In Elite Dangerous, commanders have encountered a gameplay limitation that prevents returning cargo to its original station after switching ships. This issue arises when players complete kill missions and pick up transport missions using a larger ship, then switch to a smaller ship unable to land at the destination. The game does not allow placing cargo back into the originating station, forcing players to either keep the cargo or lose it. This restriction complicates mission flexibility and cargo management, impacting player experience and prompting calls for Frontier to address the problem.
- Cargo cannot be returned to the original station after ship switching.
- Players must keep or lose cargo if the new ship cannot land at the destination.
