does anyone know how to exchange gear between your own characters? I started out with an engineering character but i decided to try a tactical character. i got some gear that i know my Captain engineer will never use, how can i give it to my new tactical character?

    Items that have not been bound may be sent via in-game mail (must use a mail console on both ends of the transfer).

    I've had problems mailing items across my characters. I've not tried it in at least two weeks, but when I did try it, most of the time the send process would just lag out and stop. I think I got one item to actually go through in my attempts.

    I'd love to have a cross character reserve space in the banks. Like 1-5 slots where I could transfer an item across any of my characters.

    Mailing between characters seems to be working better now. Give it another try.

    I've had trouble actually trying to mail gear (weapons., shields, etc) between characters - the mail slots just won't accept them in my case (couldn't drag 'n drop 'em). It worked with things like hypos and food, but not with ship gear - I tried with white gear.

    Will try again - maybe it was just that night.

    This is a problem caused by heavy bandwidth usage of the in-game mail system... (How man Gold Spammer messages have you received lately...) Currently, the best solution right now is to try during off-peak hours to send your attachments...

    Part of the problem may be that the items are bound. I've also had some issues with Server lag during peak hours... (Wait and make sure the click has picked up the item before dragging to the Mail attachment slot). Then again, doing this during off-peak hours is the current short term solution...

    If you can't even drag and drop, it's probably because it is bound to your character.

    Lag shouldn't prevent you from drag/drop. Lag will make you time out when you try to send it.

    When ever I mail something with attachments, it almost always lags out the first time. I resend and it always goes the second try for me.
