I had installed a miner's cargo hold, and it served me well for a time. But then I came upon a black market station, and wanted to swap for a smuggler's cargo hold - only to discover that I couldn't!
I couldn't replace it at the black market station:
And I couldn't remove it at the nearby Dry Dock:
I was devastated. Was Transcendence angry that I had left it for 2 years, and was punishing me by changing fundamental mechanics of upgrading? I finally realized that I just had too much junk, and that by getting down to the level where I didn't need a cargo hold, I could remove and replace my cargo hold (I didn't think to try a direct replacement).
I think some messages beyond "The device cannot be removed" would be helpful for Dry Docks and other stations that offer removal. Also, if the Black Market Stations can't remove and replace cargo holds and can only put a smuggler's cargo hold in place, that would be helpful.
The new additions to the game are wonderful! Thanks George!

Oh, I always thought that was intentional. I have been mourning the loss...

Very simple reason why you cannot remove the hold: It is full of stuff, you only have 14 tons cargospace left. You need to empty the hold first before it can be removed.
So, dump your cargo somewhere in a safe place, swap the miners hold for the smugglers hold and reload your stuff.

Sorta missing the point there. The complaint is that the game doesn't say this in the dockscreen.Ferdinand wrote:Very simple reason why you cannot remove the hold: It is full of stuff, you only have 14 tons cargospace left. You need to empty the hold first before it can be removed.

that's the reason indeed.Very simple reason why you cannot remove the hold: It is full of stuff, you only have 14 tons cargospace left.
we need a ticket for it so that the game will say" your cargo is full" or something like that.
