1. Easier Space Transport

Transporting products by use of cargo shuttles, requires manual commands to define these transports and start them, one by one. when multiple transports are needed, the procedure requires many commands and a lot of clicking.

A new, shorter procedure is now available.

when starting a new transport, you can define the name of the the space center where the products come from in the same way it was done before. You also specify the name of the space center where the products should be delivered (as before). Then you specify the product and quantity, but with the new procedure, you can specify "ALL" and all products that are stored in the space center will be sent to the target.

The procedure will create one transport request per product that is stored at the space center.

This function reduces the number of clicks that are needed to initiate space transports.

2. Im

so... i've had like 50 transports going for a while now because they take so long
now that we're limited to 20 i have a little bit of a problem
also it's not as easy as one would think to cancel a transport which would involve clicking and more clicking individual transports

this keeps getting more and more complicated...

No running transports will be stopped.

if you just let them continue for some time, most will of course end.

we have looked into space centers that started many transports.
we saw multiple identical transports, meaning that several transports moved the same product from the same source to the same target.

these could be done in a single transport.

During development we were discussing this issue and decided to set the number to 20 but also considered 30.
we will have another look. also check your case, and we might decide to raise the number to 30.

I will be back here with a further response.

Product Name	Quantity	Origin (From)	Target (To)	Loaded / Delivered
Attack Drone Missiles	2,400,000	Spira on WG	Trantor on KB	2,999,398 / 2,524,398
Chemicals	3,000,000,000	Spira on WG	Phalodi on TA	2,999,398 / 2,524,398
Metadium	7,675,177	Phalodi on TA	Trantor on KB	2,999,398 / 2,524,398

Stating this here in case it's more than a visual bug.

Two days ago I started transferring Metadium. When I logged today the transported quantity was "2,999,398 / 2,524,398".

Right now, I started transferring Drone Missiles and Chemicals and they both started the Loaded / Delivered as "2,999,398 / 2,524,398".

OOPS.

we will look into it ASAP.

for now I just moved most of my products back into countries and enterprises
Hopefully it'll end a lot of these transport requests and I can start over
Trying to abort one request looks like it'll be multiple flight cancelations and it then I can't keep track..

I just looked now, and it says that Drone Missiles have been delivered, probably because the amount to be transferred, 2 400 00, was lower than the Loaded / Delivered (2 999 398 / 2 524 398).

I looked into the source and destination space stations, and the 2.4M missiles are still at the source space station.

The max number of space transports will be increased to 30.

the limits are really bottle necks
it takes a very very very long time to move anything to ta
and even selecting "all products" in one space center all 20 allowable moves are used up
i have lots of shuttles too but they are kinda meaningless now right

help me understand because i'm ready to abandon ta it's just not worth the hours of work
it's a chore

The coming upgrade will raise the limit to 30.
preventing multiple identical transports will help too.

We plan another optimalization of the space transport function.
it will allow us to increase the number of transports to at least 40,
hopefully higher.

The next improvement will take place when we add a new server.
this will be in about a month.
