I appear to have trapped myself.

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).

Har hardy har. I'll see YOU in space. with my train. with no weapons....

"Dammit, stand still so I can ram you!" hehe.

Wyr.

Thanks Lucy. I kept perservering and finally managed to get back to a safe haven in Sirius so all is well.
I might even consider finding a use for the Train

Wyr.

Thanks, it certainly got the adrenaline pumping anyway

Me? Oh, no, no, no - it's all a misunderstanding. I'd never do anything illegal. I was more than happy to watch the Police chase you all over the system while I very quietly went about my business like an honest law-abiding citizen.

Since I lost so many credits in the Sol 'Incident' I decided to set up a little cargo delivery service trading in... scrap metal and..er.. water. Yes, that's it, water, everyone needs to keep hydrated.

Yup, honest, up-right, trustworthy trader, that's me; no need to scan the hold officer...
