Title: Ian, son of Gildavinor, reporting for duty!
Post by: ijonchrist on July 22, 2018, 05:21:27 PM
How's it going? I'm a long-time sci-fi fan and gamer. I'm not entirely sure yet how much time I can dedicate here, as I'm a full-time student at the moment as well as a family man. I started my SEA training today and got through about ten objectives before other commitments called.

I look forward to learning the ways of AG and bringing my own skills to an Empire soon!

Someone better suited already welcomed you to AG :-)

SPQNR will welcome you if/when you'd like (it's a nepotism thing  :))

Cheers for that! I'll be in touch as soon as I finish up with the SEA!

Ian

the Empire also welcomes you to the game


edit for the following announcement:


7.   A Travelers Aid Society warning remains in effect in the Feenamint Cluster.  The DidiMau rebels now claim control over the planetary systems ‘Crawfilk’, “Bweetwe”, ‘Santree’, and Kliptrek’.  The humanitarian ship ‘Softtouch’ has been destroyed running the Frundtraab blockade.   The Reverend St. Jinnistract decries the loss of his ship ‘Softtouch’ as inhumane.  “We were only trying to feed the innocent,” he said.  A. Seregiletti has been awarded the ‘Glorious Citizens Cross’ and states that the ship ‘Hope’ reports the blockade is making it hard for them to resupply.  In sports, Gandee and Zuzuzuflo go to a ‘sudden death final’ next week each with a 3/3 record in the playoffs.

I've successfully completed the SEA training. One question though... is it possible to transfer modules from one of my ships to the other? I'd like to take some modules from the MkIII and send them to the MkIV before I have the prior stripped and sold for parts.

Regards,
Ian

Easiest way is empty the mod of any cargo or personnel, stow in cargo, and transfer using the cargo tab (personnel transfer using the modules > installed tab).  

To get the last storage mod off the ship, you'd need to have both ships at a Station you own, deploy the mod to the Station, and Scoop it to the new ship.  Problem then is getting the stripped ship back to Earth (you can't deploy Stations at earth).  You'd need a Hangar for that.  But I don't think it's worth the hassle for the last low level mod, even when you're starting out.  Earth will buy from you at a loss vs purchase price (think you get 75% ?).

Why would you want ti strip and sell a ship? I'm sure you'll find good use for two, three, or even twenty ships.  :))
