Does retreating/being harried destroy cargo?
« on: March 15, 2019, 01:12:46 AM »

Just joined an ill-fated attack on a station for some of that sweet XP.
Wiped out the defending fleet & then skipped town since the missile racks were dry, meanwhile my AI allies insisted on going to the bitter end.
At this point I got the bug where combat doesn't end if carriers retreat & leave their fighters behind, but a mod has a fix for that so no real problem here.
Afterwards the support frigs that were held in reserve decide to harry us but let us go. All of my ships which participated sustained no/nominal hull damage, with a couple going down to ~10% CR.

10 minutes later I'm back at a market and notice half my survey datapads & 1 of my 2 gamma cores (and possibly other things) are missing. Cargo was never over limit.

-edit
Yeah I actually lost half of every commodity, with a minimum of -1 wiping out all my rare items/modules/lpcs and they even took my VIPs yikes

any lost ship result in lost cargo

getting random frigate destroyed may cause "drop" of any item.

upcoming version will protect cores and survey pads from dropping, this means, ever losing entire fleet won't cause survey pads and cores to drop.

I guess that includes allies then?

None of my ships were lost. EXCEPT could the fighters have done it? Game seems to think there are still ships on the battlefield when they're all that's left..

Oh, hey, looks like this is a bug - it was indeed counting the allied losses for this. Fixed!
