So I finally got my blood dragon rep up enough to buy the blood dragon ID card. Great! Now I can buy the katana heavy fighter!
Um...no. In fact, I can't buy it with any ID. I have blood dragon, freelancer, civilian and recruit IDs in my hold right now, (I know you're only supposed to have one ID, but I was tying to figure out which one it wanted. I'll sell all but one before I leave the station) and no matter which one I equip it still will not let my buy the katana!
A) Get rid of the unused ID's right away. Have the BD ID mounted.
B) Enter the ship dealer section.
C) Select the Katana
D) Note that suddenly on the Right side of the purchase scren, you have the BD ID listed. The dealer thinks you want to have its value reimbursed against the ship purchase price. Thats why you can't finalize the purchase.
E) On the Left side of the Purchase screen, select the third tab. Then move the BD ID over, by doubleclicking it on the right side.
F) Mount the ID, by clicking on the lock icon on the BD ID.
G) Finalize your purchase.
H) You now have a Katana.
Thanks for the help. But the dealer ate my ID anyway. I had to get a new one. That happens every time. I even triple-checked to make sure the ID was in my hold and not on the right.

Its NOT supposed to be in your hold. It is to be MOUNTED.
Read the instructions above. Follow them.
You have to transfer the ID while looking at the corresponding page in the equipment-dealing phase. Otherwise it won't mount right and will stay in the right-side column.
I've had issues with transferring the ID over whilst purchasing a ship.
I always end up having to sell off, for example an unmounted countermeasure dropper or gun, before I suddenly have "space" to move the ID over. I'm sure this has happened to me nearly every time I've purchased a ship.
' Wrote:Note, that when you buy the ship, you need to, when in the equipment transfer stage, chose the internal equippment bar on the left side and transfer the ID there. It will not transfer the ID if you have different tabs open on the left side.
Did that too...still doesn't work for me. Just did it again to test it. Just a minor annoyance really... not something that will make me raeg!:P
