Starship does not spawn on landing pad *BUG*

[Antares]

I did not find any other thread regarding this bug, so I am making one to discuss it and hopefully find a solution.

Sometimes, after modifying a starship within the limits of the builder, it does not spawn on the landing pad. The marker appears underneath it. This happens not only in outposts landing pads but also in major cities such as New Atlantis. Bethesda please fix this bug.

Edit:
After testing for a while, I've found a workaround. For anyone experiencing this problem, you probably, like me, modified or created from scratch a starship starting from a captured ship. **THAT'S WHAT CAUSES THE BUG**.

I've built the same starship, starting from a cheap starship I purchased, and I did not get any bugs.

Make another ship your home ship, than switch back and make the 1 ship your home ship again. Should respawn I. The pad now everyone.

Ever time

I wish it was that simple. No, even if I change my home ship, as you kindly suggested, the bug persists.

I had an even worse bug once. After editing my ship in the ship builder, not only did the edited version show up, but so did the original....stacked one right on top of the other. I couldn't enter my ship because the 2nd copy was shifted slightly to the right, making it impossible to access the landing bay of either.

I fixed it by fast traveling to another location.

"It simply works", right? :D

i'm stuck in a main campaign mission where you have to escape from new atlantis using your ship but it spawns half in the ground, i cant fast travel because of the mission, and my last main save was 7 levels ago. guess i gotta jus wait for the patch

Problem is that Bethesda is not even addressing this bug. So, I do not think that a patch is in the works.

Well, I have build/modified several (4) hijacked starships so far and haven't experienced this bug yet - until now.
Innocent me captured a C Class Varuun ship in the Serpentis system and modified it with the Red Mile Ship Technician, everything fine. Then I went to Hopetech (technician right at landing bay) because I wanted Hopetech specific parts and after that my ship bug-stucked.

No matter what I do, I cannot get rid of the bug now.
So I tried to replicate this bug with another ship and I could do it one time, the next three attempts just went fine without any error, although heavily modified. Now it seems that it just bugs out very rarely but if it does, then it becomes hardlocked forever. Weird

But this should be an insurance before editing your prefered hijacked ship: Make it your homeship and let it spawn on the landing pad. If it is accessible, it won't get stucked below the map, no matter how buggy it gets, because you can at least fast travel away and come back.

Probably a bug with the ship builder not correctly updating the new looks ingame or what so ever.
So do a hard save before editing, make it your homeship so that it spawns - then edit.

This didn't work for me either. My problem was I had about 2000 mass on me and couldn't fast travel. I even bought a new ship to see if that would work. The only thing that worked was saving the game, quitting, and loading back in. Now when I came back in, my ship was below the floor of the landing pad. However, at that point, switching the home ship and then back fixed the ship back to the proper location.

I made a ship from scratch and named it the Chronos and it was a wonderful ship. Wouldn't spawn on the landing pad. Switched to the Frontier, spawned that in, switched back to the Chronos and suddenly there was no ship.

This feels silly. Why would a captured ship taken apart and built better from scratch be affected but a ship bought and paid for not be?

I have the same problem. Nothing "just works".

Have you tried to make the new ship from a regular purchased ship and not a captured one?

No. But making a new ship will not unstick my old ship. Will it?
