When purchasing an original game ship, I can't laod the tractor beam or scanner at ship purchase. After purchasing the ship, I can't launch into space. I get "can't launch without a radar" warning. Is there a way to fix this? Am I doing something wrong?
Highrzr, try switching to a different panel (weapons, ext. equipment) when purchasing your ship. you should be able to load the radar and tractor beam back onto the ship. I used to have that trouble, and it's expensive if you always buy a new radar (and terribly expensive if buying a new ship when you have a discovery sensor).
Play a Microsoft CD backwords, and it plays satanic messages. Play it forwards, and it does something worse - It installs Windows.
Basic radar is rather cheap, and available on literally every station and planet. So you shouldn't have any problems with that even if you forget to transfer.
You can transfer tractor and radar from same tab where nanobots and shoeld batteries reside.
