Hired help always accepts offers?

[nihilix]

I've had them refuse something... I think...

what you need to do is offer something they don't have one of so that they don't throw out the old one, and then take it back if you want.

so not a better shield if they already have a shield. that crappy shield can be traded on the klak planet for something good.

nebula detector, plow, either of the radars... those are good.
