Newcomer / Intro Armour same stats but different price

[Demrohir]

I found this: https://inara.cz/elite/station-outfitting/861/

I am in Daedelus in SOL and according to link ^ they don't have armour for a fed.corvette?
Yet in game I can buy one of these?

So if the station doesn't have the part specific for your ship it's shows all?
But it won't work as well as one designed for my ship?

I don't seem the point why they changed it this way.

I haven't played the game for more than 4 -5 years and only got back in yesterday and saw that the whole outfitting menu has been re designed. I remember you used to select your part and it showed you available parts in store (or no parts available) with the changes in stats of your ship. But that seems to be all gone?

This is one of the dumb things about ship armor in this game. It should read Blah Blah (Adder). You should be able to buy parts for a ship you're not flying so you can transfer it somewhere else. I don't think Mass is displaying right.

Nevermind I found out that it is still like I remember I just need to actually go to a starport that sells them.

It still weird I can buy parts for ships I don't have though or is that for a new mission type I haven't seen yet? Anywayd doesn't matter.

You can buy modules straight into storage IIRC.
