Lost my Argon Police License

Post by JJRSC » Wed, 12. Feb 14, 01:03

I think I got scanned while carrying System Overide software in my M5... something stupid like that. I have since ejected said software; I still have Hero of the Federation rep... is there a way I can get the license back? Have tried buying another one but it just disappears.

It's probably under the seat. Mine got stuck in a dried up soda spill.

Is one of your traders being caught carrying illegal products, or are you producing some in Argon space?

You ejected, and left, a piece of 'software' worth over half a million credits just to buy a license for 7500 credits? You know how long it would take to make over half a million bounty credits, which I presume is the point of the license? :o
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

I'm pretty sure I lost the license b/c I was snagged carrying system override software... I was done with the software, I no longer need it; I had forgotten it was even aboard my M5 (which I hadn't flown in a while.) When I buy another police license, it just disappears as soon as I leave the station. I would like to get another Argon Police license. Does anyone know of a way to get myself reinstated so that I may buy another police license? If not, it's not a biggie, but I would like to get another one if possible.

If you think this is some type of bug or glitch, please let me know that as well. Thank you.

If you are buying the license in the same M5, try changing ships and buying it. Maybe even in a different sector. Also make sure you don't have any other illegal items on board.

It is looking like a bug for the license to disappear though.

TTD, you guessed it. One of my STs was trafficking Space Fuel. Put a stop to that and was able to buy a new license... and keep it this time.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. :)

Keep an eye on the traders. Sometimes they like to take risks without asking.

Are you transporting it to Argon space to sell? If so, why?

Do you have your local traders picking it up and taking it to race owned space to be sold?

If neither of those are true, whats your point?

my traders are taking it out to sell,

and I sometimes have it in my cargo hold.

i guess it's just luck that I haven't lost my license yet?

why do I have it in my cargo hold?

well .. sometimes ships get blown up and drop it, so I pick it up and stick it back in my complex for resale.

or the plots want it which they do sometimes.

I've been lucky I guess.

I have yet to lose the police license due to a ship in my fleet carrying booze or weed.

As for the CAG traders, I sometimes see them carrying it to sell.

I think they are CAG.. too many acronyms.

Thing with fuel & weed is, you don't actually need to use traders to sell those as NPC ships will come to you and buy them. In TC I set up booze & weed complexes in every pirate sector that had the asteroids to support them and I had no shortage of customers, the fabs were sold out the majority of the time.

If you're flying a fast ship it likely has something to do with it- you only get in trouble if a customs ship gets close enough to scan you. As I spent a lot of time in my Springblossom, getting scanned didn't happen very often :lol:

I don't tell my CAG guys to sell it, they just sometimes do all by themselves.

Yes I just run them on default settings and sometimes they go out and sell booze and weed.
