Just a minor bug, but when a transport jumps to another sector/system it reports it twice. Sometimes you get 201/202 spam with all the duplicate messages.

AFAIK, it's always done this...

I know it's always done this, but it finally got annoying enough that I wanted to post it.

It probably has something to do with the CtC exploit/bug reported earlier, and possibly with the "newer" bug where the voys don't deliver properly.

But yeah, they've ALWAYS double-reported, as far As I can remember. And I *THINK* but cannot confirm that:
• They report twice if someone exploits the bug on the CtC.
• They report twice if they hit an ion storm enroute from WH to WH

Each transport reports their location. When there are more transports in the convoy, there are more msgs. I think this is what is happening, but there could just be a bug where it reports multiple times. More investigation would be required.

There is a bug where at times there's duplicate messages for individual transports. There's times when I've seen 2 messages when there's a single transport, or 5 messages when there's 3 transports. This bug's been around for at least as long as I have, so I don't think it's related to any of the more recent CtC bugs (although it could be). I haven't been able to see any type of pattern in when it does or doesn't duplicate messages, sometimes it only gives one message, sometimes it sends two. The only message that ever gets duplicated is the "Transport left for <System> <Sector>" message, I've never seen any of the other messages duplicated.

There have been times where there have been a single transport that when it delivers it gives two seperate delivery messages, (Transport so-and-so has delivered 16 units... has delivered 8 units...[for a total of 24]) as if it's carrying two seperate cargo. Could the bug be related somehow?
