coram Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 If any of you are old Stratics peeps you might recognise my name. I dont Mod or IRCop there anymore, (damn EA for dropping Origin!), but if your a familiar face let me know!I have to say this game is growing more and more addictive by the day. Heh, I actually live for over an hour in game now. What a steep learning curve!I do have a query to throw out there to do with Cargo Pod collection. If I send a shuttle or even fly one out to collect one myself I cant seem to locate the cargo.I see the shuttles pick them up with the "cargosweep" command, but the cargo is absent (I think) when the shuttle comes back. I read the manual cover to cover, and searched here for a more detailed answer, but I must simply be doing something wrong.Sorry in advance for my extreme newbiness.

Charles Lindsey Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 Some are empty and some are booby trapped. You can view to see if they have any cargo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coram Posted January 4, 2002 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Thanks, I had not yet discovered the virtues of the manifest display before I got a booby trapped one. Lesson learned.However, when collecting a pod that shows various contents, and none of said contents are already on my CC, I still find difficulty locating them after they have been collected (cargoswept) and the shuttle has returned to the CC.Again, my apologies for a query that must seem lame in the extreme for some.

Unload the shuttle that collected the cargo. The items are then distributed to the proper cargo bay/weapons pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, just crown me the Newb King and get it overwith... heres the new sitch...I destroyed an enemy ship and saw a cargo pod floating... I used SMD to view pod contents, and noticed several things I know I do not have onboard (i.e Leather).I dispatched SC1 to Cargosweep said pod. SC1 reported "Cargo retrieved", and I ordered SC1 to RTB.Upon notification SC1 has docked, I checked Logistix --> Cargo ---> CC & SC1. No Leather or any other observed Pod Manifest in either craft. I decide to land on a moon to get rest and find to my dismay the moon is not pleasant, take damage ,leave, and I find a friendly Earthcom Station, I dock, and am told I am in violation with Illegal contriband. So, obviously the shuttle got the pod back to my CC, I`m just not looking in the right place.You may be pleased to know I am in fact, not retarded.

me Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 Go to Tactical --> Loadout --> SC1 --> Cargo.If your shuttle reported that it retrieved it, that is where it will show.Edit: the relevant page in the Manual is 42. The last paragraph, it provides a few more details.[ 01-04-2002: Message edited by: Melcar ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
