Tractor Failure!

I changed the freight capacity of my ship in the Shiparch.ini...
When I'm buying from a planet or base I can fill it to the new capacity but when I knock off a frieghter and try to tractor the loot I can only tractor the original amount and then the tractor beam is stuck ON attached to loot until I fly out of range. What is going wrong???

Yes I Searched! and this was tested in MP if it matters.

Damn! I really did do a search , but I didn't get these results...


If your playing multiplayer, heres the reason.

Client tells to server it activates tractor beam. Client displays graphic of tractorbeam picking things up. Server adds the item to clients inventory. If clients inventory is full, nothing happens. So your client thinks that your ship stores more than the server thinks it stores. The result, and Endless tractor beam from your ship to the loot until you go out of range (but only you can see it).

Up near the top right hand corner of the screen is a drop down menu. If you set it to view all the posts from the last year, THEN search the forum topics, you'll get much better results.

Alternatively, you can use the Search Forums link above, and set it to search ALL forums. This should fix all of your future searching problems.
