I filled up a whole large cargo with equal amounts of all three, but when it arrived on my other planet the res didn't show up, and when it came to the origin planet I didn't get them back. What happened? :?:

You also have to consider how much deuterium it took to make the trip. If you sent a small cargo on a long distance haul, virtually all of the cargo space will could be consumed by the fuel needed for the trip.

That explains another reason why a jump gate would be usefull...so if you want to send cargos to long distances you need to have a jump gate or you wont get anything over:/

Jump gates will only transfer ships. It will not transfer cargo inside ships.

Hmm...i see...and i hope there isnt anything that allows such a mistake to happen. Such as letting you store resources on the ships and press send^^ That would not be nice if all your resources vaporize^^

Your resources simply remain on the parent moon.

the jumpgates are the greatest thing about moons. I am considering getting some once i figure out how hard it is to kill a moon. has anyone ever destroyed one?

In other similar games, killing moons is a lot of people's hobby. Although killing a moon is hard, it can and will be done.

Most likely done with supreme military power...if a moon is destroyed would it not leave a large DF?
