Don't understand how new data storage/material storage is calculated... FIXED[Bug]
Yesterday,i'm taking a look at beyond,the changes etc,i knew by the Beta that the way materials are stored and data storage has been modified,i see 100 max for all materials and data,i was in a Anaconda when i connected for the first time on Beyond,now,i've switched to an ASP this morning and i see this :

Can someone explain to me?
Is it a bug or something?
The progression bars seem to scale so i'm not sure if this is a bug or not,and how it is calculated.

The storage limits as they should be are listed in the patch notes.

the caps are based on material/data rarity with commonmats/data having a high cap and rare stuff a low cap

Doesn't make sense.

You have only grade-5 mats stored?

because mat storage is linked to the cmdr not the ship, so ship size is irrelavant

Nope,all kinds of mats.

Maybe it's a bug then, as your Asp-X shows limits to be different for different mat grades.

I don't see anything wrong in any of your screenshots.

Grade 5 materials have a maximum of 100 each, with the capacity going up by 50 as you go down the grades.
i.e. 150 for grade 4, 200 for grade 3, etc.

I can confirm the bug in my DBX. Collecting mats and see every mat at ##/100 in both, cargo scoop, and inventory tab.

A disconnect-reconnect fixes it for me,but yeah,weird bug...

My ASP-X shows the same different amounts for different materials, anywhere from 100-300 for each. My Chieftain shows limits of 100 for each material.

nope. It's a known bug. It happens when you engineer something. If you relog (main menu then back in) the mat storage is back to normal again.

Happened to me today, too.
