Thanks!

If playing AP,
I think there are problems there,from what I have read and tested myself.
Might be fixed in the bug fix updates,coming soon.

What problems should we look for, I'm just about to start that myself.

can't remember the threads atm,but it seems this command does not work properly.

How it effected me was when I use it for the trader I am piloting...


I go to a mine and fill up.
I call this command.
It may ,or may not ,go to the nearest group of rocks with said mineral.
Then it goes to the best place to sell.
That can be several sectors away.

This trick , for finding places to sell your minerals when you are piloting , works well in TC.

But in AP your ship just keeps going to and from nearby sectors.
iirc,this is what is happening when not in the ship either.
