X2 can't pick up crate - Explained.

Post by BmB » Thu, 4. May 23, 19:16

there's various random crates floating around inside of stations, I can't pick them up. I open the cargo bay and fly into them slowly, and I take damage, the crate is destroyed, my equipment is destroyed, but it is not picked up
what is the point of these? are they just to piss you off?

Does your ship have the correct cargo class and enough free cargo space?

Yeah, you can't target those crates so you can't really tell what's in them. Once you get a bigger ship you have a better chance of picking up the contents. You could always dock first, save and then try picking it up.

It's a 2003 game. It's quirky :roll:

aha, so it's because the contents are not the right size class
okay, since I'm in my starting discoverer right now that would leave the most possibility for a fail
oh well
