Bug with the Load Cargo command

[capnq]

I've also run into this problem where I have the colony ship in a fleet with escorting ships. If I give the fleet an order that requires loading population, I get warning boxes for every ship that can't hold any more cargo, and any further orders are cancelled.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

If you kept only one race on any given planet you could avoid this problem, PLUS your people would be happier. Naturally this requires some shuffling w/ pop transports, but it should save you time in the long run.

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.

Ok, I had to read this a couple times before I figured out what you are saying CW.

Colony ship is built at planet A. You want to send it to colonize planet B, but not with population from planet A. You want it to stop along the way at planet C and pick up the poplation because planet C has the population that breathes planet B's aptmosphere. What you are saying is you are clicking in this order,

1. Remote load, (Planet C)
2. Colonize, (Planet B)

The result of theese two orders would be:
Move to planet C
Load Population
Load Population
Move to planet B
Colonize

And you are saying the two Load Pop orders are causing a problem? Have I got this right so far?

If so, try instead one of the following order sequences:

Either,

1. Move to Planet C (not remote load)
2. Colonize (Planet B)

or

1. Remote load (Planet C)
2. Move to Planet B (not colonize)
3. Colonize (Planet B)

Do I get the job? Do you pay for relocation expenses? Does your empire have a good 401K?
