Cargo Stacking Issue (CSR Trophy)
Not a very important bug and please in no way see this as a complaint or something I personally need fixing, I do not care about the trophies, I can always get more with (hopefully) even faster times, so with that said:
When cargo items of similar types stack in a station, or in space, they inherit the oldest items properties. This isn't usually an issue, but it has broken my CSR trophies. I accidently unloaded them both at the same station, and now they both have the same date and time "stamped" upon them.
Another example of this bug is to buy an ec-89 and an iceflare and equip it, then buy another and SWAP them so the oldest is now in station cargo (this bit is important, or you will simply deplete the one in storage). Undock and fire off a few rockets, dock then unequip the iceflare, now re equip it, and undock, voila, free refills.
Anyway, if you are considering giving out items for trophies, it may be an idea to put the time stamp in the title, or a number, or make it so they don't stack, or fix this stack issue. I'm not bothered about mine personally (They are in Sub Ohms station inventory in Odia J-11 if you would like to view them); I will get more and keep them separate, but the free ammo thing might be worth a look? Been that way as long as I remember but do not remember seeing it reported so you may be unaware too.

Thanks for the report. The trophy stacking issue will be fixed in the next server update.
As for ammo refilling, if you swap the iceflares after reequiping it, you will see that the other iceflare actually has less ammo.
What happens is that when the iceflares are stacked, all of their ammo are summed together. When the item is unstacked (when equipping, for example) that new item is fully loaded, and the others now have less cumulative ammo.
In your example, if you kept firing some iceflares and unequip/reequip it, you will eventually run out of ammo.
If this is not what you're seeing, let us know.

You are of course right about the second part raybondo, sorry for mis-reporting. But thanks for the quick fix!
