Just to give other people the fun of finding things out for themselves. :)

Got the BCC, made some money, traded in for an Asp II, got the kills up, traded back to a BCC because I will need cargo space and fuel scoops for a bit, then looking to trade for another Asp II ideally with a Naval Energy Unit. 8)

Bear in mind that when buying ships with pre-installed equipment that is not regularly available at the local tech level, you have to pay a big bonus for such equipment.

...and also that a NEU is restricted military tech. If you have bought a ship pre-fitted with one but have not earned one through services to the military it cannot be repaired if damaged. In this event you will only be offered a replacement Extra Energy Unit.

Well, indeed. And on the latest bus run, I was about three jumps from the start with twelve eager passengers aboard and nine-tenths of the galaxy still to cross when this tw@ of a pirate burned out my nice new Military Shield. No time to stop and get it fixed of course! Gah.
