1.0.2.7 Transport freighters are broken - do not load cargo

[Badbonez]

Some transports are going into mining stations, leaving with 100 of a resource, then that cargo just vanishes, and the freighter returns to pick up another 100 resource.

I have attached a save file. Locate Abra Junction 5 Mining station, note the amount of silicon on board, next to it is the freighter Tarnished Courage. Watch as it enters the mining station, only loads 100 silicon, leaves the mining station and the cargo then disappears. Tarnished Courage then circles back and takes another 100 silicon. Over and over. Eventually, it will jump away, with no cargo. If you keep watching, a freighter named Far Force will arrive and do the same dance.

Meanwhile, there are some transports that do take a complete load of resources and returns to a station to off load. But I have seen more than one of these errant freighters, and if that is the case it could explain a lot about resources shortages and maybe game lag.

Anyway, I hope you can fix these things it is very frustrating at the moment.

Tarnished Courage is stupid.rar

I heard reports about freighters dropping the resources from salvaging, on getting a different mission.

I hope those are just teleported to the capitol. It would be confusing, but better then stuff just vanishing.

This isn't salvaging, these freighters are loading from a mining station. And I do not thing the resource is sent to the space port, because I was in a serious Caslon shortage and did not see these being added in.

Where you got the resources that vanish from the Cargo is a small detail.

As for what happens to the cargo:
I have seen a few games that "fail safely". Like if you are in a RPG, trying to loot a container and something goes bump in pathfinding - you still get access to the container inventory, depsite not technically making it to it.
I hope DW2 does the same. But I would not be wondering if does the usual and lets the cargo vanish.

The biggest issue is that freighter is spinning around and around, doing nothing over and over again. And that's just one freighter. Imagine if it's 100 or 1000 freighters doing that. You will be losing out on resources and/or maybe causing game lag if there are enough doing this.
