So how do you exactly look at what cargo a ship has? Even with the ship scanner rubbing up against them like a horny dog you can't see it. (I can't) Plus I saw someone write earlier that they saw one of their ships carrying osalia so how exactly do you see what ships are carrying.

Select your ship. Double click the box on bottom left around the ship's title area. This works for yours. I can't figure out how to see theirs.

You'll need a ship scanning module for one.

Had it, but still couldn't see enemy ship cargo. I did the same thing, double click on thier title bar, but it took me to the screen with something of mine selected instead of what I had selected and double clicked.

I don't know how I didn't notice the ship cargo of my own guys, I probably saw it once just didn't want to see that page :D. Still would be cool to find out how to see enemies/ally ship cargo like the scanner says, I know they don't have blocking tech.

Any way to see how much cargo is being moved? or how much fuel resupply ships have stored?

For your own ships and bases you can see it from the ship list.

With the ship/base selected, double click in the selection panel (lower left one), at an "innocent" spot (without other functionality) to open it in the ship list.

You can browse the cargo tab at the bottom. Notice that you can access various info about the ship/base here, like components. This is relevant if you for instance wonder what 3 components are damaged, or which components are not yet built when there is a shortage at a colony.

Fastest way is to double-click on the ship name in the box at the bottom left. Then you'll have a bunch of tabs, it starts showing components but the tab next to it is cargo.

You can see independent' freighter' orders too. "Transporting Caslon" for instance.
Though I haven't found a way to see where exactly they are going (until it's obvious).
You can guess if they are picking up or dropping off by checking if some cargo at their target has been reserved for them, and you can see what pirate faction they belong to too that way.
