tf.. why does even downtime cause bugs?

players pay CCP hundreds of thousands of dollars every month, yet you can’t even take good care of a hamster.

Have you tried the compression shortkey?

It could be that only the UI is bugged, not the ability to compress. It’s a really nice shortkey to have bound anyway!

And does relogging fix it?

Still an annoying bug, I imagine.

And you’re sure you have the right compressor active?

Thats moon ore.

Is it the correct compressor or do you have an Asteroid Ore Ccompressor fitted?

That’s incorrect, the Orca does have access to a moon ore compressor. It’s the Porpoise that cannot.

Many days later, I would add: Re-login can solve 99% of the problems.
