My english is not perfect

Hi.

My Rahannas does no work, it is always is blocked in the same place.

I can not sell my 32000 energy cells (note: not is the plot) i only get the message "There are too many trips planned for this ship" but my Rahannas not moving.

My save is corrupt?.

have you tried to open the save and edit the order list for the Rahannas? I have the solution at home, I am also stuck at same problem than you and I cant sell anything and ship is not moving.
Anyway, I will try the save thing and let you know if that worked for me.....

I've thought about, but not affect the save in upcoming patches?

Is reliable and secure?

Thx !

I have the same problem .
I wanted to sell cells

So i went to the array and bought some .
That worked perfectly.
Now i go to an other sector and find a buyer.
This is were it gets nuts!
I checked and i could only sell to this buyer and sold him what he wanted i had more in my ship.
And here is were it goes all wrong my ship which was standing next to the place he first bought the stuff , goes there again and buys more cells.
So to make sure i tried selling some more and 2 times more it does the same .
Now stuck at to many trips and it's following me around like a nice doggy.

Also noticed if you get a discount at a station the station also gets a discount .
So dont explore stations you want to sell to.

if you can upload the save, i will test it out, and see if modifying the save.xml (basically deleting the planned trips the transporter has) fixes the issue.

alright, well i loaded your game, and it wont allow ME to move at all lol, forget about trading hahaha, i thnk ur save might be buggered.

anyways, in general, all issues with the trading (too many planned trips) and your trader not moving, can be fixed by editing the save xml, searching for <shopping> and deleting everything after it up until </shopping>

This is certainly not true, I tried this to no avail. Then restarted and saved prior to the trade mission and have tried everything but Rahanas will not move when issued an order. And it is definitely not an order number issue because the order number is at 0 on the save I am using.

There is definitely something else which causes rahanas to do nothing but follow you from zone to zone and then sit there like a lemon.

I have tested trading other trade orders and this appears to work OK so I think there is a problem specifically with the scripted 100 energy cell trade at that station.

um, well if the order number is 0, then it currently has no orders, you need to ask it to do the trade again (since deleting the <shopping> tells it to forget about it)

try re-issuing an order to rtrade, then open the map and see if it starts moving (slow but moving)

No you misunderstand me... I saved prior to trading. Because It had bugged before. So every time I load that particular save the ship has 0 orders. When I issue orders the number increases but it does nothing.

1: Make sure you are sending your freighter to the correct docking port (Its easy to get them mixed up if there are more than one in a sector).

2: Make sure you have enough goods on board to meet the trade agreed (If you are sending one freighter to cover two sales make sure he has enough left after first sale)

3: Save lots!

I have got trading working quite well, though i must admit it's not very intuitive.

Other confusions seem to be when there is a trade mission on the same station you are selling goods too, but i cant confirm this atm.

did you check the freighter info screen to see if there are freight drones in use? if there is go into the editor and change that. see if that helps

I finally got past this part. Here are the steps I took

Save upon entering system
Flying to mission waypoint at station
listening to yisha
Choose either option

Either Submit buy order now (a) or wait for rahanas to arrive and stop before submitting buy order (b).

a) Order submited Yisha suggests a mission do / don't didnt seem to matter

when rahanas comes into system it flies to a specific point and stops at which point the sales orders changed to a max item 100 ecells with the old order disappearing. This left with 1 order uncompletable and the ship stationary.

Reload save and go to (b) or save and edit new save. Either way:

b) Waited for rahanas to stop then order for the scripted 100 Ecells.
Rahanas confirms and yisha suggests a mission, either way rahanas sat stationary unless I went through a highway.

How I got past this. Reloaded got to (b) again, the orders updated and I flew around the stations sale points until one of them had 2 sell orders 1 for the 100 ecells and 1 for a significantly larger number. Of these 2 sell orders I purchased the one with the larger number.

Rahanas sat there for about 30 seconds so I went and started dinner, came back and was moving. Completed the sell order.

At each point I was keeping an eye on both number of orders for rahanas and the drone usage. As well as leaving the orders with rahanas for a few minutes
