I'm afraid I don't monitor the ng's like I used to. I know this is a dumb question, but did you buy a ship before you tried to launch? Your char doesn't start with a basic ship. You have to spend some portion of your starting 50K DC to buy and equip one. After you have a ship assigned to your char (there will be a box around the ship, when you view it in the hangar), you should be able to launch. As for the trade screen. When you get the basic trade screen which show the commodities, hit "enter" before trying anything else. Then click on the right menu choice at the left top. This will bring you to the buy-sell screen. Type amounts in the space and hit "enter to buy and sell. Hope this helps. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4346 (20090818) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
