LET US SWAP SHIPS AT SPACE STATIONS... please :)

[Daveskey]

Okay, so hear me out. I think we should be able to swap ships at space stations. It sucks when a cool ship/exotic flies in while I am in my Squid Ship, but my Hangar is full. Now obviously I am not trading my Squid for ANY ship EVER... Took me damn near 400hrs to find one on my own. If we could quickly swap our ship to a much less important one to trade, it would save the hassle of flying to my freighter to swap real quick, and most likely missing the ship by the time I get back to the space station. Now I gotta wait or do the restart/tradepost method to find it again! We can already swap ships in the anomaly and a few other places. So it seems like a no brainer to add to the game. I know I could always leave a ship slot open, but sometimes I forget! This all being said, I am not upset about this not being a feature, I just think it is a good idea that could easily be imiplemented.

I LOVE this game and continue to enjoy it after 400hrs. Hello Games Rocks! They continue to push free content so many years later <3

I'd love that feature as well. I keep a ship slot open specifically because of that.

If you're willing to use mods, there is a mod that adds a short range teleporter to your freighter hangar and to Stations on the landing platform floor. It lets you move VERY quickly to your freighter hanger to swap ships, and then back. Much faster than using the teleporter or flying.

I've been using the mod for 5 days now and can attest to how well it works.

Why not just get rid of the least important ship in your hanger stable to make a spare space, then buy any desired ship outright. Rinse, repeat.

I'm still scratching my head to why they didn't allow this in space stations too....

Yes agree 100%, it's super annoying.
It's weird that if you love ship hunting you need to fly around in your least favorite ship all the time in case you spot something awesome.

[NZ.Zero]

Also (and I've already put in a bug report for this one) the 'comparison' screen should show you both storage inventories so you can move your stuff over, not both tech inventories like it does currently (since v4).
So if you like ship hunting currently, not only do you need to fly round in a junker, you can't put anything in it either.

[Jaggid Edje]

@NZ.Zer0, are you not getting the tabs that let you switch between tech and cargo on that screen? You should be. They are working for me, just used them today.

I just took a screen shot in game at the ship-trading screen to show you what I mean. Note the tooltip is telling me the key to transfer inventory and the big words "Cargo" and "Tech" at the very top in the middle (those are the tabs for switching between the two):

Don't be so greedy and leave a slot free.

I want this because when I am scrapping in stations for space bucks and mods it keeps reverting to my worst ship possible as my active ship. I will fly in with my living ship or solar and I buy ships as they come in to scrap them and when I scrap it will give me back my C class that I keep in store that I use for going through portals so I don't break my good ships. Why won't it revert to the ship I came in on? You should at least be able to select your "main" instead of it choosing the ships in order of aquiring them, but being able to swap ships in dock would be nice just like you can summon on the surface.
I think I understand why. It is because each landing pad has a reserved marker for the ships coming in and you can't over ride that, but surely they could work something out.

i want this future for another reason, i lost yesturday an S class fighter because i didnt have time to remove all goods from my A class, i want to have a spare B or C fighter so i can trade it asap.
TODAy lost the oportunity to trade my hauler b with an S :=///// go to nearest planet, bring hauler, travel back to station, he was gone.

EDIT or at least make a big expansion that we can create those ships with huge amounyt of mats that we gather

I would just love a higher ship limit. I realize 9 is already alot but the ships in this game are just so awesome that I need it to be more like 99

I Agree entirely!

[Teratus]

Also want this feature.

It's annoying to have to leave the space station to swap ships on a freighter or in the anomaly when you just want to scrap some crap ones you picked up.

If we can't have ship swapping in the space station then can we have ship scrapping in the freighter or the anomaly?
