Keeping my tractor beam

[matthew954]

Hi all, just yesterday I reinstalled Freelancer. And since I'm using the evaluation copy of Windows 7 (build 7100), I decided to give Discovery another shot. Now with using 7 I can connect to the Discovery servers.

Anywho, I set up a new character and started in the Pennsylvania System. I traded my Starflier for a Defender. I lost my tractor beam system with my Starflier. The Dealer wouldn't let me keep it. So I stopped at just about every port of call trying to find a new one and none of them had one. Well for the most part it doesn't really matter because I forgot to save my game before I shut it down to come to the forums. But before I go buying a new ship, how do i keep the tractor beam unit?
