Hey all -
I'm a registered user, been playing a few weeks. I've deliberately avoided the mission strings, just flying around Fed space trading, killing pirates, rebels, Aurorans -- staying on Fed good side. Maybe have killed some Asso. or others briefly (I wasn't watching the lower right in the display, so killed a few Pirate Carriers without realizing they weren't actually pirates...). The problem is now I can't buy ANY upgrades at ANY world. I can buy new ships, escorts, and trade goods, but no weapons, engines, ammo, even a fricking map. Anybody know why?
