Normally you can leave a ship vacant in the game and then return to it.

There is an issue that can stop this up.

You get a different slot when you recconnect.
Connect and DONT enter the game.  Then look at the '\' list in conqoper.
You will have a new slot.  When you hit 'e' on your client to enter it
switches
you to the vacant slot.  Sometimes it doesnt want to switch over and just
tells you that you are already flying a ship in the game.  I have gotten
same
ship re-entry when this condition has occured, but I'm not really sure how
I cleared it up.

Also...you may have multiple set.  If you have the multiple flag set for
your user
it will always give you a new ship up to your multiple limit.  I've never
tested to see
if it allows a re-entry once this limit is set.
