ship prices

it the price of a ship the same or does it change from dealer to dealer?

Welcome maniacbeta, a particular ship can only be bought in one location, so you will not be able to find it cheaper elsewhere.

Is there a trade-in scheme?

Post Sun Feb 16, 2003 2:14 pm

Indeed there is, though you will have to sell your ship at a lower rate than what you paid for it. It being a used vehicle and all.

So just like in Tachyon you load up all you under powered weapons on the ship then sell it, or strip it down then sell?

Mustang- one location? I thought there were multiple places the same ships could be bought throughout the systems that sell them. Like check out ships sold in California system and New York system in the bases database.

So are they the same price?

some ships have multiple buy locations and some have 1 or 2 locations

Instead of outright buying/selling you trade-in your current ship (not equipment) for the one you want, and the value of your ship is subtracted from the cost of the ship, so you don't actually have to have the credits you need to buy the ship, if your ship is expensive enough, though usually you only upgrade to more expensive ships so you will need to pay the difference in credits, which can be quite high.

So you can only sell your old ship and buy your new ship from the same seller? damn! but I guess it had to be like that. It's totally uncool for Trent to go ride an Avis-rental ship to visit the ship seller he wants, after selling his old ship. or perhaps he can travel by space-omnibusses .

can you add logos to your ship?

I'm pretty sure I've seen the same ship for sale at different bases in the NY system. NY is the only place I have been so far.
