Engine swapping

Jul 07, 2004 Phaserlight link
Not sure if this is a "bug" proper or just a soon-to-be gone feature, but I can still swap engines between ships. In other words: I can take the heavy engine out of a hornet mk IV and equip it in an EC-88, or any other ship I choose. Since the only difference between many ship models is the engine they come with, I assume I'm not supposed to be able to do this.

I thought you were just supposed to be able to do it, but i see your point.

Yeah, you're not supposed to be able to. The devs said they're going to take that "feature" out soon. Enjoy it while it lasts.

=D

Yes, enjoy it while it lasts. It's already gone for the next version. Although I can forsee "missions" consisting of mechanics souping up or swapping your engines for a fee.

Dunno... a dream? Or maybe John gave it to him at lunch one day.
