There is a probably already known bug. Cargo disappears when you switch between the bays.
For example: Fill each bay up with 30t of anything. Then switch the bays. It works in both directions.
In some of the bays cargo will disappear. You will see it happen instantly.
I have windows 7 64-bits. Oolite 1.75 test.
Unfortunately I have not seen any bay get filled up with cargo yet.
With a maintenance-cost of 20 000 credits ( 1 % of the price of the ship ), one would probably need it.
Specially as cargo disappears.
I don't fly a Vortex, but did look into the code when making my illegal goods OXP which does interact with the Vortex code if that is what the player is flying. I didn't notice any disappearing cargo in my testing.

I am using Vortex V 1.10 and I have no problems with it. I am sure Thargoid will sort that and I didn't have a clue the version is upgraded to v 1.11, I will give a try.

Made a little research.
It seems that more than I have encountered this problem.
Ex:
Definetly Vortex is one of them,
My favorite ship since OXP is released,
Only there is a bug which I could not identify about cargo handling.
Doing a little trading on the side, I've several times experienced cargo simply disappearing for no good reason. Since this hasn't been my primary concern, I haven't been paying too much attention, so I figured that I must've overlooked a message of cargo destroyed, or that the warp bubble or whatever got destroyed, taking the entire contents of one bay with it.
But it was nagging me enough that I decided to start from scratch.
Loaded up the fresh Vortex save game, bought 14 furs, 1 booze and 2 food and jumped to Zaonce. Avoided all attempts at picking a fight, and docked at the station. Sold the cargo, bought some scanner equipment, and spent the remaining cash on Computers. At least I think I did. I'm 95% sure. Quit Oolite, did other stuff, went to bed, etc etc.
Restart Oolite, load save game. Cargo hold empty. I'm beginning to think I'm hallucinating. Time to test thoroughly.
So, same procedure. Start from scratch, buy furs, booze and food, jump to Zaonce, sell cargo. Then I bought 1 ton of food, and saved the game.
Quit Oolite. Restart Oolite. Load commander. Hold now contains 14 furs, 1 booze and 2 food. Credit balance still contains the profit from selling those very items: 112.8 on top of the starting 1000.
Save game available if you want it.
This bug has been reported before, and I thought it'd been squashed (it relates to the start-up actions of the script when re-loading a save game).
V1.11 is the current version, but it may be worth deleting your copy and redownloading it and confirming if the issue is still there. I will also try out your procedure and see if I can repeat the issue if I get chance this week.

Ok.
I will download it again.
Who knows. Maybe some electrons went the wrong way last time.
Same thing. Cargo disappears when switching between the bays.
It started at once. Had not saved and reloaded.
A rather rare ship. Can be hard to find.
First time I tested it I found it at once.
Second time too.
But this time it took me two hours!!
Went through a lot of Galaxy 2. Then I was stuck so to avoid to go backwards I jumped to Galaxy 3. After some time I found one there. Didn't believe my eyes.
0.05 chance. 5 % chance. 1 in 20. And only TL 11 and upwards. And Mr Murphy always has his eyes on me.
Okey dokie, I'll try and find some time to review the scripting and sort it out. RL is getting rather stupidly hectic at the moment, but I'll see what I can do.

No panic! At least not for me.
I am using Boa Clipper right now for Cargo missions.
No one would ever believe those contracts I have got.
It is hard not to become a millionare.
It is tricky with Vortex to do these missions as you suddenly goes down in ranking and has to ship other things than Platinum, Gold and Gemstones.
And in Vortex you have just access to 30 T in a deal.
It is a rather wide ship. You cannot use fule-stations. Just fuel-sattelites.
But with fuel-pods that doesn't matter very much.
It is a rather strong ship. And brilliant for smuggling!
What about making:
- a lesser version of the Vortex (without the nifty comp and with less missile bays and/or cargo bays) around 900k price mark?
- a greater version with, say, 2 100t bays?
Not keen, although I might do something similar as a different ship.
On the main subject of the thread, I've been discussing this issue with Capt. Murphy, who was kind enough to alert me to the thread and then do some testing too. He has a script tweak which he reports as curing the issue, but as yet I've not had time to test it out. With luck I should have time soon to check it over, and if it's a go-er then v1.12 should follow shortly.
