Mining mission agents should take from new ore hold

All mission agents happily accept required deliveries from a ship's cargo hold - but not from the new ore hold, which just adds a quickly annoying additional step to running any mining missions.

I know it's just a minor issue, but hopefully it should be relatively easy to fix.

Erm. I have absolutely no dog in this fight but just on plain common sense I have to support the idea. Let's get that fixed for simple usability's sake.

Considering level 4 mining missions are almost on par loyalty point and standings gain wise as level 4 security missions. the extra click to move the stuff to station hanger before turning in the mission is no really an issue.

But true, if you can turn stuff in from your cargo hold then why not from your ore hold.

i expect this would be a very low priority fix though.

I agree, I do these on a notebook at work to grind standings. Now on my home computer moving stuff means an extra few seconds. On a crappy notebook with a dodgy connection it can be a nightmare.

CCP - please add to the list of 'small things' that need addressing?

I filled in a bug report in-game, as I expect that's the only way to get the devs' attention. I recommend you do the bug reporting as well.


For mining missions where you dock at a station for completion, it is a minor issue - just drag to item hanger.

For mining missions in the COSMOS series, the mission cannot be completed without having a spare ship nearby - as in you dock somewhere, drag the ore to your industrial (or have a friend drive by in an industrial, jetcan the ore, swap ships for the turn-in), then head to the agent. You may remember that COSMOS agents are floating in ships and not in stations; and that COSMOS missions are once and once only missions.

Good point, done and done.

From the email reply to the bug report:

Thank you for your bugreport titled: Mining missions with new barges and ore holds

The problem you have described is an intended game feature or function, and not a bug.

Hello there! While doing COSMOS missions you need to go to a station and put the ore inside a ship with a larger cargo hold right now.
