Okay, this is slightly embarrassing.
Just for the sake of curiousity I decided to take a peek at the Scouser Train to see just how it handled. so I traded in my nice VHF and bought the Scouser - which of course has no weapons or defensive potential.
I then launched into space to find myself under attack from a DK gunship and rapidly died.
No problem, I thought, I'm playing SP, I'll just reload and get on with my VHF.
Except.... I wasn't playing SP, I'd loaded into MP. Ah.
Okay, I thought, I'll trade the train for a fighter, any fighter, and high-tail it outta here. Except Sol only sells Trains and the only one of those I can afford is the Scouser. and of course I lost all of my stashed weaponry when I died anyway.
So now I'm trapped on Sol and I can't get away.
Is there any way out of this without starting a new character?
Wyr. (Feeling very foolish).
