Trivial cargo tonnage bug

Post by Odo987 »

I've just docked, and my status page says I have 0t cargo, but then lists all the stuff I've got in my cargo bay:

If I buy one ton of something, then the correct total tonnage is reported.

If it helps, here's my saved file:

Dual G4, Mac, Tiger, though I doubt this is environment-related.

I often see tonnage calculated incorrectly while in space and then fixed when docking/launch.

This is most likely a result of you having scooped gems/gold/platinum. They are scooped up in 1 tonne canisters into your cargo bay. When you dock you can transfer the stuff to the safe inside your cabin, thereby freeing up cargo space.

This issue comes up on an almost monthly basis. Worth a sticky?
It is generally inadvisable to eject over the target you just bombed.

As you can see from the screen shot, this isn't just a misunderstanding/miscalculation of the precious metals or gems. This is reporting 0t on a cargo bay filled with 27t of stuff.

True enough. I was really just refering to ArkanoiD's observation - you can get "descrepancies" between cargo weights in space versus when docked because of scooping gems/gold/platinum. This of course has nothing to do with your bug report.

Fixed the original problem (mis-reporting on the manifest screen). Thanks.
