"Sell Ship at" Button greyed out

[Jan]

When I build some ships at my wharf and right click on npc wharf, the "Sell Ship at" button is greyed out. I have no problem selling ships bought from npc shipyards or the captured ones. Is this deliberate to prevent you from spam building ships and getting quick money?

update: problem found. Caused by economy balance mod.

Have you tried taking those ships out of your Wharf? Have you given them a Pilot?

Could you please confirm if you are using mod or not?
I had similar issue in the past and it was due to a better economy mod

You can't sell ships on a faction where you don't have good relations.

The ships you sell must have a pilot and be the appropriate class of a warf (s/m sell only at s/m wharf and L/XL at shipyard)

They have to be outside your wharf (so they don't bug inside when you sell it or stay parked forever,not sure if is still a thing or ever was but i always put them outside)

A ship definitely does not require a pilot to be sold remotely. I've claimed a bunch of ships with my marines, I instantly transfer them back to my ship and then sell the uncrewed ship on the spot to whatever wharf.

Yes and Yes. I ordered them to fly out of the wharf and then remove all orders. They have pilots.

Yes, and I also use better economy mod (the one from most subscribed sort). I'm guessing it's because of mod. But it's strange only play built ships are affected.

update: It is indeed due to economy balance mod. I disabled it and problem disappeared.

Have good relations with all major factions, 10+ minimum. I tried sell s class ships to npc wharfs.

Good, sounds like issue cause is identified then.
I suspect the mod author did this to prevent player from cheesing the game by buying one single ship blueprint and spam it (with basic engine/thruster and no shield/weapon) to make tonnes of credits. It is intended for player to need to get ship blueprints of nearby faction and various equipment to increase the amount of orders your wharf will get. (without this you can spam build split ships with wharf in HOP space and still sell them)
