Unable to fly ships bought from other players
Okay, so I have done several tests with other players to figure how this happens or what it might fix it - with no results.
So here's the story:
I wanted to buy a ship I cannot get right now off some other player. He loaded it onto a Behemoth, dropped it and I picked it up, docked and selected it and equipped it with weapons. Afterwards I launched. I could not steer, nor could I change the speed. It flew 20 m/s constantly. Weirdly, the speed scale was red, meaning it would fly backwards, but it went forwards. As a result, I had to /explode.
I assumed this was intentionally added by the devs so you can't buy ships off others that you can't buy yourself (for whatever reason). But then I had him sell me an EC-89 - Same problems as with the other ship. Unability to steer, nothing helped. I even logged out and relogged in, resulting in my ships to stand still, but still unable to move. Weirdly, the weapons I equipped to it were gone after my relogin, even though they showed before my logout.
Well, please fix this :)

This is the same bug Kierky described earlier today.

Well then. I did not see that, nor do I think it actually is the main problem. Let's hope the devs fix it instead.
We're removing the ability for players to jettison ships for the time being due to internal inventory management issues with addons an cargo within the jettisoned ship. The items get orphaned, which is not good.
