Glad to hear that Alloys are now also counted as ores regarding cargo capacity.
However, I just found out the hard way that alloys are not considered ores regarding the Deliver Item Type order: A Lugger of mine had 2500 MUs of light alloys and 3500 MUs of regular ores in pretty odd numbers aboard. So I just ordered it to deliver 6000 of item type ore and proceed on its mission. The ship failed to deliver the 2500 light alloys and continued with only 3500 MU of available cargo space for the following transactions.

There is the item type ore though. I do not see any problem with this. If I was going to do some picking up, I will more likely want to pick up alloys than ores as first choice. Therefore I would need to specify.
If this was a lugger, then it is very unlikely that there is anything else in the cargo, so I would use the deliver 'everything' order as this does not include crew.
