Im homed in sec 4 and was flying in a vulture
I died in the vulture and tried to buy it back
well it seems that you cant buy Vultures in sec 4 anymore, did the devs take it as their new god ship? ;P

Vultures have been temporarily recalled due to a manufacturer defect that would cause the battery to leak and burn its occupants during high g-force maneuvers. Fortunately this problem was isolated and not widespread, so if you have one of the following serial numbers for your Vulture, please call 1-800-VULTURE.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. The sector 4 Vulture Manufacturing Plant will resume operations shortly after the problem is sorted out. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Same thing in s10 with about any ship, had to manually buy it. :( It only happened AFTER I tried to buyback a Valk there and failed. Once it failed, I manually bought a vult and flew around, died, tried to buyback and got the "Cannot Buy Ship" error.
