Not sure if Patch 1.3 enabled this (must have) but now I can jump OTAS purchased TS's from OTAS HQ to Light of Heart without any navigation software. When you buy the Jump Drive for them they have the 'Jump to Sector' command now. Still need E-Cells but hey :).

I wouldnt mind having to move sectors to upgrade my nw 60 fighters for a carrier if there were a way of upgrading (not trading, just if I have say 180 shields in a TS or the carrier passing on 3 per fighter) multiple ships simultaneously. Bah!

unfortunately not. Player EDs cannot sell upgrades (speed etc) or equipment (scanners etc), and any wares it has are not linked to the sector shipyard. However it will help in the sense that you can store shields and weapons in it for new ships.

I always felt that you should be able to build an Equipment Manufacturing Plant so that you could supply both your own ships and that of any passing trader etc. After all, you can manufacture shields and all kinds of gunnery and missiles etc.
Maybe there is a mod ?, but I've not seen it.

Drat! But thanks for the confirm. Well, it's not the end of the world-- I end up sending pretty much everything bought from OTAS up to Company Pride anyway.

I think it'd be nifty to have jumpdrives be buildable in a factory, as in a Goner-temple or shipyard sized special station. Once the number of jumpdrives you can add to your ships is limited by the production of these, so you need to keep the AI fabs stocked and working, or setup your own jumpdrive fab, if you want to have jumpdrives available for your ships to use...
Do you remember Shalebridge Cradle?
