should be able to load specific number of crates into ship at station

right now, with 'load' you have to load all you have of a certain item.

kind of annoying if you have 500 apicene, 200 denic, and want to load 24 apicene, 24 denic. (and yes there are reasons you want to do this... weight... but also to check prices in various places... or if you want to spend some of your 'stash' but only a certain amount .. etc etc etc)

right now you have to either sell items, or exit station and jettison cargo... i already had someone steal my cargo once doing this.

There's another way to do it:

Let's say you want X amount of ore A and Y amount of ore B, and you have both ores in the station cargo bay.

Buy Y of random widget C from the station, and then load ore A from the cargo bay. Now unload and sell random widget C and load ore B from the cargo bay. You now have X of ore A and Y of ore B in your cargo hold.

It's like a little puzzle :) (/sarcasm)

Yeah thanks Phaser, that does work... now I have a 45 x, 40 y, 35 z, 30 p, 25 d, 20 q, 15 a, 10 b, and 5 c at one of my stations. Lol! I was able to load 5 each of 6 different kind of cargo this way.
