"You must empty your cargo hold first" - changing ship

It's warehousing in another dress.
I can think of a few ways to exploit (meaning take advantage of, not violate the game's integrity) holding cargo in a stored ship.
However, none of them are game breaking in any way, nor convey an advantage beyond contracting the time required for some things.
There's some cases where the ability to store and transfer cargo between stored and teh active ship would solve minor issues. One of my pet peeves is taking on a sizable delivery mission in my type 7, only to find that the target destination is a platform I can't land on.

You'll get the same error if you try to sell cargo bays even if you have multiples and are carrying but one good. It's a shortcut FD took to eliminate having to check size of your new hold vs currently loaded capacity.
From a conceptual standard, I agree with you--but if we're going that route, the station should charge a rental fee for the total tonnage of your ship (ship tare, plus cargo weight). That'd be even more realistic.

If the game was based on a true supply/demand mechanic this could be an issue but as of yet it just seems prices are handled by the RL equivalent of legislative decrees.
The temporary storage could be limited to immediate transfer between owned ships and an enforced "must be emptied upon departure" rule.
I hate this, I making money with rares in ASP and Type 7 waiting me in shinrarta.I need to waste half of my cargo in my rare route just to hop in Type 7 to buy new module...Its a stupid solution...
Waste?
Sell it instead.
Or if you're hell bent on wasting it, please waste it somewhere I can scoop it up.
The game needs to implement warehousing.
