    Rule hint for this card

    This card has an clarification:

    You begin a cargo run (as described on this site) when one or more of your personnel aboard a facility pick up one or more Equipment cards aboard that facility and carry them directly aboard your ship at the same location. You must announce the run and show your opponent which personnel and equipment are involved (but you do not have to specify now which personnel, equipment, or Cargo Bay you will use to complete it). When that ship arrives at a different facility any number of turns later, any of those same personnel who has been a member of the ship’s crew since the run was announced may carry any of those equipment cards directly to the Cargo Bay to complete the cargo run.

    You may not begin or complete a cargo run by beaming a crew member with equipment between universes with a Multidimensional Transport Device, or by beaming them aboard a ship with Invasive Transporters and then to Cargo Bay. You may not complete a cargo run begun by your opponent (e.g, if you take control of the ship with Neural Servo Device). Your ship can take any path from the starting facility to the ending facility, giving you credit for each mission passed (except starting and ending locations). You may count each mission only once per cargo run. See passing locations.

    While you may have multiple ships making cargo runs concurrently, a single ship’s crew can complete only one at a time, earning card draws or Latinum downloads for only one piece of equipment. To deliver any additional equipment, a crew must begin a new cargo run. See report.

    Taken form Glossary - Version 1.9.5.

    Quote from Rules of Acquisition Rules Supplement:

    This site allows ships to earn extra card draws by making “cargo runs” between facilities. You only get credit for Mission cards your ship actually passes (that is, those whose span numbers you use), and only if they occur in a direct path between the two facilities. You may not count the same mission more than once during the same cargo run. As specified on the site, you also may not count the starting and ending locations (even if you fly back and forth in an attempt to “pass” those locations).
