Vanishing Cargo

Dec 20, 2005 Person link
Please please please do something, this is a REALLY annoying bug. Ok, so earlier today, I had brought 120 luxury goods from a station 5 systems away back to Initros O12. I already had 240 there, and I was going to sell after this. I entered the station with all 120 in my hold, but when I went to the cargo tab, there was nothing in my hold!!! I brought another 120 back, and it happened again. REALLY annoying!!! I spent almost 2 hours with those two loads, and instead of being able to sell 480 luxury goods at 2842 a piece, I sold my 240 in desperation.

Sorry, but trading is one of my least favorite things to do, and I do NOT like doing more of it than is necessary. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO SOMETHING SOMEBODY!!!

[EDIT] I know some of you think that's petty change, but I seem never to have enough to buy my ships, and every credit counts for me.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? I've never heard of it before.

I've had this happen a couple of times, but it was WAY back in the day....
Nothing like it in the last 2 years...

Calder, when you went to that station 5 systems away to pick up the luxury goods, did you have something in your hold to sell there?

Hmm? Oh yeah, I think so... that is, if we're talking about the same thing...

...and, did you buy the luxury goods *before* you unloaded the other cargo?

LOL I can see where RelayeR is going with this...

No, I bought them after, and I checked multiple times using the jettison function to make sure they were indead lux. goods. (Too many times, I have left a station without selling/buying what I was there for.) But not this time. I made damn sure of that.

I may be stupid, but I know how to keep my stupidity within limits. :D

I jumped through a WH once and noticed a cloud of cargo behind me...thinking "hmmm, free cargo", I turned around to check it out. It was my cargo. I'm totally clueless how it jettisoned as I entered the new System.

I'm suspecting that I tried unsuccessfully to chat while warping and somewhere in there, triggered it.
