Managing travel with your Cargo Disk
To access the Equipment screen type "E". To access the General Information Screen, type "C" to open the Character Screen, then make sure you are on the "General" or 1st tab (usually default). If these screens don't open right away, make sure you are not typing into a chat box. If you are, click anywhere on the game screen, outside the chat box, and try again.
Selecting the right Cargo Disk:
First, know that cargo disks are craft level specific, the higher your crafting level, the more selection you'll have. Different disks have different speeds, cargo capacities and stack numbers.
If you are hauling a lot of just one item, you might choose a disk that only has one stack, but carries much more. If you are planning on processing your cargo into more than one item, you might want to sacrifice some of the carry capacity in favor of a higher number of stacks, so that you don't get stuck with too much in inventory and no place to put it!
Another consideration is speed. In the screenshot below, you can see that this high capacity cargo disk decreases the users speed by a considerable amount. If you don't need that much carry capacity and are hauling it a long way, you might want to look for a faster disk that carries less.
In addition, some disks can be teleported with you and others cannot. Note that teleportation rates increase with the amount of cargo you have on your disk, so you might want to weigh the added cost of teleportation against the savings of using a faster disk and running or flying to your destination.
Also, the Cargo Disks for Bipeds and Dragons are a little bit different. While a Dragon may use a Biped Disk, a Biped may not use a Dragon Disk. A Dragon that is using a Biped Disk will not be able to fly with the disk. In order for a Dragon to fly with the Cargo Disk it must be a Dragon Cargo Disk. The Dragon Disks are color coded for their faction. Blue for Helian and red for Lunus, but no matter what faction you are, you can use either disk. The color coding is mostly for role-playing.
Finally, keep in mind that the default is to fill the disk first, if your inventory starts to fill first, check to make sure you didn't put something else on the disk before you get too much in inventory to swap it out.
(Note: So far I have not been able to get a scroll to work so I don't know if you can scroll teleport with a disk or not, nor have "I" seen a disk that allows you to recall with it, but I have been told that they exist, and I would LOVE to have one myself if they do!)
In the screenshot above you can see the users speed has decreased from 50, down to only 24.
In the screenshot below of a Dragon's speed with its Cargo Disk, you can see that both run speed and fly speed have decreased.
In the screenshot above, you can see that by clicking on the chain link, you can detach your cargo disk and leave it floating there in that spot, rather than dragging it around with you while you harvest. Leaving it in a central location of the resource field and simply running back and forth to it when your inventory fills up can save harvesting time if the nodes are close together. Also, if you are close enough to the disk, and have already started a stack of the resource on the disk, it will still automatically fill the disk first.
In the screenshot below of a Dragon's equipment window, you can see that the cargo disk is detached and the blue arrow above the link icon is pointing to its location. Without the disk attached, the Dragon's speed has returned to normal.
