Newcomer / Intro Selling Ships

[Mr. Woof]

Hi there,

I'd like to introduce myself: I'm a former C64/Amiga Elite and PC First Encouters veteran who found our three weeks ago that a new Elite was imminent and immediately pre-ordered it. Ever since December 16th I've been playing in my sparse spare time (to the dismay of everyone who knows me in the real world) and even though I've been quite conservative in my approach, I've managed to earn enough money to pimp my Eagle to a nice fighter, climb a few ranks in the Federation Navy and earn enough spare cash to buy a third bigger ship with some nice extras that do not come standard with the model.

However, here is where a slight problem starts for me: to be honest I do not need three ships. I could trade in the Sidewinder of course, but I won't get anything for her anyway since she's the free ship, and I definitely won't trade in my Eagle. So what if I should decide that I buy a third ship, but won't need it anymore in the future. How can I ever sell it (apart for trading it for another Sidewinder)?

Thanks
Best regards
Mr. Woof

You won't get any credits for the Sidey unless you've done upgrades and then you would get whatever they are worth. No real reason to hang onto the Sidey if you've moved up though. It does nothing that can't be done better with other ships.

So what you're saying is, I should simply keep my Eagle as a fighter and trade in the Sidey for a newer larger ship, even though I won't get any money for it but save myself the trouble of storing it?

I've stored mine - just in case. After all, why "sell" something for 0 credits.
