    Type: nuisance/cosmetic

    Summary:
    When I transfer items using WIFI (wireless) from one ship to another, the right hand ship has option to select the pentaxid, fuel and oxygen boxes, but you cannot select those in the leftmost panel for some reason.

    Description:
    Can we make the transfer screen management screen symmetrical, should be easy to fix and create less confusion.

    2. try to move all pentaxid in their tanks between the 2 ships

    This is not a bug, but a result of tech limitations. It is not possible to move items between a tank and a tank, but only between „slot-based“ inventories and „fluid-points“ tanks. > moved to suggestions.

    Aha.

    It was Pentaxid I wanted to move, which a player can move as a discrete item since the pentaxid tank is implemented as a container for some reason even though pentaxid is "consumed" like liquids are consumed.

    So the unexpected behaviour is really that pentaxid needs to be implemented as an actual tank, not as a container? I'm fully happy to have the suggestion be that "Pentaxid is given a tank not a container". ...Although in reality implementing this correctly may well be impossible, if pentaxid remains as a container based consumable. So it's not even a implementable suggestion and needs to get rejected, since it kinda breaks other things. Fuel transfer needs to be made possible, is that what we are saying?

    Yes, Pentaxid was planned to be added as a tank - the issue could result from it is handled internally as a tank. Will highlight this on the request list.
