Suggestion: Make the first IMG quest work like other delivery quests (warning: spoilers)

Post by Phileosophos »

I must have tried that first IMG quest half a dozen times before my frustration got the better of me and I found the solution on this forum. It seems silly at best that when you rendezvous with the cruiser you can't jettison the satellite using the 'J' key like I've done with every other delivery quest! That opening the inventory panel and left clicking the item works is fine, but the regular jettison really ought to work too.

:cool: For Mercenary, the "J" key should probably be disabled since it's causing so much confusion.

The jetison is to discard all your cargo at once. For example if you have five cargo bays and in combat you pick up cargo from the destroyed enemies and all your cargo bays are full of wortheless stuff you can jetison all your cargo at once instead of opening the console and clicking one by one to discard the cargo.
Think of the J Key for Junk to get rid of. Use the right and left mouse click for all other control and management of your cargo.....LOL....:P:P:P:P:P

I now understand the difference between selectively left clicking one of my cargo bays in the inventory interface and pressing the 'J' key. But that doesn't change the fact that it makes no sense that the former works to resolve the quest while the latter doesn't. The game itself taught me to hit the jettison key to make deliveries with all the other delivery quests, so it seems only right that the IMG quest for delivery should work like all the others.

It isn't just I.M.G. contracts. It works the same with any contract where you deliver a probe.

Awesome! Thanks, Vice, I'm sure that will prevent a lot of confusion.
