Multiple ships & available cargo space

[Jason Maffettone]

I don't think this is a bug as such, just something that could be fixed because it's kind of stupid. When you take trade missions it will only allow your flag ship's cargo to be used. I'm a fan of the trade missions because it's a great way to level up officers and make good cash at the earlier levels.

I like to use a corvette or frigate as my main ship and have a cargo-dedicated ship in the fleet with me for trade purposes but trade missions won't seem to let me utilize it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Thats should be easy to change... just look into the code in DIALOGS\ <name of trader>.c

Also, there is a function called something like GetCargoSquadron to check the amount of cargo free in your whole fleet.

Luck.

Will check that out, many thanks!

IIRC , GetCargoSquadron (or whatever is called exactly) and other similar and interesting functions are in shipyard.c in INTERFACE directory.
