cschoch Posted October 4, 2001 Report Posted October 4, 2001 I seem to be having a problem when it comes to unloading my mining drones' cargo into my battlecruiser's cargo bay. For example: If I load up all 4 mining drones with minerals and try to unload their contents into the main cargo hold on th BC I cant because the hold is full. So what I have to do is dock the ship, sell the minerals I have currently stored in the cargo hold, launch the ship, unload the minerals from the remaining drones into the BC's cargo hold and start the process all over again...Sometimes I have to do this several times to get rid of all the minerals onboard. Is there an easier way to unload all the cargo without having to launch everytime? Thanks!
Charles Lindsey Posted October 4, 2001 Report Posted October 4, 2001 No. You could get a tad more room by moving some stuff to the transporter thereby freeing up space to unload more minerals at a go.
cschoch Posted October 4, 2001 Author Report Posted October 4, 2001 Hey SC! Will this be addressed in BCM? I hope so...It would be really convienient to unload all cargo in one shot, rather than having to launch and re-dock constantly. Well, thanks for your time! (And thanks for answering, Charles!)
Papi Posted October 4, 2001 Report Posted October 4, 2001 You can use your shuttles and ATV's as a cargo holds too and free some cargo space that way.It's not addressed in BCM, simply because there's nothing to address.If you run out of space, that's it.

As Papi said, there's nothing to address.However, in BCM when you dock, you have access to the cargo holds of your CC and all support crafts.
Cmdr Nova Posted October 5, 2001 Report Posted October 5, 2001 Hmm... What to say...It's for realism. Just like you have so much room in a box to put stuff in, you only have so much space in a cargo bay. (We didn't say the game would be easy! It's a strategy game. As in you have to think. Work with it/around it!)---Nice to see such an open newbie. At least you asked nicely. Welcome aboard.[ 10-04-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]
Epsilon 5 Posted October 5, 2001 Report Posted October 5, 2001 What is weird is being sble to fit the drone in a shuttle, but not being able to fit all the gathered minerals in the shuttle that had some 1750 unit of space remaining.
cschoch Posted October 5, 2001 Author Report Posted October 5, 2001 Yes, that is my point. I just think it's too time consuming to have to launch everytime I want to unload my mining drones' contents into my BC cargo bay. But like SC said, this will not be an issue because you will be able to access all of your support ships cargo bays' while being docked at a starstation. At least thats what I think he meant...
Cmdr Nova Posted October 6, 2001 Report Posted October 6, 2001 I'm sure that's what he meant. I'll go check the BCM Episode 2 Demo right now, just to be on the safe side. Aren't I just helpful?BRB in a few.
Gallion Posted October 6, 2001 Report Posted October 6, 2001 When the SC says something, then that is how it works.All CC areas are accessable while docked.Try the Episode 2 demo.TTFN
Cmdr Nova Posted October 6, 2001 Report Posted October 6, 2001 Yep, everything is accessible from the Station menu, just as if you were accessing the computer from your bridge. (Sorry I didn't reply sooner.)
