weapon disappears: station error
After a small skirmish, I looted a couple of neutron blaster mkiii weapons. I equipped one (license reqmts being met), and went into combat again. I was killed, and selected 'yes' when asked if I wanted the same ship again. I launched and zoned to another sector, but then saw this error:
station error: don't know what that item is
Items purchase failed: not all items were purchased because not all items are available at this station.
So I figured the new weapon had gotten eaten, since I am UIT and that weapon is in red when i look at small addons purchase list because you have to be (I guess?) Itani to buy it.
So I go back to the same station (Deneb O-3), prepared to replace it, but when I checked ship config - it was still in my small port! So was everything else. So the error seems to have been issued incorrectly.
I go back to combat (the mkiii blaster working fine), die again, and this time, when I recreate my ship, and get the same error, I check again - and this time the weapon was gone.

BTW, when I said:
"I launched and zoned to another sector, but then saw this error:"
I meant that's when I noticed the error, not that's when it was issued. I'm sure it was issued upon ship recreation at the station. Sorry for any confusion.

Actually, what it means is that technically you can not purchase said weapon at the station.. but if you have it in inventory it will equip it. UIT cannot actually purchase a Neut Mk III cause it's only for Serco or Itan, depending on who wins the ctc event that week.
Hope I read that right, rather tired atm.

Yeah, for ship-buyback, there are two actions that take place. the first step is to buy the ship/items, the second step is to equip the items to the ship.
Step 1 failed for the weapons since you were unable to buy them.
Step 3 passed because it looks for one of the item in your inventory and it found one.
So, the purchase failed (just as the error says) and the equip passed. It's kinda counter-intuitive.

If you're happy, then I'm happy. I *did* in fact have one in inventory, since 2 dropped. I'll check when I login to make sure that 'extra' is gone. A valuable if somewhat expensive lesson. ;-)
