...is this a known problem? Not a serious loss since I worked the Pearl tradelane for a good while - but if I cant trust storage, well, thats a pretty big issue.

I stored my SM and its extra equip at the Arvoch warzone station yesterday - been running military missions in my Shadow. Left system to pick up a different weapon - came back and everything stored is gone.

Which version of the game are you using and are you switching between MP and SP? Did you have enough funds to pay for your hangar fees? If you'd like me to review your profile, attach it to an e-mail (starwraith.com > contact).

Mercenary 1.128

Only been playing SP so far.

I stored the Starmaster and extra equip on Arvoch Command and flew over to the carrier (Providence) in a throw away frame - and bought a Shadow.

Did military missions for a day or two. Hangar was fine - charging me as usual - have plenty of cash, quarter of a billion.

Today I dropped off a weapon (Banshee) at the station. Flew out to Rucker for a different weapon (Maxim-R).

Flew back to transfer some equip around and everything in the hangar was gone.

Only thing I can figure is that when I dropped the Banshee off something went screwy and the hangar inventory got erased.

It happened in the same play session - time frame being however long it takes to store one item in a hanger, fly to Rucker and back again.

It's possible that those items didn't get saved in storage.
If you store items, then take a contract before exiting the station, your stored items will not be saved (as far as I understand the save process with a contract active).

I thought exiting the shipyard or storage did an auto save?

It says "progress saved" when exitting a station (and that is a problem, because it overwrites old savegame with ships\\cargo on hangar with no backup), and i saw the remark such as: "you game will be saved, when a storage blahblah changed" or something, it is really saving if i move 1 cargo slot from\\to hangar

I dont try a hangar movements after contract acception, this is a not-clear experiment

Well, i"m setting up an 1.227ver.(thanx to developer).

Will see, will see... paramedics are ready to save my life

You can always save into a new spare profile slot as a backup before doing anything with the hanger and storage.
.. Just in case.. : )
