Trouble Cargo Shipping?

[codrus (OP)]

I've tried to move automated mines with the release version and then later in 1. 7 and couldn't figure out how to do it in either.  First was a Transport class ship, and that didn't work, so made a Cargo class ship, but had same issue.   In both cases I built an 80ton commercial ship with 2 cargo holds.  They were both able to load 2 automated mines, but I'm only given the option to unload for Earth, any other planet/moon/asteroid does not list the option to unload cargo of any sort.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

This has come up a number of times - you need to have cargo handling ability. Either built into the ship, or at the source/destination.

The reason you could pick stuff up is because Earth comes with a spaceport built. You'll need cargo shuttles in your freighters to unload onto an airless rock.

Thanks! (I did look for a similar thread. . .  must have missed it. )
