I've tried to strike a balance between allowing a system that is convenient for players to off-load ships that they no longer wish to be burdened with and keeping some degree of role-play in the role-play forums.
Ship sales conducted in the Stock Exchange have to be done in role-play - it is the role-play part of the Forum. If it is easier to make a quick sale in Flood people can try doing it there...but Flood has a tendency to attract less serious posters too.
That doesn't mean you are freed from the other requirements regarding characters ID's and ship restrictions. The day any ship sale counts towards "posted bio/story" for the tech chart is the day I eat my hat. So, by all means, sell your weirdly tagged Order GB - it will still have to follow the rules in game. And feel free to post in a ship sale demanding the vessel be transferred within the ranks of the organisation.
Worst case scenario, we could make the ship buy threads to require admin approval first.
