A stupid question...probably..

Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:42 pm by Tommy

I was just wondering; when I beam aboard weapons for ships I've blown up, how do I actually equip them to my ship without selling them, and re-buying them, from the equipment dealer? I know it's a silly question, but I've only just started playing this game, and it's an expensive process the way I've been doing it.

Thanks in advance.

Do this when you're on a planet or base:

Look at the weapons that are currently equipt on your ship in your inventory or when your talking to a weapons dealer. Notice the blue squer-like thingy in the picture of the specific weapon? Click on it and the weapons is removed from your ship. Now you've got a free slot on your ship. Select a weapon that's not equipt and click on the opened squere.. You'll now when you've done it right cause you'll here a destinctive sound.

Yes, basically the blue square denotes a 2 piece jig-saw, in which when connected, means the weapon is mounted, and when the square is in parts (split) means de-mounted.

So if you don't have a free slot to mount your newly pilfered weapon, you will need to de-mount an existing gun. Remember to check the weapons classes before attempting to mount and de-mount weapons, as you can't fit a higher class weapon to a lower class slot.

Once you have chosen which ones to swap, just de-mount the weapon by pressing the blue jig-saw in the top left of the weapon icon, and find the weapon you wish to mount in its place, again by pressing the blue (this time split) jig-saw. And VOILA!!!!

I usually keep all my weapons as they don't take up any cargo space, and i sell the ones i don't need or want to other players who wish to buy them for cheap price.

But, if you get killed, you will lose all the weapons that aren't mounted to your ship, thus losing out on any $$$$$$ if you would have sold them.

In MP ya lose it, not SP.

This stuff SHOULD have been in the manual, someone should collect a list of stuff like this,
make a FAQ, and get it sticky.
