Transfer equipment between two ships

[Beans]

This is very frustrating! Where is the @#$%^$ing manual!!!
I docked my two ships at the equipment dock, and now I am trying to transfer my satelites from the old ship to the new ship. How do I transfer it?

The game is very frustrating when it comes to info.
I dont see that being possible. The transfer.

You can’t transfer them directly, at the moment the best you can do is use the modify ship commands to sell them back to the station (I believe there’s a 100% buyback on modules and consumables) and then add some of the other ship.

So the game isn't finished?

Workaround:
1) drop cargo
2) get into that spacesuit, baby
3) dock to your another ship
4) pickup cargo

I hope teleport tech can be used to teleport goods in the future for close range.

Or maybe the devs didn’t like that mechanic and choose not to implement it?

On the map (or property list might be easier), click the ship you want to take wares from, then right click the ship you want to send them to, select "transfer wares with ...", the use the sliders to change what wares get swapped between ships.

Some people have said you need an NPC pilot in both, and you don't fly the ship, some have said you can fly one, and NPC in the other. Personally only gotten it to work letting the NPC captains do their thing, they fly out to space, one drops the cargo, the other picks it up. Kinda stupid and round about way of doing it, especially if both ships were already docked...

Do satellites count as wares? I’ve not played with that option yet, no need to so far.

I missed this in dock too.
In space I had this Option.

1.Select the ship from that you want to Transfer.
2. right click on the Ship you want it and use Transfer ...

Thank you for feedback. I may try to play it again, but not today.

Well for one it can save you that space walk from one ship to another right now by just teleporting over. X3 did have transfer devices that were basically cargo teleporters. Rebirth you just needed cargo drones on one of the ships.

If you just want to enter to a ship of you fleet in Dock I used the Terminal in front of the ship. But atm it is bugged that the Door is closed and fast travel also not work to Exit again you have to start and land again then everithing works fine.

I'm having this problem too. I think they're still patching the game but this is one of those little annoyances that's, so far, gone under the radar.

It's like wanting to carry out a simple task like picking a cup up to have a drink but then not having the ability of your arms. Such a simple thing is a f#ck on.

I had two ships parked next to each other, and the option to "transfer wares" did not appear. I remember being able to do this in X3, but is it broken here?
