I needed to transfer antimatter from my ship to another. I click on the other ship in map mode, tell it to "trade wares" with mine, move the antimatter and confirm the command, but the other ship doesn't move.
It stays in position, its behaviour says it is executing the trade order, but nothing happens. Even when I am far away, I can tell it to move around, but when I give the trade command, it stops in position and does nothing.
I even tried this when both ships were docked at the same station, but once I give the command, the other ship just undocks and stays there, no wares transferred, with an ongoing "trade wares" command.
Does anyone manage to make this work, or is it a bug? My workaround for now was to sell the antimatter and tell the second ship to buy it..

Antimatter cells seem to be broken right now, see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=180&t=402685

Re: "Trade Wares" not working
I managed to finally get this to work this morning after asking for help in a topic I posted last night.
To get it to succeed both ships need to have an AI Captain.
From the map screen place the Trade Wares Command.
Once I did this I had a message from the captain of my starter ship stating "Let me know when you are ready to depart". I had to order the captain to proceed with her current task.
They then proceeded to take off and fly a small distance from the station, the second ship flew to the same position and the trade proceeded by the contents being dropped into space and then collected by the target ship.
Hope this helps.

Re: "Trade Wares" not working
If all else fails, drop the cargo in space - command the other ship to pickup the cargo.
That works!
Obviously, it's a workaround and shouldn't be considered the final fix.

Re: "Trade Wares" not working
Can you transfer somehow cargo inside a station between two ships? I can't figure it out.

That would seem the logical thing, right? But no, I can't see a way of doing this.Mr.Sentinazo wrote: ↑Sun, 2. Dec 18, 11:15 Can you transfer somehow cargo inside a station between two ships? I can't figure it out.
If I ask a ship to trade wares with me, they leave the dock and wait in space for me.
