New way to hijack Cargo

Everyone know the 'J'afs Key.
But did you try it while a Megafreighter is docked and unload his cargo ?

Then the Mego push out light-blue cargo pods instead yellow ones. When you dont do anything, they fly to the station and disappear.
But when you order your freighters to load them, they fly to them instead.

I think thats a bug. I bet the Cargo pods inside the Mega-Pod become marked when you press the J key and the Mega Pod opened.

When the cargo comes out of the station to load any kind of freighter it works too.

I take it you are using the Mega Trucking mod by mdvalley. I wonder if he is aware of that little trick? And does this work with any kind of freighter when the Mega Trucking mod is not working? If so that would be a bug in Torn Stars.

It sounds more like he’s talking about the regular traffic megafreighters, which use PS’s scripts and not mine. In Torn Stars, the only way to get a (non-traffic) megafreighter in is to insert it yourself.

Being able to steal pods off of the traffic ships that way is a known issue with Torn Stars. It will be fixed in the new traffic scripts.

No i dont use any other mods then the regular TS mods.

An AI Mega Freighter Unload, and you can mark the normal Cargo pods INSIDE the Mega-pod, and they come out light-blue.

All AI Freighter load, you can mark the Cargo pods when they come out of the station, while they arn't visible but on radar.

I think i will install a dual EoC, just to check if this can happen at EoC too.

Ok, in EoC it don't work.
I tryed to Mark the outgoing Pods from a Station to a freighter, but i couldn't mark them like at TS.
