honest, it added a good balance to the cargoships. While a Cutter is way better than the Type 9 (not so much cargospace but all other aspects), it still makes the Cutter the best trading ship in the game, but it is nice to have a non-ranklocked alternative that can do similar deliveries.

As i said, the ship was maxed out and now it's not. Also I thought it had 700 something cargo space when i played it which is why i thought the cargo rack disappeared when the update that divided everything took place.

Yeah. Being away from this game for almost a year, and comming back to it when lots of stuff has happened, it is hard to grasp all the things that has gone into the game since a year ago. And, ontop of that, remembering everything.... I play every day, so I am up to speed with most things.

A bit sad to see that so many wanted to give you a hard time and make fun of you, for not knowing stuff. :/
