Freighters not collecting Minerals

[nickcnew (OP)]

  Hi All,
        New to the game and I have a problem transporting minerals from one Planet to another.   Tried all the task force commands but the fleet just remains in orbit with the loading All minerals tagged. 
        Tried on multiple games and multiple different freighter designs, always have an abundance of minerals at source.   Doubt its a bug as there is little info about this on the forums (at least from what I have read.  ) Running version 6.  43

        Thanks

1st of all, do your freighters have cargo bays. 2nd, It takes time to load and unload cargo. 3rd, check the ships screen (not the TG screen) to see if the ships actually have something or not. I cannot  help you anymore than that because you did not give enough information, so try those things and report back here. Copy and paste your freighter design here.

When you paste the ship design, enclose it in the code tags.

You might want to check and make sure the task forces that aren't responding, aren't the task forces you've assigned to your currently building ships.  When you build new ships, they are assigned to a specific task force.  If you try to order that task force to do something, they hang.

You can tell if this is the cause by splitting a freighter out of it's task force and giving it an order.  Good luck
