How do I return to my X-Fighter?

Norvik · Post by **Norvik** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 1:51 am

Hello,everyone first post anyways How do I remove my Cargo Transport so my ship returns to being an X-Fighter it is such a waste of time 3 days to accumilate 1250 creds and be left with 75 then sell a little thinking I would have an X-Fighter cargo with similar speed?

Also does buying an extension cargo do the same or does it leave my X-Fighter with an increased cargo but no changes in speed?

when you buy a ship, it replaces your old one. so, the only wany to change ships it to buy another, or sell the one you have if possible.

extension bays work on any ship you have and you keep no matter how many different ships you go threw. so, if you buy a 10t expansion when you have a cargo ship, the expansion still works when you upgrade to an xfighter, or whatever other ships you might buy.

So theres no way of getting my x-fighter back?

What I meant was if lets say I buy a 10t Extension does it convert my let say x-fighter to a cargo ship or does it leave it the same except with more space

No everything stays the same, just increases the cargo room.

cargo extensions only affect carrying capacity according to extension amnt... doesnt effect speed or change ship or anyhting. only one extension can be on a ship at a time.. if you have a 10T and buy a 25T, it only adds 25 and not 35.

Ok,but can I return my former X-Fighter that I bought a Cargo Transport and now its a Cargo Ship,can I return it back into an X-Fighter,becouse it seems a waste of time to get all that money buy a great ship and then waste it in a stupid maner.

No once you bought an new ship, it stays that ship till you buy a new one.

But thats the thing I bought the only x-Fighter that I know exist anywhere,I only wish that the cargo transport is jetesinable.

also buying a cargo extension does it remove the cargo transport or not?

the cargo extension is seperate from the ships...so if you upgrade a ship from 10 tons to 20 with the 10T extension you'll have 20-30 tons of cargo space so every time you get a newer ship your cargo hold will be 10T more then the ship is w/o the extension

Listen Carfully everyone after spending 3 days accumilating something like 1200 credits I went and bought an X-Fighter I did not know about cargo extensions in detail at that time I went and bought a cargo transport thinking it was the only way to carry items,now how can I get back the x-fighter becouse the cargo tranport is an uneccisary item that I would would rather have less space,then to have the a slow cargo enhancment.

hi norvick, welcome to the game

firstly, unless one of the game staff (aka gods) is feeling a little more than generous, and maybe even a little drunk, there are only 2 ways in which you can get back your x-fighter, and I'm afraid both involve going back to the laborious space trade you had to do to get it in the first place. Frustratin' i know

method 1 - go back to trading with the cargo ship you have now (with or without extension) and then buy a new x-fighter

method 2 - (slightly more drastic) - close all in-game windows (coms/maps/trade reports) and whilst in space type !resetme - this will reset your space character back to how you were when you first started the game - with the same cash and shuttle, and give you a chance of getting back your x-fighter with a clean slate. this will not reset any planetary characters you have, only affects space.

for future reference - a good place to check ship stats before you buy is http://www.tuwr.net/pmwiki.php?n=Galaxy.ShipStats

there are also hints and tips scattered here and there for newbie space traders, one of the better ones is in the news archives on the TU homepage: http://theuniversal.net/narchive.php

as the guys above have mentioned - buying a ship replaces the one you currently have - its not garaged or stored for you to return to. ship add-ons such as cargo bay extensions and stardrives all remain in your ship inventory, but only the largest is accessible for use - they are not cumulative. occasionally you can get lucky and find a station to dispose of old extensions/stardrives, but generally at a loss

Ok,thats what I'am trying to do except that I bought the only X-Fighter that I know of in the univers I have been to and there is now way in hell I'am reseting myself becouse I have a Stardrive L8 and an Impdrive which allows you to telleport to any typed planet.

For the previous poster my username is panzerassault666 that is why you cant seem to find me.

Also what do you mean Gods(Staff),what do you mean?and how?

Post by **Magicfinger** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 9:33 pm

ok as a one off ive swapped your cargo transport for a x-fighter as the info was obvioulsy confusing.

Norvik · Post by **Norvik** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 10:02 pm

Magic Fingers I dont know what you mean,listen I for 3 days traded in space then when I had 1200 I bought an X-Fighter,which removed the cargo ship that I had I thought I need a cargo transport,since you couldent trade unless you had it for trading so I went and bought it and when I launched I was horrified to notice that I had the same previouse ship and not the X-Fighter.

the game makers & developers - who all do this for fun, its not their paid job, will on occasion help out newbies who get into difficulties, by tinkering behind the scenes and fixing what went wrong.

looks like magicfinger (one of that volunteer staff team) - has fixed your problem, acc. to his post.

- that's why he asked for your in-game user account name - so he could find you and help. hope its all sorted for you now

OH THANK YOU SO MUCH,Magic Fingers words cannot express my gratitude,Thank You,I hope it wasent to much trouble.

basically the cargo ship you used to have i have removed from you inventory on the galaxy server and replaced it with an x fighter as there was obviously a mistake made and it leads to no gameplay advantage to you.
