Not Purchasable

"Not Purchasable" usually refers to one of several kinds of items in the game:

Unavailable Items

Items that are unavailable - e.g. items that are included in the data files, but simply are not available in the (unmodified) game, but are still present in the game files, so can be modded/hacked/scripted in.

Examples include the Tri-Beam Cannon or the Mobile Repair Ship.

Unpurchasable Items

These are items that are available in the game, but may not be bought. Prominent examples include:

• Many Missiles (e.g. the Remote Guided Warhead).
• Many Ships (e.g. the Aran).
• Many Weapons (e.g. the Repair Laser).
• Several Wares (e.g. the Jump Beacon).

Many ships listed as unpurchasable may be boarded
