Ok...it goes like this: i get a mission to go to sector#, and when i get into the station i get the black screen of death...to get back to the game i have to logoff\on, but if i get another of this missions the same thing happens....

now, it only happens when i get a mission to go to a sector, collect the cargo and come back with it to where ever....

yea, It's still doing that. My dad just got that on his account after being sent to 3 from 6 to get 3 neut electronics and bring them back to 6. He just got it again collecting TGP lubricants from 13 to take to 12. Both times he had cargo in his hold. When he went from 13 to collect a load from 12 with an empty hold, he was ok. We will continue to test, but maybe it's in the part of the code that has to store cargo in the station because of a full hold.
Lunitary, did you have any cargo in your cargohold when you dock to pick up the delivery cargo.

It's happened to my Wraith with an empty hold and no "overflow".

no, just my dad, he created an account to check out the game.

anyway.

The only times it happens to me is when i have overflow, i have not yet had it happen when i didnt have overflow, however it doesnt do it every time i have overflow, so far it's happened in every station that i have been to, so it's not just a specific station thats having the problem.

sinclair how many cargo crates were you picking up, sometimes the missions give more than your ship can hold, 9 units will overflow a wraith.

hmmm if i had a faster way to pick and choose missions i'd be able to test this a little more, can we put the updatestation bug back in for a while? undocking/redocking to find a collect cargo mission where they provide the cargo takes time.
