Newcomer / Intro Is there any way to transfer ships between shipyards?

Hi all,

First day and still getting into the hang of the game.

Basically we start at Dalton Gateway with 2 ships (eagle and sidey), which takes literally forever to get to each time (100'000 ls plus).
Besides me thinking that this was an awful spot for some/all(?) to start at with the distance to cover if ever wanting to swop over ships, i foolishly bought my hauler from here. Leaving 2 ships docked here now.

I dont wanna have to start over, but neither do i want to cover that distance just to be able to swop ships every time, so i wondered whether there was a way to transfer ships to different locations?

If not ill just buy another hauler at a shipyard closer to its star, Eravate seems a better choice.

Cheers :)

I've just thought, i could always sell them (at a small loss) and repurchase at another shipyard :)
 
I don't think there is that sort of option at the moment, it would be a good idea to pay a fee for a ferry pilot to move your ship for you.
That is what I and others would like to see.
.
What I have done previously, was once I had found a decent group of systems to base my self within and had the funds, I bought a cheap Sidewinder, sold the guns etc to reduce weight and let it jump further in one jump.
Used that to travel back to where I had left my ship, Swapped to my good ship and sold the ferry Sidey, then travelled back to my preferred Systems with my good ship.
.
Be aware of the jump distances involved when doing this as depending on ship range etc, you may need to sell guns to reduce weight or take alternate routes to make the trips.

Del is absolutely correct. You'll want to use a cheap unloaded sidewinder, be sure to sell the shields as well as that's a big weight item and will increase your jump range if you're going a fair distance.
