Hello!

I suppose this is probably a newbish question with a fairly obvious solution but I can't seem to find it.

I'm currently inside a Starport with some of CPs to spare and I'm trying to spawn a couple CP ships but I don't even get the option to try. When I go to the Exchange CPs page I get the message.

'To access the ships exchange, you must be inside a powered Landing Pad or a Starport.'

Even though I already am inside a Starport, and that's the end of it.
Is there some other prerequisite I'm forgetting, or is this a known issue, or is the Galaxy just being mean to me?

Thank you for your time.

Is the starport powered?

If you are at an actual Starport (4x8 facility on a planet with a lot of bright blue coloring) it should be powered and spawning cp ships should work.
One caveat: if you docked your current ship inside the Starport docking bay, you must exit your ship (so you are standing in the docking bay) to use CP ship market.
The ships you spawn will be created in the most north westerly grid outside the Starport grounds but still adjacent to it.

If at landing pad it must be powered and you must enter it on foot as well (not be parked there in your ship). If there is a flashing (blue?) at the landing pad it is NOT powered, but if no flashing light it should be powered.

I buy a lot of CP ships. DM if you like with questions.

No idea what was wrong, but I changed to a different Starport on other planet in the same system and it workes without problem.

As far as I know both Starports were powered.

Myyyyyysteries of the Gaaaaalaxyyyy...

Glad it worked out. Happy flying!
