Cargo Question

[Framis]

I built two cargo ships (Merchant Ship IV), bought cargo at a HW and have tried to sell it at a colony world. It won't sell. The turn report shows the fleet has 40 MCG in it. Where do I sell this?

[CHARON EMPIRE]

You sell it to a colony, but does your colony have all the bases built up on it.

[Blackwill]

Are you selling to your own colony world, or another player's world? Trade Corps are the only empires able to sell at another player's worlds, if I am not mistaken.

I tried to sell it at a colony with pop and CBs. I'm an ICB, btw.

Got the error message:
"Colonial Governor on xxx12345 sends greetings. Requests 87 cargo units.
No cargo units from a terraformed world in Fleet 55 to sell to colony xxx12345"

[Blackwill]

Odd. Did you buy it from your new HW or a City world, perhaps? Try selling it to another CW and see what happens?

[REPTIMALIEN]

What does your turnsheet say on the action you attempted to sell.

[CHARON EMPIRE]

Did you specify the amount of cargo to sell?

[Blackwill]

Did you figure out what the issue is with this topic?

[Framis]

Yes. I was using the quantity field for the cargo instead of the special number field.

It's very confusing that the orders aren't consistent in how they are formatted.

[Blackwill]

Good. Glad you got that sorted. I was curious, myself, with the new planet types and features.
