Hi - I can see how you might think the above, but in the thread it tells you to set the ship to "follow me" - I did previously ask it to hold position. (although "follow me" is still an order?)Alan Phipps wrote:@ rafezetter: You probably were not in cargo collect mode with a ship in your squad that was free of orders, and totally ready and able to collect the ware container. You might have needed to give it the command 'follow me again' to cancel any previous orders it [thought it] had.
Also, if you use left mouse click rather than CTRL then your selected damage weapon would not fire and you would just launch tag darts instead.
So I had - "follow me", was in cargo collect mode, had cargo drones x10 (also I used CTRL not the mouse, both times)
I'm going to have another go today if I find another crate - it was only by chance I found that others beside a small freighter that had been destroyed.
This game sure doesn't make things easy to work out.
