Yesterday evening I was mining Feltonite on my alt, sending it to my main character to refine it; I was sending it every 300 or 400 until I had the total I needed.
When I checked later on my main character, I had a shortfall corresponding to one of those never being arrived.
At this point I cannot provide evidence, since I was not expecting this, however I started sending a mail after each cargo mail.
This morning I finished refining the lot, then send a bundle of Blissar which my alt needed, as well as one such side mail right ater it.
Then I went back to my alt, waiting for both.
The side mail went directly as usual, but 2 hours later the cargo mail had not arrived.
I then switched back to my main character, and found that this cargo mail had been delivered to him instead.
Although I am quite sure that I did not place the wrong recipient in the mail sending (I definitely knew who needed it), I then tested if it was possible for a character to send itself a mail, and found out that it was possible.
What I have at this time is 2 separate issues, both cargo mail related, but no evidence going with them yet, this is more of a heads-up for what I suspect is a bug undetected so far (possibly a new bug); in short:
- 1 cargo mail lost in transit.
- 1 cargo mail arrived back to its sender.
As from now I will pay more attention to this, but I m not quite sure how to provide evidence, short of taking a screenshot of every single cargo sending, which still would not be evidence that it did not arrive.
I would suggest that other players pay attention to this as well, and add to this post if they also seem to get misplaced cargoes.
This is a problem I have seen over the years in a few other games, in one of them parcels were also sometimes duplicated.
I mean, transferring credits is a digital operation, moving an item (or even a full cargo load of ore) to a different star system is not an easy task.
