First of all i want to say hello.Thia forum was a major help in my moving through the scout tree and i appreciate everyones time that they spent writing helpful tips.
Heres my problem...
Im currently hunting rasps on Rori because they are paying 175 PU.Well we all know how much fun hunting those things can be and the missions that you run only produce minimal numbers at each nest.So today I decide i was going to spend X amount of time hunting ,knocking out as much as i could and i was fortunate enough to run across some random spawns that produced 20+ rasps each instead of the usual 7-10.
Well in a 40 minute period of hunting and running across the 2 random spawns my inventory of avian meat increased by the grand total of 0!!!Is this a bug?Is there anything i can do about it?I was very upset because i was having a great hour or so of just knocking out big numbers(in rasp terms)and now i feel like i wasted my time.At 175 a unit i feel like i lost a lot of money too.Figure 2 randoms at 15-20 rasps each,and probably 4 missions which average between 60-90 units of meat each and we are talking about a chunk of change and lost time.
The only thing i noticed was that my inventory was full and after i dropped an item it started stacking the meat again.Should that be the case?Never noticed it before,but it fixed the problem.Am i an idiot for not realizing my inventory was full?Why would a full inventory effect a contained where the meat was stacking?
Any answers anyone could provide would be great.
Oh one quick story....some docs are complaining about the prices ofthe avian so last night theres one at the mission termianl and hes struggling,cant get the rasp missions.He tried different combos and it still wouldnt work.As we were parting ways he stopped me and asked if i had any avain on me.We struck a deal at a ruduced rate from what i know i can get for the meat because i know the docs have helped me plenty.Then i let him follow me to a couple of missions and we grouped up so he could get some more meat.My net loss was 75 PU.(about 1200 units)
But you know what,sometimes it feels good to help.
Stupid?Maybe.But i've had plenty of people be kind to me since i started playing and maybe i felt like i was giving back.
Thanks again,love being a scout!!!!

Courts,
You probably weren't paying attention the system spam - I've done that before as well.
It will usually say something to the effect of "You were unable to loot/harvest X because your inventory is full".
Basically what happens when you harvest something is that the item goes directly into your inventory. If you've got something that's stackable, it will go into that stack automatically, but for a brief amount of time it doesn't stack. So you've gotta have at least one empty spot in your inventory for that to work.
Painful way to learn that lesson. Sorry bro.
