Capital Ships are back

Dear fellow Pilots,

good News about the usage of Capital Ships from OP, they are back again - but with a little restriction for you to bring them with working shields to life again. This have to be done for exisitng Capital Ships only. When buying a new Capital Ship all is working normal because you simply did not had a Capital Ship before.

First of all, please do not just go and buy the Capital Ship you are flying again at for example the CF Docks - because of the nature of Freelancer you will be kicked for cheating and your Character will respawn unchanged in Space after you reconnected to the server .

The way how to get a new Capital Ship, which is tested and verified by Zapp, Raven and me already, on your old Account Slot is the following :

Find a fellow Player who will store your Capital Ship Turrets . For temporary storage the turrets will need 50 Cargo Space per stored Turret . Destroyers for example will have to undock a few times, because the Cargo Space of a Destroyer is 150, so you can unmount only 3 Turrets at once.

After you unmounted and traded all your turrets to the fellow player, just go and purchase a different ship type, the Eagle from Arena for example. While you was trading your Turrets you saw a Battleship, Utility or similar Shield (depends on your Ship type). You can get rid of this Shield (it´s not usable anymore, just Ballast) in letting you kill by someone, with the unmounted Shield in your Cargohold. With your Eagle go back to the CF Docks purchase your Capital Ship again and remount the Turrets after getting them back.

As soon as you will undock your brand new Capital Ship you will see that the Capital Ships Shield is back and working .

Last but not least, thanks OP for fixing the Problems .

you can buy a new Char normaly without this procedure, good question and thanks for the hint, i will integrate it to the post.

edit: *changed*

The Trains are fine - no need to buy a new one. The CapitalShips have mounted shields (not player controlled) these shields must renewed to get a working one.
