Why are our Distress Beacons sellable?!

So, in my rush to empty out my inventory, I accidentally "sold" my Nimbus Pirates Distress Beacon. And I didn't realize this until I restarted the game, thus gone for good. Now, frankly, I've learned not to fall back on it, using my skills more than the pirates, but I have to ask:

why is that item sellable in the first place? Even if it doesn't pay anything out!

    Um... I'm pretty sure you can get another one next time FE replay comes around. I could be wrong though.

    You can get it by replaying the mission.

    Oh, I know that. But, it's the hassle of the thing. I gotta run across Nimbus to get it and I don't wanna run across Nimbus to get it!

    It's discardable because it's an inventory item... all inventory items are discardable. Given the number of clicks it actually takes to discard something, which annoys people over the older system. I would suggest trying to at least pay a small amount of attention whiile doing it. And preferrably not doing it while drunk.

    As such, at this point, run the mission again. Or do without.

    Because some people might not want to be stuck with it for all eternity.

    Not all inventory items show up in the replicators sell-tab: lockboxes don't (you have to right-click and discard in your inventory) but the pirate call does (with a value of 0 EC).

    Slow your role, take time and actually LOOK at what you are selling.

    So if you sell off inventory and then have a change of heart later, you can only buy it back on that particular gaming session?

    Not even that long. Replicator and NPCs will keep your sold items available only until you change map, e.g. beam up to space/ship or leave the system.

    Hmm.

    I've actually never used the "sell" tab in my life - I always just do the ol' right-click, discard, which inserts a couple of steps into the process, but also ensures I won't do something stupid.

    But I'm inclined to agree that items which have a Value of 0 EC probably shouldn't appear under the "sell" tab. It's simply not logical.
    You're right. The work here is very important.
