Trouble shooting list by Bunny
(This may seem obvious but go through it anyway)
1. The EMP mod must be installed in order to use this script. It won't work without it - period.
2. Installing EMP may require you starting a new game (I had to)
3. Your ship must be equipped with a "Transporter device" (purchased from the Goner temple in Cloudbase South West)
4. Your ship must also have at least one unit of "Freight beamer upgrade". This is purchased from Boron trading stations. If it is not in stock then save and reload and explore till you find one. This upgrade costs 38000 and has 1 unit volume. Why is this not a command upgrade with zero volume?. The answer to that is the EMP thread seems to say there was a bug with command ware and thus a cargo ware has been used instead. The Freight beamer upgrade is not to be confused with the Freight scanner which something completely different.
5. You must be within 3.5 km of the ware you want to beam in
6. If your cargo hold has insufficient space then you will get a "We are being hailed" audio message an entry in your player log
7. Your ship must be able to carry the cargo type being beamed in (S,M,L,XL)
8. The hotkey must be mapped. Having the key mapped will not beam stuff in unless you have a transporter device and freight beamer upgrade installed.
Cheers

P.S. I mentioned that some lines of EMP code seemed weird. Well they were fine when EMP was installed so this was just a quirk of the SE.
Testing was done using ftu1.2 downloaded from the header page.

Yes that would be nice, but unfornately the script editor cannont *Target* asteroids as they are not "wares". Their are many other posts explaining this. (hopefully this will be fixed in 1.3.1)LV,
Will this script work for retrievable asteroids as well? That would be sweet if you can fly in after blasting an asteroid and have this transporter grab all the pieces...much safer than opening the cargo doors..

shouldnt be a problem
the emp just adds extra wares.
i will let you know, because i have to install the emp for this too. if it works, i will update the post
EDIT:
Doesnt work for me.
I have installed the script and the emp mod, and selected the mod when launching game.
I manually ran the setup script and checked the boron eq dock in kingdom end. no new ware listed at 38000. in fact, no new ware listed at all.
I even checked to see if a new ware was inserted ingame by checking the wares available in the script editor. Nothing leaps out at me...
am i missing something? should there be a ware, if so, whats it called and more importantly, HOW DO I GET IT?

aye, i know what the emp does.
just cant find anything at the boron eq docks to buy.
i have checked your script and assume its called "a lv boxbeam" or something similiar, but none of the equipment docks offer it for sale.
my ship has the transporter device, as does one of my goner ships. neither beam cargo.
i am assuming at this minute in time that another script is interfering with the ware being added to the docks
