Is there an easier way to get it?

If I see him being friendly with them, I'll be running after him, yelling and waving my walking stick above the head!

Is there anywhere on the map, or other in-game tools, to find out the max size landing pad available at a given location?

Ended up at two that would take a medium ship.

Be nice if I knew if I was going to have to carry 50 units of cargo in two at a time. We need a pick up truck...

I believe the only types that cannot receive large ships are orbital outposts (and maybe surface outposts) and several types of odyssey settlements. All others can accept small, medium, and large sized ships as far as I know. When taking missions, it used to disable ones if your current ship could not be accommodated, or at least say so in the mission description. Maybe someone who does a lot more trading than I do can correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you. That explains it. it was an Odyssey settlement. Wasn't a mission, I was just in a place to haul a bit and make some cred. Ended up sell it for more elsewhere.

But again, thanks for the information. I still think it's the kind of info that would be posted somewhere in game and not have to search INARA.

The navigation panel shows if a destination has appropriate landing pads for your current ship.

Unfortunately that information does not show up in the galaxy/system map, so you have to be in the system to find out.

The mission board should automatically lock missions if your current ship does not meet their requirements.

And like everything else in the game, third party tools do it better. Inara shows pad size in a system's Start System Stations section.

Is there an issue with the fleet carriers? Because no matter where I try to go, it keep sayin no time slots and that even when there’s hardly any other fleet carriers in the system.
Ok, so I can warp from my ships, but not on the fleet carrier?

It is an issue at the server.
I don't what causes this, and it's not all the time, but it happens every now and then.
Either keep trying, or just try again later.
