Known Issues

Workarounds: First, If the Hull-C has cargo as part of the end of the flow, try and request detach via the Cargo center rather than regular ATC. Second, if the Hull-C doesn’t have cargo, make sure the spindles are collapsed then store, retrieve again, and request via regular ATC on mG comms.
