I was referring more to the bit about a failed roll when initially loading causing it to take twice as long to unload, with nary a mention of the 20% reduction. I suppose you could do it as two separate rolls - one for speed (success gives the 20% reduction, failure gives normal rate) and once for proper loading (success means no change, failure means the next time you need to transfer that cargo, it takes twice as long; this can be reduced to 1.6x - might just round that down to 1.5x - with a successful Freight Handling roll when you do the transfer).

No problem. I actually checked SS2 first, and one line (SS2:38) at the end of the section on buying speculative cargo referenced where in SS1 the rules would be found. Certainly easy to miss.
