Content of cargo modules ?

Post by atlana »

hi guys, got a question, where can i see what a ships cargo-modules has loaded-up as contents in those cargo-modules?

I'm asking because, a manually ordered to repair construction-ship is 'looping' repairing (is not finishing, but is not quitting either) my educated guess is, it ran out of materials/resources to repair - is that the case? if Yes, where can i see what constructions ships have loaded in raw materials ?

cheers

I don't think you can. It would be nice to explore individual ships also for when they take component damage.

You can. You click on its name on the info screen on bottom left, IIRC, and it will open up the Ships and Bases screen to that ship. At the bottom is a Cargo tab. If you have a resource thats reserved but theres none in stock, thats the hangup.

That won't, however, let you see damaged components, unfortunately.

I have over 700 planets...
I have a few dozens of older designs, but most are of latest design... of those I have:
3496 small freighters
2740 medium freighters
1509 large freighters
486 passenger ships

Do you have any idea how long it takes for me to open that screen? let me tell.. when I do windows tells me distant worlds stopped responding and I have to click "wait for this program to respond" 3 times! (the other option is close this program now).
I should not have to open that window to see the cargo of one ship!

While I agree, Taltamir, that one shouldn't have to open that screen, the fact remains that that IS a way to see what is in the cargo of ships. Which is what he asked.

my mistake, I thought he was asking for the ability to view it without opening that screen.
