Odd Problem...

I've been making some missions for a plug using mission computer and a couple of them, bulk deliveries and such, I had the 'don't offer if player does not have suffient cargo space' flag checked, but they still appear in the mission BBS, even though I have 10 tons cargo space, and the missions are set to around 600. Anyone have any ideas why this might be?

That setting is only for Bar/Shipyard/Outfitter/Trade Center/Main Spaceport locations.

Ugh, that sucks. I think that should be considered a "bug"...

Makes sense to me. Bar, etc missions are offered specifically to the player. Mission Computer missions are (I assume) like a bulletin board posting that any avalible pilot can read, not just the player.
I use NCBs to get this effect: have each ship that has sufficient cargo space set one (or a require field) and test the bit/req for avalibility. I use this more for outfits (some of my ships have chemical fuel drive, some beam engine, etc, and certain upgrades avalible only for one or the other) but the principle is the same.

Ahh... Right. That definitely makes sense.
