Ship Duplication

[Diablo89]

My ship duplicated itself and the inventory and the duplicated ship is a hauler instead of shuttle. Is it safe to take the new hauler or no?

How's that, can you elaborate further what you mean with 'duplicated itself'. I've never seen your story in action so more details are necessary...

[Diablo89]

Here's the two ships. Original Ship is named Radiant Oakehara XVIII as seen in the screenshots but from the outside shares the same name as the other ship. They also share the same bonus stats as well.

Seems the ships both actually share the inventory, where if I pull from one then go into the other, the items pulled are gone.

Humm...pictures of ships don't tell who owns them... To be sure what you own, go in the Quickmenu and count your ships, or if you have a freighter, go to space, summon your freighter and all your ships are inside. I cannot explain why 2 different ships happen to have the same cargo content, you are not trying to kid us, right? :)

In each system, every NPC has a clone of himself with the same ship which also has the same name, that's confusing if you buy or exchange to that ship and see the clone comming in...but this should not be a major problem I think...You own what you buy and keep that name, and you can change name if you want.

So after leaving the system and summoning freighter it seems to be gone. Not sure what caused the duplicated ship in the first place.

[japp_02]

Well, what counts is what is in your quickmenu or in your freighter. That's what you really own :)

[Diablo89]

I get that but what threw me off was I was able to fly it and had the same exact inventory and tech installed. Not sure what caused it either as I was just sitting in the station looking for a new ship haha

Other way to tell for sure it's your ship is: get close and aim to it, you will get the text "[ship name] Your Starship".

[japp_02]

Must be sort of a bug, it's the first time I see something like that, I would not complain if some of my ships change to 48-slot Hawlers... :=)

[Diablo89]

Sadly kept the same slots haha otherwise I would've definitely kept it.

From your last picture: It's highly likely that you own both of them if you have chosen to "Add to my Collection" in the exchange menu. Then, it's alright, if you reload game or summon your freighter the one ship which is not your current one will be placed inside your freighter.
