How to change your ship appearance.

[Lenko]

So I found a neat little bug last night.
You can change the appearance of your ship at any time by the following method:

1. Be in a space station.
2. Purchase a ship from an NPC visiting the station.
3. Don't bother transferring your ship inventory.
4. Once bought, reload the last save.
5. Voila. New ship design, with your old slots, layout and inventory.

I don't know if this works only in space stations; but I was able to repeat this several times.
The only catch is, you have to have enough money to buy the ship.

I found this handy as I had a crappy looking ship design and swapped it for a sleek fighter design.

Bumping as front page moves quick and i figure others may want to know about this.

Too much whine on the forums.

Yeah, makes it hard to find the useful stuff!

Anyway, I did this a couple of times and it worked as expected, but... After I restarted the game... Back to the old ugly ship :(

Not sure if it was a one time issue or not, but now I found a ship I really liked, and I'm afraid to restart the game to test it :P

Just a cosmetic bug, it doesn't actually change your ship.
