It's worse than ever. I get them ALL the fragging time now. New ones too.

My new favorite is m_waiting=12, waiting for the disconnection of all items, and then all my weapons somehow get UNLOADED, when all I was doing was adding or swapping out a single weapon.

Edit:

m_waiting=8
Waiting for cargo to be transferred.

That's my new favorite. It EATS your cargo. I just lost fourty thousand credits thanks to this one. Niiiiiiiiiiice.

Edit:

That's twice in a row it's done this to me in sector 15. TWICE IN A ROW.

Edit again:

This m_waiting=8 bug seems to be related to docking, hitting the console and typing /team to talk. The game interprets the "a" in team as a command in the cargo screen as "Unload All", even though the console is up.

Since the database hasn't determind the price of the widgets in my ships hold yet (they read as zero, then update to the correct price), the game seems to go funky.

The m_waitings are when it gets confused because you are too fast. If, for example, you have a cargo widget selected and hold down b to buy a bunch of them, then let go of b and hit esc at the same time, you'll often get m_waitings.
