Unable to use all Corvus Prime ships

Jan 11, 2009 RexGarvin link
My status with Corvus Prime is Pillar of Society but I am unable to purchase all of their ships. The ships don't require any licensis. Can anyone help me with this. Thanks.

Corvus ships do require licences and faction standing.
Check VO-Wiki for detailed info.

The license requirements on the ship descriptons are blank at the Corvus Prime stations and they are blackmarket ships. What does this mean?

Even though the licenses appear blank, ships purchased at Corvus stations still require licenses. About 60% of normal, IIRC.

This is something that has been a pain in the ass for ages. Either bring back the lower license levels, or get rid of them entirely. But leaving them blank when they do exist is bullshit hiding the ball.

You just wasted hours of this kid's time, who built up POS standing for basically nothing. I'm sure that won't make him think twice about paying for the game, though.

RexGarvin: I know its wrong info in the station but yes you do need licenses. Its about 60% to 80% of the normal license level. Same goes for weapons.

Aye, Lector!

I wasted about three days getting max status when I could have been raising my license status. They need to fix the Corvus Prime ship descriptions....this sucks!!

It's not necessarily a waste, really. Some people see attaining POS status as an achievement (although I'm not one of them).

Ah, there's a major bug with the station. We're looking into it now.

The Corvus stations are supposed to have the ships available for a reduced license requirement, instead of no license requirement.
Jan 12, 2009 slime73 link
Aye, and I'm pretty sure that's what happens, however the text says you need no license. :(
Jan 12, 2009 raybondo link
Yeah.
I pushed out a fix and so it now shows the correct license requirements in some stations, and will in others as the data propagates through.

Well Done!
