As someone not in the PTU, I would like to request that any Testies that are please make a video of a full cargo run from start to finish. I believe the auto fill and empty for the cargo is working, however, I have not seen any videos of the full trade run. Seeing as this is going to be one of my main professions, I wanted to get a pre-view so I am not completely lost once this hits the live servers. Thanks in advance for any help.

Last I heard many clients were still crashing when people would interact with cargo, but I'd like to see this too.
By live servers do you mean the current Alpha servers? We're a great many months away still from anything approaching live and you'll have plenty of opportunity to familiarize yourself with the system before we even move into what could be called Beta.

I meant 3.0 hitting live Alpha in a non-PTU state, which I hear will be more than likely in January. I'm pretty sure Beta won't be until 2019.
I just had a quick look for you Schmunkel.
The cargo terminals in Port O are near the ship spawn terminals, on the desk up the stairs near dumpers depot. they are not obviously for that until you look at them. I could not work out how to pull up the stock list so it may not be working in the latest patch. I heard someone did a run a few days ago from Levski to Port O. I then checked the shops no stock today.
I flew to Levski and same thing
I checked the patch notes it says
Has anyone done a full run?

Filling up your ship with cargo is pretty expansive and playing long enough to get that kind of money was hard because the game kept crashing. That's when shops had stock, because now they don't.
In the last but one patch they gave us 100,000 credits. I want to spend it, this is frustrating
Yesterday I tried.
Have I think 1 mil aEUC, but there was no cargo available at Port.
Tried doing a mission to pick up cargo, but of course the client crashed when I tried to move the cargo onto the ship.

I'm glad I'm not in this one.
Sounds frustrating but hope any issues are being reported when they occur.

I'd be amazed if someone is able to achieve it. Right now I just cycle through ships cause i get out maybe make it somewhere before it crashes only to respawn back in Port O and have to file a claim.
Two days ago I managed 3+ hours without a disconnect, yesterday 2 hours. Today 30 mins maximum
I did get through the entire PI mission at covalex.
some guy (SOME GUY -- I know sorry) did a full run and his ship auto loaded at Levski

Well after several days attempting to complete cargo pick up missions, I can safety say, it's not the pirates that are dangerous, it's your own ship.
Here's some of the logs for the missions that didn't end due to crashes.
Day 1 try 3: Used a Freelancer, accepted a salvage mission to pick up a flight recorder. Made it to the wreck at Delmar. Fought off 4 Pirates, and exited ship. Found FR in the wreck. Managed to Return To Ship. Unable to put down box due to bug. Attempted to detach box from arm, but got killed when arm was detached.
Day 2 try 18: Used a Prospector, accepted a space FR retrieve mission again, found FR in wreck, RTS, attempted to open hatch, but the animation showed body slamming into the top of the ship. Died of broken legs.
Day 3 try 25: Flew Cutlass. Selected ground based FR recovery mission. Landed beside wreck, searched and found several boxes within Starfarer wreck. Returned to ship, but suddenly ship disappeared, HUD reading showed 0km, but no ship. Killed myself.
Basically, it's impossible to complete missions right now, unless you get real lucky.

Well with you detaching your arms and killing yourself ya its impossible :scream:
These were just what I was looking for! I'm hoping someone(hint hint) will eventually make a small how-to video for the cargo runs.some screen shots to keep you going until someone does a video
OK I have to contribute to this, I did a basic cargo run in a Avenger Titan.
DO not judge the game by the video it's my crappy computer that can't record heavy game like this when I am playing them.
But enjoy it for what it is CHEERS :beers:

Schmunkel, any questions after seeing Mich's video?
I did a run from Port O to Levski also, it would seem that you can not sell every product that you can buy at Port O at Levski.

I am going to need to watch it about 10 more times, but here are a few questions I have:Schmunkel, any questions after seeing Mich's video?

1. Do the prices vary at the different locations so you can actually make a profit?
2. What does the auto fill of the cargo look like?
3. How do you like the trading console interface?
Welp, i made an entire vid of me buying stuff at Grim Hex filling my entire cutlass and selling it at Port Olisar. But apparantly I stopped the video when I wanted to record and vice versa so I only have a vid of me trying to get out of Grim Hex with freezes and innter thought cursors dissapearing haha.
Anyway it worked and I made a grand total of -200 I think :D
