When we buy another ship in game, do we trade our old one in if we want to?Also, on the old ships that might be traded in by other players, will we be able to buy used ships, or are they taken down to their elements and sold as scrap metal?asked by Napoleon XXIV

Yeah, I think when you buy another ship in game, you will have the option to trade it in or keep your current ship, so it would be up to you. I would say that in general, it depends on the kind of ships, but it's always good probably to have, if you can, store it and have more than one ship. Because the ships are very role specific, so if you want to be trading, that's a very different ship than you will need to be flying than if you want to be a mercenary and just doing dogfighting. Because there isn't really a ship that's the jack of all trades that does everything.Yes, there are some ships that you can take cargo and dogfight on, but if you want to really haul cargo, then you'd probably want to be flying things like the Freelancer or the Starfarer, and obviously they aren't necessarily the best dogfighting ships out there. But if you want to trade it in, say you were upgrading to a bigger cargo ship or a better dogfighter, then yeah, the game will allow you to trade it in just like you would normally now if you were getting a car.And we are going to have second hand ships that will probably be in the universe, in our Persistent Universe, on some of the planets, we already have the equivalent of a used car dealership in some places, and that would be a place to get ships that would be second hand, used, worn down a bit, maybe not quite as pristine or efficient as what you'd buy on a new show room floor, in game just like in the real world.And I would assume that some that get traded in get put down to scrap metal because there's only gonna be so much inventory we want to keep out in the persistent universe.
