Attn: all players: the load capacity for shuttlecraft has been chopped in half, as of today. Either that, or I am being singled out for "special treatment". Check your shuttle capacity and see what you think. If I was going to further restrict trade and force players to buy more shuttles (and thus more GC) to move the same amount of product, this is something I would do. |

shuttles arnt selling very fast at the moment, even at 4-5GC each...
I can't work out how making space trading even more expensive will spark it back to life. |
| maclean | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - 10:56 pm
It wont. It is a plot designed to reap more GCs from us, or discontinue the space game. Also, by doubling the amount of shuttles required, it will mean that much more time will have to be spent to move the same amount of product. If this doesn't work, look for them to monopolize the shuttle market, just as they did the GC market and the population market. I was right about these; remember, it's not paranoia if it's really happening.  |
| Andy | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - 11:25 pm
I do not know of any reduction.
Cargo shuttle capacity was increased a little for some products several weeks ago. The reasons was that the value of a full cargo shuttle for some products remained very very low which makes it unattractive to transport to a space station.
Increasing the capacity increased the value of a shuttle load and reduced the transport cost per ton.
if you have a specific example, product name etc, please let me know. |

Silver. Until 12 June i was able to load 100,498 of silver; as of 12 June, a few hours later, that number was reduced to 50,499. Having 0 SCMU on board made no appreciable difference. And while I have your attention, I still maintain that it is not ethical to keep my GCs and cash in limbo.I am sure you can fix this, and I would appreciate it very much, and will publicly praise you in the forum if you do. Thank you. |

Here is a (partial) list of shuttle capacities collected on or just before 1st week of April this year.
I haven't checked if there are differances in current capacities, but supply them for anyone who wishes to make a comparison.

LBC batteries are now up to 202 per shuttle and Navy Fighter Missiles to 2523(ish)...
Hugs and respect

I will check what happened.
you seem quite sure. |
| maclean | Monday, June 18, 2012 - 10:26 am
I am like an ion, on this one; I am positive. Please check the logs of pre-June 12 shuttle transfer, and then compare to post June 12 loads. These shuttles were loaded to the gunwales every time. Thanks, if you could look into it. |

| maclean | Wednesday, June 20, 2012 - 12:35 pm
I have messaged the GMs by e-mail, so I'll post their response here when I get it. |
| maclean | Friday, June 22, 2012 - 11:50 am
Am not going away. No response to my e-mail yet, but I will report when it arrives. |
| maclean | Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - 03:04 pm
Someone please check their shuttle logs and verify this. June 12 was the changeover date.
I have emailed the GM again. |
| maclean | Wednesday, July 4, 2012 - 01:31 pm
Success! The GMs have fixed the glitch! Shuttle capacity now restored! Thanks! |
