Quite by accident I discovered that it is possible to buy and sell ships for profit. I don't completely understand the mechanics of it since it appears to not always be possible for every ship type at a particular station, and there are still a lot of variables I cannot rule out due to limited testing. However, once a ship type has been found to be profitable between two stations it does appear to be repeatable. So far I tested repeatability on an eagle a couple of times after initial discovery (roughly 12k profit on that puppy), and I did find that I could also sell a hauler for profit. I did another test with an Asp Explorer but couldn't find a place to sell at profit - but I didn't look that hard, and like I say, I don't fully understand the mechanics.
Now, the profit on the eagle and hauler was consistent with a percentage based gain, so you can see where I'm going with this... Finally a good use for the Orca? lol.
The real question, before I invest any significant time into this is, is it a bug or intentional? I'm guessing the former, in which case, this is my report. Details forthcoming to FD should they ask.
