By the looks of it, I have 168 Cargo Shuttles with 0 missions left. I'd have expected them to be removed from the game on the next "tick" that checks for this, but I see they have remained for (real) months now.

I suspect this is because they still have cargo in them. Could the script that checks for this, please offload their cargo to the Space Center they are moored and delete them from the game afterwards?

I will have it checked ASAP.
shuttles with 0 misions should be discarded.

They should not carry any products if there is a posibility they might be discarded before relivering their cargo.

I see a lot of the 0 missions shuttles were deleted now. Thanks.

I'm not entirely sure what is implemented, but I believe it would be easier to write and for the players to understand if:

* A shuttle has more than 0 missions left, it can still be used to transport;
* When it reaches the destination it will have 0 missions left;
* The game will offload everything into the space center;
* The shuttle is deleted.

This to avoid losing cargo unnnecessarily.

I happened to be looking into this, because it was taking forever for my stuff to move accross space centers, but I looked now and it is almost done in less than a day, after a snail pace for almost a month. So this fixed it.

It was fixed last Monday.
However, the problem had to do with heavy processing linked to the shuttles.
Now that this is out of the way, we will try to better balance the workload.

Sometimes, the process that takes care of shuttle movements, does not finish moving all of them before the next cycle starts.

How frequent is this cycle? I just noticed I have 38 cargo shuttles with 0 missions.

It runs every day.
sometimes, it could be interrupted before completion but will then continue the next day.
If these shuttles remain there a few days, please let me know.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on it, and let you know next week.
