Just send a TS class transport in the complex and use the adjust station parameters menu to transfer wares to it.

I assume you actually have PPCs in stock at the complex?

Do you have enough free cargo space in the TS? PPCs take quite a lot.

Check the production cycle of the PPC factories. IIRC they have quite a long cycle and take a lot of resources. Maybe you just have to wait for them to produce some.
But since there are really a lot of PPC factories in the universe, I really didn't bother with them. I've rather built FAA and CFAA factories since I really run out of them rather than PPCs.

Dock a TS ship and navigate the menu to Adjust Station Parameters. There you can transfer the goods from the station to the TS. Then you have just to transfer them to the M2.

I have tried that with a Dementer SF and it still didn't work. Is this a bug? I have a vanilla installation although I have install the Plugin Manager and toyed around installing the scripts, but changed my mind.

I have a nmber of these PPC and 2GJ Shield fab and really want the eqipment. Is there no way of fixing this :?

Something a miss here for one you said you have 16 PPC's in stock yet you only have 2 PPC fab's in the complex so how is your complex is holding 16 PPC's when each PPC fab can only produce and hold 2 at a time so with 2 fabs your complex can only have a maximum of 4 on stock at any 1 time just like your 2GJ fabs. :gruebel:

No. PPC fabs can hold 8 each. It's the EQ Docks who only can hold 2 each.

Goose: No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea.
Maverick: Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz a Split.

Doesn't work isn't a very exact description. What exactly is going wrong? Is the line red? Can you pick a number of items to transfer? Can you confirm that transfer? Do the items actually get transfered?

I have the same problem. Set your TS homebase that comlex. Now order TS to sell PPC, he will take PPC, now order him to go back to homebase. Transfer from TS to ypur ship.

I think it is a bug. I can t transfer all the ore to my complex from my TS manually there are 5-10 ore that station don t take. It is annoying.

Thanks I'll try this out today. I wonder if I should complain about this. I had the same problem with X3:R, but I was using scripts so I put it down to that. This is the vanilla game, it shouldn't happen. How many other people have had this issue?

Have had a Fab that wouldn't let you remove products?

Post by WhiteStar1 » Thu, 5. Feb 09, 09:27

If you are like me and had a fab that cost you dearly and wont let you unload then lets start a list and get the big guys (gals too :wink: ) to fig it. It should be the vanilla game you are running - but I guess "mod" version will had to the statistics

Laser Towers work fine for me.

As do PPCs, 2GJ shields (related to OP's other post) and all the other XL sized objects I've tried so far.
