Crimson Fleet questline killing bug

[WynnerX]

Ok. So while working up thru the questline for the Crimson Fleet, and rather enjoying myself, my actions were counter to what UCSysDef would otherwise have liked. SO they arrested (attempted) me. I went both peacefully and, when that didn't work, blew my way out of UC Vigilance, and its surrounding space, in 2 different saves trying to fix the next issue.

It was the start of the next CF mission, called Into the Darkness. I was required to report to the key to speak with the 2nd in command of the entire fleet themselves in order to kick the whole thing rollin. When I arrived to the moon the key was orbiting, however, it was over 25,000 KM away. In case you, dear reader, weren't aware, 25k KM is a bit far to initiate a standard docking procedure, and its impossible to simply fly to because space, if you hadn't heard, is kinda big....

The bug started on 5 Sept. Haven't been able to find a fix. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as Bethesda doesn't really seem to care to try to solve their bugs once their games release for the first year or so. Thanks!

Did you try to gravjump out of there, and then comeback? You could also try to load previous save, before this issue, or as a radical measure you could use the console command "player.movetoqt" to move to the quest location

I have encountered a similar bug, albeit on SysDef side. After I killed every living soul on the Key, my objective is to board the YC Vigilant..... but it's 12km away.... still no fix for me

12 km is just few minutes of flight. You just press the exact place you want to be and warp there… ffs. I did this quest 3-4 times already with no problems

I resolved just reloading the save before the fight, After 3 attempt when I killed the last ship didnt bug.

Also, I read someone just saved and reloaded with the bug and the last ship appeared.

Apologies, I meant 12,000km away

I’ve seen such errors but you just open galaxy map and chose the icon of the ship again. You just spawned near a planet, not near the ship. There are also 3 autosave slots, hope you figured it out already )

My latest problem was on a certain fun quest on planet Charybdis III. NPC getting randomly violent after completing a questline. Sleeping helps. Beth games for sure have some bugs here and there, but nothing really critical so far.

I'm aware of those, and I've gone through the whole reload save, restart game, sleep, jump in jump out etc. I don't encounter 1 issue and instantly give up.

Starfield has been great for a lack of bugs, and most I've overcome with either reloads or restarts, however some require more fine tuned approaches such as the crew assignment bug after you get the UC Prison Ship.
