All I know is it was an abandoned Caiman Hauler (the pilot ejected during a faction battle, it was not one spawned by the script) that I claimed by targetingTECSG wrote:Okay, there is an option in SCS to 'colourize names' so you can better see different classes or tasked ships, but if you haven't used that option, that's not the problem!
Let me know if you find out what was reporting the blank message, I should then be able to troubleshoot the problem.
it and using the SCS command to "claim" the ship. I then stopped it from docking, repaired the hull with my space suit and renamed it.
After docking it and adding some shields and a copy of the SCS software, I sent it to Elena's Fortune using the "Collect all wares in sector (any ship)"
command and I set the "notify me when task complete" option in the Commands menu.
About an hour later i got an "Incomming Message" alert and when I opened it there was no text. I didn't know what it was for at first but when I
checked my hauler and noticed it wasn't doing anything, I used the SCS command to tell it to collect wares and immediately got another blank message. At this point,
I looked at the ship and saw the freight was full.
Strange thing is it doesn't seem to do this if you claim but don't rename the ship. Also, if you buy a ship and rename it the messages work properly.
If it helps, these are the mods / scripts I'm using (it was an X3AP save, started as "custom game"):

NOTE: I don't have this save anymore but I just claimed another abandoned hauler (Argon this time) in my new game. Haven't renamed it yet but I will comment if it also has the same problem.
