We really should be able to sell ships. Would make finding those broken ships far more lucrative.

So my question is, why did you not trade them in from the get go instead of keeping them? Just curious. I currently have 2 ships, the pre-order one and new one i bought. I plan on trading the one i'm using until i get a keeper, then i'll buy.

That being said, let us sell ships lol.

Thought you could sell them. So I was going to fix them up then sell them early on for money. I kept finding broken ships so often I didnt have money to trade them all in.

You can't. You can only switch your current ship to it.

It's ridiculous that you cannot sell or delete ships... I now have 5 ships, most of which I don't want. If I find a ship I want at the space station, I'm unable to buy it, as I'm at my 5 ship limit. I cannot spawn in the ship I want to trade, so I'm stuck unable to do anything...

The only way to trade a ship is if I'm USING the ship I want to get rid of, which is absolutely ridiculous... why the hell would I be flying around in a ship I don't want? Just so that I'm able to trade it away if I find one I DO want???

Being unable to select the ship you want to trade away is a massive oversight. Surely this is not an intended mechanic? It seems like a basic need in the game.

Due to being able to get rid of ships i don't want.. i'm borderline deciding to start a new game. Just to free up ship limit slots... that's how rediculous this is... take a hint HelloGames, you need to fix this.

Yes it would be great if we can choose what ship to trade in, but I have one that I use with stuf for repairing the life pods and such. I rename that ship to something that fits. Then I call it when I need the stuff. I also rename the ones I want to trade as Trade me. Then I take them out when I an ready to look for a replacement ship. You also do not have to fix all the stuff and it still trades in for a good amount. Depending on the ship you are trying to get, you could have a cost of 0.

What about freighters? Can you trade those?

i wonder why they changed that with the ships...

it used to be only possible to exchange a crashed ship with your actual ship... and you were only able to add ships to your collection while docked at your freighter.


same for freighters.. it was hard work to get the first freighter... now you get one every now and than... for free because you saved that freighters rear.

and to answer the question.. you can only exchange the freighter... i learned the hard way.

i got a 48 slots, A Rating, Gek Capital Freighter after only 10 jumps... the game felt "harder" before Next.

You can dump ships if you want. Just take your crappy ship down the a planets surface, call a 2nd ship and leave it their, take your capital ship and fly away.

When I do that, the one I left shows up and the next time I jump with the freighter, it is still there.

The last time I got a new freighter, there was no trade in and I lost all the suff on it. I jkeep the stuff I do not want to loss on some ships just for that reason because the ships do transfer.

cant you just crash a ship like.. smash it against floor, structures etc.. so that way maybe you can get rid of it.. even if you die, unless you are in hardcore mode, it is ok.

You can't do that. I don't own a freighter and i have two ships. I can swap between them freely as long as they have launch fuel.

Once you realize you can't sell them... why keep adding them to your fleet ? specially if you don't want them ?

Spawn it on your base planet, use the teleporter to go to a station if you found one that has the ship you're after

And finally it was like that PRIOR to NEXT and this game mechanic has not changed... funnily enough it's only with the new update that players get mad at that again (probably happened before but I started playing only since this winter sales) so since I play from that january, in 6 month or so, I have NEVER seen anyone complaing about that game mechanic...

And trust me... I see a lot of new complaints right now, from game mechanics that were also there PRIOR to NEXT but never got anyone as mad as it is those days...
Should be loving the new crowd boarding... sigh

you still have them in your fleet... just you don't see it.
And If mechanic of max 6 ships is still there (which I guess so, but haven't reached that in my fresh restart) you'll need to swap that ship at some point.

Now all of you that complain... it's still a FREE REDUCTION PRICE for your next new ship....
