Those. the old mechanism, when they were lying on the warehouse with the inscription - Rented, will not work?
Engineering and Pre-Built Ships

As said by @Alien there is a buy back feature for existing modules but I don’t think it lasts for longer than the time you are in outfitting it certainly does not last long enough to leave the pad and return.
It is likely that the feature will apply to these modules as well just as a way to correct a mistake before leaving outfitting.
Will I have to pay more for another pre-built AX-Chieftain after buying first one?
??
So far the statement on prebuilts are that they cost an initial ARX amount, have no rebuy cost and modules will be sold at 0 credits if attempted to be stored.
(the last part is to prevent them being exploited as module-printers)
Any module you add to the prebuilts after buying them will raise the rebuy from 0; this is something new players need to be made acutely aware of.
If you are talking about a completely different AX-Chieftain layout, then there has been no statement on that.
-i guess if there's enough overlap a discount is possible, however it remains to be seen.
I thought they were asking about buying a second identical Chieftain, I was wondering in response if (a) there was any point in having more than one and (b) if FDev should limit it to one per account.
If a second pre-built ship of the same build is allowed, then it would become a "pay-to-not-lose-as-badly" thing. Which would actually be useful even for experienced players... and allow them to support FDev easier.
The Cutter I take to the Titans idles at 38% heat, it's not a massive concern.
If that is what the person meant, i understand the supporting fdev easier part.
What i don't understand is why you would want two of the exact same ship.
It rebuys for 0 credits, and you can still only fly one of them at a time.
What am i missing here?
Same for my alt's Cutter. Still has the overcharged PP because I couldn't be bothered to refit it and it still manages surprisingly well. The Chieftain could be colder, but it's not a crippling thing.
So it's not quite exact build actually. We would do just customize them for each situation while leaving as many of original modules intact to reduce re-buy. Even if you throw away most of the pre-built modules, you still save the base cost of the ship of on rebuy.If that is what the person meant, i understand the supporting fdev easier part.

Though if you have like module swapped in that costs more than the ship itself then it won't help your rebuy.
Also ultra laziness from not wanting to swap out modules every time I want to do a different part of a related activity. Like AX base defense-build to Attack on Titan build.

2) Sell a pre-built module by accident
So far I think it is lost forever because another ship is unavailable to buy.
I'm thinking about buying one of these pre-builds, swapping in a SCO FSD, and practicing. I'd repeatedly try to find the maximum range I can reach before the ship burns up. The rebuy lost would be small, while the knowledge and skills gained would be large. I could then use that knowledge and skill on a build that I don't consider a disposable toy.
The money doesn't matter to me. It's going to a good place IMO.

Or you could user the Stock Courier and Vulture from winking cat rewards, also 0 cost. I use it for AX combat, and I can swap modules, so its better then ARX ships.
Even the free sidewinder from Ay Indi have 0 cost, you can farm multiple free fuel tanks.
The rebuy is a minor part of my idea. I'm considering this as a way to continue supporting Frontier, and to have a little new fun.
I already have 5 copies of Horizons, and 4 of Odyssey. I won't gain any additional enjoyment from purchasing more copies. Purchasing cosmetics doesn't interest me, other than those I have a functional use for. I'm all about the mechanics, finding the visuals mostly boring. ED is still my personal favorite, so I want to support them for as long as I feel that way. The pre-builds may work perfect;y for doing so
As normal modules can be re-bought (buyback after selling) while in outfitting, i'd surmise prebuilts' modules can be too.
Fairly serious oversight otherwise.
I thoroughly welcome any and all changes to Engineering. In it's current form it is tedious beyond measure.
I'm concerned they may only be changing on-foot engineering. They did state they wanted to reduce material costs, and that can't really be done with most G1 ship engineering. Suit and personal weapon engineering could use some adjustment though. I'd be quite happy with that alone.
It's looking like a year full of "wait and see" from FDev

P2W again
Can you give me an example of any build (even meta FDL) buying which newbie can win at least from me ?
...let's not forget, it also just killed Open.
What's that? The open game was killed (and continues to be killed) by gankers, they spent years learning the mechanics of flight, collecting builds practicing, and they are not interested in killing Thargoids, they are more interested in killing unprotected people....let's not forget, it also just killed Open.
Remember the engineer base gank.
So the builds being sold may not make it as easy for them.
Just joking, mate. Along with "P2W" nonsense, a bunch of people here add "...and it killed Open too, this is a final nail in the coffin" etc etc.
