Reproduction Steps
1. Go to Port Tressler and store/retrieve a ship with cargo grid.
2. Open the admin commodity terminal at Port Tressler.
3. Select Quartz or another commodity and choose the ship as destination.
4. Buy the commodity and select automatic loading.
5. Confirm the purchase and wait for the loading process to complete.
6. Check the ship cargo grid after the loading timer/payment.
7. Check the external cargo dock/loading area.
8. Check the freight elevator inventory at Port Tressler.
9. Repeat the same test with another commodity and the Pisces.
10. Observe that aUEC is deducted, but no cargo is loaded or delivered.
What happened
At Port Tressler, I bought Quartz at the admin commodity terminal and selected automatic loading to my ship. The purchase completed and aUEC was deducted, but the cargo was never loaded or delivered. It was not on the ship cargo grid, not at the external cargo/loading area, and not available in the freight elevator. I repeated the test with another commodity using a Pisces and got the same result: money was taken, but no cargo appeared anywhere.
What should have happened
The purchased commodity should have been delivered after payment. With automatic loading selected, the cargo should either be loaded onto the selected ship’s cargo grid or be made available for manual loading through the cargo system. The player should not lose aUEC without receiving the purchased cargo.
