[X3AP] Weaponless Discoverer's at start

[Alareth]

I'm running X3AP vanilla with the bonus pack via Steam and I've noticed that any of the Argon starts where you are given a Discoverer (Anonymous Argon, Humble Merchant) it comes unarmed.

I did file verification in Steam to see if it was the result of a corrupt file and it found one and replaced it, but I'm still getting weaponless Discoverers when starting new games.

Well-known and not really a bug. For example, both Humble Merchant starting ships come to you unarmed. The Tutorial is optional and you need not do it straight away and so you can come back to do it when you have some weapons if you wish.

I could have sworn that when I first got the game a couple years ago I had weapons when I started as a Humble Merchant.

Nope, that is an X3TC start carried over. Thread.
