Earlier I decided to try one out. Bought it and found that the ship doesnt have any gun mounts, however the equipment purchase screen still lists the lasers. You can select a laser but then you don't have a list of mounts. Seems to me, if you can't arm the ship, then you shouldn't be given the option of lasers at all.
Another strange thing happened as well. On my Python I had a Naval Energy Unit, which I recently obtained via the Thargoid Plans mission. I believe that I'm correct in saying that when you change ships you should get it transferred automatically. This didn't happen with this ship.
I then decided to buy a different ship, selected a Griff Cobra, pressed return to buy it, and then the game crashed with a totally black screen. Couldn't quit out with CTRl-Q, Alt-TAB didn't work, had to kill the process to return to Windows.
From my log:
Code: Select all
