Falcon P class D mods can't be removed without changing it to a regular Falcon
« on: December 02, 2018, 06:56:50 AM »
The pirate modifications to the Falcon are apparently considered a D mod, as it gets removed along with the D mods. Which is frustrating if you want a Falcon P, just without the compromised hull and armor.

It depend on how you obtained the ship - immediately salvaged after a battle or from debris field. You can restore pirate cruiser and integrated hullmods will be intact.

Oh, interesting, that'll help! Which case actually works correctly?

Mine that are having the problem are ones that I bought pristine and salvaged when they were lost in battle with a station. Recovering them added D mods, and trying to restore them makes them standard Falcons.

I don't think I have tried buying one with a D mod as I always seem to be able to find pristine ones for sale.

The integrated hull mods are still there once restored, they just are no longer integrated and the ships show way over budget on points.

Bought. Salvaged ones restore to normal Falcon.

I got 7 salvaged falcon(p) ships but only 2 of them lost skin upon restore. Derelict spawns after battle and secondary salvaged ships is rare to test for sure.

Possible test case:  What if you produce them yourself?

They restore to vanilla, losing the free hull mod.
