    • A Quantumire Problem

      Now, as I started the plug again, I decided to buy a War Cruiser, but now I want to try some other ships. How do I get rid of the Cruiser (without losing the pilot, and I forgot to back up)?

      I have: MAC OS 9.1
      EV 1.0.5
      The Quantumire Trilogy v.1.0.4

      Thanks for any help 🙂

      I don't know much about the plug in question, but one possible solution, assuming that you have enough money, is to buy an escape pod & auto eject and either get yourself killed or auto-destruct. Afterwards, i believe that you start in a shuttle (or the default ship) with your cash. Maybe this will help.

      Thank you for your time,

      P.S. This is assuming that you can't buy another ship once you are in your current one.

      Well, you found the one major bug in QT 1.04. It is impossible, unfortunately, to buy another ship once in a War Cruiser. Slider's suggestion is probably the only way to get out of a War Cruiser.

      Yeah, It says my trade-in is -<lots o' credits>

      Hmmm.... Oh well, I'll just prepare to eject by selling my 13 Fighters and Peanut Spoons and whatever...I'll have to conquer the Tarkyls once more :frown: , but I'll still have my 100.33M credits 😄

      Thanks for the help! Somehow I didn't figure the eject-stuff out.

      When I played Quantumire a while ago, I could sell the WarCruiser when it was in stock condition. After I had upgraded it, I could no longer sell it-- the tradein value went negative. I never had any reason to sell it anyway.

      I suspect that if you sell all of the outfits off the ship, then check the tradein value (press P, click extras. This makes EV recompute the tradein value of your ship), then try to sell it, you will be allowed to sell.

      If you dont care about cash, just capture some other ship, keep the Warcruiser as escort.

      Thanks magicneer!

      I'm gonna do just that, after selling the extra stuff...
