Could any of the Devs maybe just let us know what and when is going on with this?

We don't know for sure yet. Right now we can restart the convoys but they'll eventually disappear again; it's a problem that doesn't show up on our test server but of course happens all the time when exposed to real players. So, no ETA on a real fix but I'll give them a kick in the pants tonight.

New convoys stop embarking because it thinks too many convoys are still out there, but at some point at least one member of each convoy disappeared somehow and the stations are still waiting for 'em to arrive. ...Or something like that.

i have seen many time convoy escort (warhog and centurion) sitting in space.

maybe the bug come from the escort when they lost the transport ship?

Perhaps you could cron tab the restart of the convoys till the problem is actually fixed?

Convoys are back. Cargo takes longer to time out. Happy times.
Thanks Andy.:)

Similar to Nya's observation, I've seen as many as three escorts come to the WH from being spaced long after the convoy has moved out of the sector.
