a couple of gameplay questions.

1) Why can't carriers repair damage done to your ship??

2) I can pick up cargo with my repair beam, why won't game let me take contracts to retrieve items?

1) Built into the game, they are like mobile re-suppliers, though honestly not sure why not either.

2) That could be a bug if you have cargo space available. Plus does that beam pick up "all" cargo?

I'm surprised you can pick up cargo with a repair beam. That would be like pounding in a nail with a screwdriver.

Did you mean mining beam? I though it was a dual mining and tractor beam. So it makes sense it can grab cargo.

The repair beam grabs floating cargo and will suck stuff (like water, oxygen and stuff from containers) into cargo bay.
Might be a bug, but it's a bit frustrating about those contracts.

There are two different beams. The tractor beam pulls items into your cargo bay and the repair beam makes repairs to ships.
