Hint: Do the beacon quest early

So one of the quests requires a specific hull.. for me this will be a downgraded.

I happily downgrade my hull but I loose my 8 hardpoints.. and a favoured item of mine is relying on this.

So I hoped it would just shuffle itself into a vacant cargo bay.. but no its gone! I was probably paid a fair price for it but thats beside the point.

Ok, Im off to blow myself up so I can reload my last save before I downgraded and see if this beacon wanted any class hull above the one specified.

If not then I manually shift that favoured item with the right mouse-click into my cargo bay.. _then_ I downgrade.

Just a hint on keeping your Rig without losing too much.....Save two or more saves with your original ship that you like (8 Hardpoints) then use one of your saves to downgrade to the specific ship the beacon says to activate next beacon, after you activate the next beacon with your downgraded ship takes a screen shot using the PrtScn key and use paint to save image of next beacon clue or write it down. Then go back to one of your original saves and move on to the next beacon with the needed item to activate the next beacon.....this worked well for me

Interesting.. I was thinking of that but somehow (foolishly) through it might save my progress in my profile so felt I had to do it in sequence.

Considering its clues and specific items, not logging if you have visited the last beacon or not, this makes sense.

Its a wonderful quest so far.. I like hide-and-seek quests that currently dont reply on my being skilled at blasting henimees.
