The shift-R cargo selector

Post by TedJ »

I must say I really appreciate the ability to select cargo to jettison using shift-R... problem is, I have to reselect before jettisoning each pod. This makes rescuing the cargo from a beleaguered trader (it's what he would have wanted) a bit of a pain.

E.G. shift-R to Food, jettison, shift-R to food, jettison...

Any chance of having the selection "stick" until either the selected cargo is exhausted or you select another cargo?

It's supposed too, but I've noticed that problem as well. I'll look into it.
