"Cargo hold full" problem

Mar 01, 2009 Grob link
I now have this problem on one of my ships (Centaur): despite the hold is NOT full (only 37/48cu), when I try to mine, I get message "Your cargo hold is full"; I cannot pick up any floating crate either; jettisonning all or part of cargo hold doesn't help, the "limit" remains 37cu. Selecting another ship and going back to the "buggy" one doesn't help either.
With cargo hold empty (after clicking on Sell All in station), if I select some basic commodity (like acqua ore) and click on Max, it will propose to purchase 48cu. But if I then click on purchase button, then only 37cu will go to my cargo hold!

If you purchase another of the same ship does it still have the problem? This is with the base Centaur or is it a variant?

It was a regular Taur, but bought in Corvus, because I didn't have enough standings otherwise; so I didn't try to get another one at that time. And the cargo "limit" varied from one moment to another (one moment it was 42cu instead of 48cu, and later it was 37cu)
But the problem actually got solved by logging out/in, and seems to be linked to the same bug as the one I have reported in the other thread "Ship disappearing" (some confusion in vo client with ship id's?)

I'm suffering from this bug, too. Standard Centaur, in a mining configuration, can't load *any* cargo (get a "cargo hold full" trying to load anything into it, at the same time as the load/unload screen says it's empty). Another Cent at the same station with a different configuration is able to load/unload fine.

In my case, I'd only just bought the thing, loaded it up with mining gear, did one load OK then on the next load it was extracting merrily, but nothing was going into the hold. Then it said "cargo hold full", but it looked empty, and the problem has persisted ever since.

I've bought a new Cent, but kept the old one around in case the devs want to pick at it and work out what's gone wrong.

Try this method. load up on max cargo of a 1 cu item. launch, then goto the cargo tab, eject all, check the cargo in space and count the cu's, see if there's something in there that was not showing up correctly. if you pick it up does it still show the lower cu's or the max cu's?

blacknet,

If your comment was directed at me: I can't try your suggestion, as my centaur can't load up with *anything*.

Another data point: I just went to have a look at my 'taurs that were buggy, and their cargo is back. I don't know if something got fixed behind the scenes, or if it's a bug that only exists for the lifetime of a session...

I just had this bug in a heavy moth while mining. First trip I got the hold full and returned to sell only to find half a load. I did the jet all in space and it dumped out 73 cu of aquean. I then returned to mine some more and while I got points for denic All i ended up with in the hold was everything else. I tried to jettison again but still no denic... :{

Later: Denic back but now Van azek does not register... same ship.
