I'm new in the EV-comunity (because I just managed to make this MAC-emulator work on my PC), and now playing this for hours. And there I've allready a problem that apparently nobody noticed before (!), at least I browsed the whole web and didn't find an answer... anyway
I've got a Corvette right now and 5 Clippers as escorts (escorts that I've overtaken by boarding them before). These ships are crap, and cowards as they won't shoot a nut to support me and battles, even worse, they stay far when it's getting serious!! And I can get rid of them! I can't get them into crossfire (for the reasons below), I can't sell them, kill them, select them or leave them behind !! And running out of money isn't a solution to! PLEASE, someone help me! Thanks
------------------
Very easy: when you tab to select the ships one after another, your escorts are automatically skipped, so press alt-tab (but you'd better actually change tab to something else since alt-tab might make your PC make unwanted things) until you have one of your escorts selected. Then contact him with (default key) Y, and you have the option to release him from servitude. Think about it for one second before doing that, then click. He should tell you something like "I'll buy you a synthale next time we meet!", end the communication, and you'll see it is no longer one of your escorts.
The way your escorts behave depends on their inherent AI: if it is fundamentally a freighter, its cargo will add to yours but they won't fight for you nor help you capture other ships. On the other hand, warships won't carry cargo even if they can but will defend you and their crew will help you capture ships (a tenth of the crew of all your warship non-mission-assigned escorts will be added to your crew for the purpose of the ship capture formula).
One last thing: now that Nova has been released on PCs and an EV TC is out you do no longer need an emulator (you'll need to register Nova for a mere 30$, but it's worth it since not only you have Nova, but the EV and EVO TCs are free with it)

Yep, toujours ravi d'en rencontrer, c'est pour cela que je mets de toute évidence que je suis Français ici.
A part cela, il se trouve que c'est quelque chose que je sais, donc j'ai juste pris le temps de te répondre. Bon séjour dans ces forums!
(Nah, you won't know what we are talking about... just kidding: I just greeted him and wished him good stay on these boards).
