Can't pick up ordnance crate

[Antorius]

"Ordnance Full"

This is probably due to my ship not having any ordnances equipped, but the given message is not at all intuitive. I mean...it's a crate. I have a tractor beam and cargo hold. Why can't I pick these up?

Because you don't need it. It's annoying but not much you can do. I usually lock onto them and blow them up.

That's...frustrating. They're even flagged as "valuables" by a pulse. /grumble

If you really want to collect it, fire a handful of ammo and then pick it up

...except he has no ordnance weapons to fire off ammo from. In which case, blowing them up is the only solution.

Anyone remember when "pick up crate" had higher priority than "dock with station" even when you have a lock on the station, and this could result in you being literally unable to dock until you killed the crate? Good times.

My problem: *computer voice* Autodocking. Me: What?! No! I just wanted to go around the damn planet! I just left the station!
