ANNOUNCEMENT Tritium Depot Refills

Only a possible bug if it would have happened to more than one. Otherwise it's support time and send them your log files. A possible thesis would be that it only happened on full tanks, but that would require some evidence. If you're the only one, I'm afraid your word alone is not enough.
Are you privy to information I'm not? Who said it isn't happening to more than one?
In fact there are reports of Tritium being taken from cargo let alone the fuel tank.
I also resent the fact you imply I am lying. Why would I?
 
Have Fleet Carriers be able to scoop Tritium from Tauri stars - Those types are otherwise useless to gameplay except as a deterrent -
 
I've found a possible explanation to what could have happened here. There seems to be a bug with the transfer option: After transferring Tritium from my ship to the carrier, this Tritium was automatically set to export (at galactic average!).

No, not my problem. My FC fuel tank is being drained.

Or, if you are lucky, Bruce Garrido might react to this message. Would possibly be better than wasting your time with this crappy issue tracker.
I'm not wasting my time with the game now. I'll sell my FC, problem solved. I have plenty of other (bug free) games to amuse myself with and may come back to ED in the future.
 
If you sell Tritium from your FC and everything is sold, it looks like there’s no longer a sell order running when you look at the Commodity Market - but there is. It’ll start again as soon as you transfer Tritium to your FC. But when there’s no Tritium in the FC there’s no way to stop the sell order cause there no way to see that the order is still running. So you have to have Tritium on your FC to stop it. I think that’s what surprises many Cmdr’s. I’ll call it an oversight and not a bug. I have sold a lot of Tritium from my FC and spotted this early on. It isn’t a problem when you are aware of it, but many aren’t.

The best way to fix it IMO would be to make it possible to set the amount you want to sell when you activate the sell order - just as you can do now with buy orders. And perhaps also have an option to start an ongoing sell order as we have now so you can refill the FC without having to start new sell orders all the time.

So I think the majority of people would be placated if the weekly upkeep was suspended until the patch comes out and 2000t of tritium a week to all FC outside the bubble.
I know its not easy popping your head up Bruce but thank you for giving us what you can.

Absolutely. Why this wasn't an option from day 1 is a mystery to me. But, then again, a lot of things are with the dev team's decisions. You'd THINK that you would be able to state that you're willing to sell X amount of Y instead of just "hey, you can buy X here until you've cleaned me out. Buy pants here. Heck, buy my own, my wife and children's pants too! It's not like I might need some for my own purposes!"
 
List of features in ED that "obviously should be there, but they are missing" would be probably be not much shorter then list of star systems discovered so far.
 
+20 trips to fill the carrier's cargo with Tritium ... why couldn't you buy directly from the station and fill the entire cargo at once?
Tritium is on the station. FC cannot approach or land at the station, though it can orbit nearby. Transporter tech not yet invented, so beaming the Rocket Tea aboard the FC isn't the answer -- gotta be ship transport. Many have suggested, not without merit, that an NPC crew from the FC could do the transport, but that would require another ship type to carry along, one dedicated to tritium transport, and they would be subject to piracy just like Commanders, or the entire ED Crime & Punishment paradigm would be severely bent if not broken. Given their recent performance, I really don't want to see FDev try to develop a whole new NPC transport scenario and implement it, things are fractured enough as it is. So Commanders do it, as they have the best chance to accomplish the transport mission(s).

It's a conspiracy.
FD intentionally chooses solutions that will make us force doing simple, mindless activities for hours to be able to do more interesting stuff later.
This degrades our mental capabilities and results in neglecting real life matters.
Finally we will fail to pay our home loan/mortgage, banks will take over everything we own, we end as homeless hobos.

What I don't know yet, it's if FD is just pure evil and does it for the kick of destroying our lives, or they have some secret contracts with banks and get financial benefits from this devilish plan.

Probably both.

question for fdev, when tritium mining fixed, will there also be a fix for non existent supply at stations for us non minners?
 
how is 17 units per station plenty? and yes sag a , colonia and beagle point should sell tritium.

WAT?

I guess you have missed "not the cheap one" in my previous post.
