Local Yokel -> A Cautionary Tale on Loading Ships (2/10/2010 10:52:57 AM)
|
I'm not sure how this is going to pan out, but offer it as something of which players may need to be aware. The attached image shows the load state of a 'mixed cargo' TF on two consecutive days, with sensitive information edited out. It has been formed by amalgamation of three TF's, respectively loading oil, resources and supplies, and I'm pretty sure that it was the TF loading resources that received the ships from the other two TF's - that would explain why it's still loading resources on 31 May 1943. Note that the ships laden with supplies are 95% full.
On the following day the TF has departed its port of loading. Shock, horror! The ships nearly fully laden with supplies now appear to be carrying no more than 114 resource units apiece! What's become of the supply they were carrying? I can tell you that it has not been re-landed at the port at which the ships were loading on 31 May. If I examine the cargo of an individual ship carrying 114 resource points, I get no information beyond that. Nothing to indicate whether the supplies are all gone. However, hovering the mousepointer over the TF reveals the summary that indicates that it's still carrying the original 13430 supply load as well.
Has that load of 13430 supplies gone for ever, or will it be unloaded along with the oil and resource cargo? If anyone knows I'd be glad to hear. If there's any risk of losing part of the load when forming mixed cargo convoys like this, it seems that the safe course is to make sure that any current loading operation is cancelled before you end the turn.
