Something appears to be slightly wrong with cargo collection on certain of my ships.

CODE
>TU 197: Pickup {4444} {30563} {5000} {} {Install - No}

   You picked up 5000 Polar Eels (30563) from AFT Ariel (4444).
   Dumping excess items into AFT Ariel (4444):
       10 Polar Eels (30563).
   Total TU cost for this action is 7

...but...
CODE
| CARGO                                                                        |
| 4990    Polar Eels (30563) - 1 mus                                  4990     |
|                                                                              |
| Cargo: 4990/5000                      Life Support: 1/10                     |


It ought to have been able to pick up the full 5000 MU's. This happened on two of my ships today (the above is Beacon Light (2433); the other was Far Treasure (485)).

Assuming that your email address hasn't changed, I've just emailed you both affected turns.

Looks like something has got into the position that not visible, as it works ok on mine. Whats with the premature plague outbreak it could be anything smile.gif I'll have a look at the data from KJC on monday.

Yup a dose of pre-emptive plague. This has been cleared up.

So is plague supposed to manifest itself as invisible cargo?

(They are pretty nasty bugs taking up 10mus of space!)
David Bethel
Yes the plague transfer routines have been in forever (so have the plague item type). So if an item was accidently given that status, then it would be everywhere before you knew about it smile.gif Which it was.
