I experienced a little event last night that was interesting. I picked up two cargo crates (at the same time) but the HUD only showed one. Searching the surrounding space visually and with radar showed no cargo in the area, so I knew I got them both. A couple of minutes later, I shot another bot, picked up
one cargo and got credit for TWO. Is there some sort of "error detection" built into the system that allows it to note and CORRECT it's mistakes?

If you have 2 of the same cargo, it will show up as Widget x2. If it is 2 different ones, check your station inventory.

Eloi - YOU'VE BEEN DUCK'D!

every bot leaves now only metal scaraps.. (which is IMHO very wrong!). So it's not that eloi ;P

Well, by the looks of it i didnt read the entire post :P

[Edit] If it happens again, jettison ("j") the cargo and see how many pop out. Might just be a temporary glitch. [/Edit]

have noticed this once in a biocom vulture but wasnt able to replicate

it seemed i picked up 2 crates very near each other i heard both noises and got credit on hud for only one
more crates collected gave 1 more instance of the collect noise but didnt increase my hold number - yet i couldnt pick up more
(so had a full biocom vulture with 1 cargo according to hud)
- on docking i registered correct cargo limit


wished id had verbose up or could replicate at will but cant
