Incentive fer traders to sell KOS/Bad Standings people ships they cannot get otherwise

Yep, I hope they do this. Would be very cool.

+1...cool suggestion...

+1 also, this is needed to discard unwanted ships from your capship's cargo hold.

+1, but of course fix the bugs with it too so that the picked up ships actually work (last I heard they lacked engines when picked up from space).

+1.

It sounded like there was a lot of work with the recent persistent-capship update that will benefit this very thing. It's just a matter of ironing out the current bugs in the capship implementation before they can focus on extending it to ships. The main problem plaguing this in the past was that equipped addons were being orphaned from their parent ship when the ship was jettisoned. This ended up creating ships that no longer had engines or that lost any other previously equipped addons. Now that capships are persistent, the capship's owner is being transferred to the sector, along with all attached addons. So it's just a matter of time now.

Put the ship through the trash compactor first, then what is dropped is scrap metal :)

I think it would be an incentive for me to move ships like Greyhounds if I could fit two in an XC. Otherwise, I'm going to just fly it where I want it.

If players could haul two at a time, we'd see more of ship hauling. And if the OP's idea is implemented, both Trade and Piracy would benefit.
