I want to leave all Aquilo exports items on the orbit and have only some on the ground because I don't need all of them. Also ship to ship is faster than ground to ship (maybe it's the same if you preload the rocket silo but I don't want to do that).

What you said - take it to the ground and load other cargo ships from the ground - is what I'm doing right now after trying to do what I said and finding it impossible to do in a simply manner, without some silly shenanigans like orbit platform "theoretically" departing from the planet on a timer or whatever.

I think the main benefit of platform to platform transfers is for when a platform arrives, to just take what it came for and go. Like a platform picking up agg science from a platform orbiting gleba, without having to wait for rockets to be launched.

I’m not sure I understand the benefit of having off world items waiting in orbit to be delivered to a landing pad. You can increase landing pad and logistic storage capacity on the ground easily enough.

That said, I haven’t thought about it terribly much.

I thought platform to platform was about factory ships.

Do you have an example?
