Buyer Beware - Purchasing Stuff From Rescue Mega Ships

Quick Summary: Do Not leave Human Brocker specialty modules in Rescue Megaships for pickup or xfer later on.


Today I purchased 4E Anticorrosion Cargo Rack from human tech broker at Rescue Ship Cavell. The required mats came out of my inventory and I could see the new module available in outfitting. It definitely existed. I traveled to Finlay Hub in the Vogulu system where the ship I want it added to is. The new cargo rack did not appear in outfitting for transfer. I rebooted the game.. still didn't appear. I travelled to another station... it still didn't appear to exist. It also did not appear in INARA upon refresh. I returned to the Rescue Megaship Ship and it was there. I swapped it on my ship replacing a regular fuel scoop and returned to Finlay Stn. The fuel scoop I left on the rescue ship DOES appear available for xfer.

Edit - The Answer:
  • Certain broker items you "unlock" each time you want one... and they appear in outfitting one-at-a-time as you "buy" them using mats from the broker.
  • Other items you unlock and then you can purchase directly from outfitting as many times you wish using credits.
  • Anticorrosive racks get unlocked... making them appear in outfitting for purchase... then you purchase as many times as you wish using credits.

Can't be bothered writing a report in the issue tracker. Obviously not enough people will vote for this in the Issue Tracker to become noticed by FD.

Anti-Corrosive cargo racks are an unlock, not a purchase. You need to buy them in outfitting after unlocking them, to transfer them to another station.

Unlock, purchase, whatever. I gave the guy the mats and the rack showed up in the Rescue Ship's outfitting. I just didn't choose to equip it. I wanted it for another ship. It was my desire to xfer it. But at other stations it did not show up. Initially I thought the game bugged and I lost the module. Graaarrrr! But no... it just wasn't available (or visible) from other stations.

When I returned to the Rescue Mega Ship with a different ship (the correct one) the new module was available in the Rescue Ship's outfitting. It had most defintely been acquired earlier.

I didn't do any further testing. Trying this multiple times, creating additional modules I don't want, using up mats... nope. Sorry, I'm not that committed.

Yes, as a module available for you to buy. After you unlocked it with mats.

Ah yes, I see now.

Certain broker items you "unlock" each time you want one... and they appear in outfitting one-at-a-time as you "buy" them using mats from the broker.

Other items you unlock and then you can purchase directly from outfitting as many times you wish using credits.

It appears anticorrosive cargo racks you "unlock" making them appear in outfitting... and then you can purchase for credits as many times as you wish. If had the correct ship with me at the time for equiping this would have been obvious.

Since 4.0, it should be possible to buy modules directly into the storage, without having compatible slots available. At least in Odyssey it is, I don't know about Horizons.

Yes, if you select Buy and Store Modules before purchase you can grab as many as you like, then go and pick them up later or transfer them.
