Can't get rid of ship components through selling or recycling.

I'm pretty sure this is a technical issue so I'll post it here. I've upgraded the phasers of my ships and the torpedoes and one of the deflectors. So the old standard ones go into inventory. But now I can't get rid of them for some reason. I can't recycle them in the replicator because they don't appear on my recycle list, and when I go to the component dealers in the shipyard, they don't appear in the list of things i can sell either. HELP! They're dead weight and they take up five slots that would otherwise have been usefully free!

    Chances are your client was desynced from the server when they were deleted/sold/changed. This means that they are registered on your client, but not registered by the server. Try waiting for the next server restart, or stay logged out of your account for 30 mins - 1hr, to see if it resyncs itself. (Note: this means staying logged out of the forums too, so the server can perform a soft bump of your account.)

    Thanks for that. I'll give it a try. But the thing is that it works for other components and objects, just those standard components that come with the ships when you buy them. I'll post a reply here whether it works or not.

    It may or it may not work. If im totally honest tho, it sounds liek the old bug is back from release. If thats the case, you will have to petition a GM to remove the items.

    Well that's inconvenient to say the least. How do I do that?

    I appreciate your advice, by the way.I've been playing for a while but there's always something I don't know.

    It´s not a bug, some ships have standard equipment that can´t be sold to prevent abuse by claiming certain ships from the c-store over and over again. Just right-click on the components in your inventory and choose discard. ;)

    BINGO! Thanks for that advice. I didn't know you could press right click on those items. Silly me. I feel stupid now. Thanks again guys. It's great to know that people are willing to help newbies like me. Appreciate it.
