Equiping looted items - Help

Just a quick question in the game (full), when i loot weapons off destroyed targets they appear in my inventory under the weapons category, ex. drail III, when i land however i cannot equip it... is this not a feature? i repair the item, and make an empty slot for it, and i cannot place it in their, and its not because i am low level becuase the same thing happens with the most basic weapons, am i forced to sell it? or is there some special key?

thanks,

-Vile

you have to click the mount or unmount button in the upper left hand corner of the item's picture. However there must be room for the equipment to fit.

And the class of the waepon must be at the same or lower the class of the hardpoint.

This was one of the things I was worried about before I ever played the game, and I'm pleased with how they made it work. I like how I can buy some guns but keep the old ones in my hold and try the new ones out. Sometimes I've put the old ones back on because I liked the way they worked better. FL's scheme for modifying your ship is light years ahead of any other game I've played where your ship is customizable. If only you could change your paintjob, maybe they'll put that in FL2.

Yes..a very nice feature of Freelancer ( which Privateer lacked ) is the ability to salvage equipmet off of ships you have blown up. I got a "Barrager" gun this way and have not been able to find that gun at any of the stations or planets in Liberty. It is a very nice gun too!

In several ways Freelancer is better than Privateer. And that is coming from a die hard Privateer fan!
