Reproduction Steps
1. Load 12 empty drake ore pods onto cargo grid inside polaris while in XL hangar at Ruin Station
2. Load Drake Golem into hangar in polaris
3. depart Ruin Station, nav mode into Terminus Belt, approx 30km away from Ruin
4. come to stop, open polaris hangar and launch drake golem to go mine asteroids
5. once pods are full, land back in polaris hangar and use cargo elevators to transfer old/new pods between cargo grid and hangar
6. cargo grids are very difficult to use, as items seems to almost slide off of the elevator platform once the tractor beam is disengaged
What happened
when raising or lowering the cargo lifts in the Polaris, cargo seems to shift, move around, or slide off the elevators once you disengage the tractor beam. Sometimes items will leap around after disengaging, and even go through the wall into the engine room. It is typical workable if you just try to pick up the item and replace it a few times but it can be very tedious and time consuming.
What should have happened
Ideally, when I "drop" an ore pod, or any other cargo on the the cargo elevator it should rest where it falls and not slide around.
Workaround
If you just pick item up again and drop it a few times, it'll eventually settle into a workable position. You're basically re-shuffling and hoping for a better landing each time, which is tedious.
