I'm trying to buy a freighter called Dromedary. I have a miner ID which allows me to pilot freighters. Yet when I try to purchase the Dromedary, I would transfer my Miner ID over, but the game wont let me purchase it because it says i dont have the right ID.
If i remember correctly, last time this happened, I was able to purchase a ship by not transfering the ID, but then I ended up losing my ID for that ship after purchase. I would try to do this and not transfer my ID this time, but if it works i would lose the only miner ID i have.
Maybe we need 2 IDs to purchase ships?? Im totally confused here... as if you couldnt tell already.
Hmm it would be pretty stupid to transfer and not try to equip the ID, but being a forgetful person I am... I just went back into the game and transfer + mount the miner ID ... not once but 3 times... all with no success.
Im guessing the miner ID is not enough for Dromedary?
Try it with a civilian/recruit ID, then mount your Miner ID after you buy the ship (Transfer both IDs over during ship purchase) then sell the extra one afterwords.
Use a Recruit ID to buy the ship, it should work for almost every ship. There might be a bug with the Miner ID, so report it to Cannon so he can fix it.
