Eye of the Storm broken

[Matchstick]

I went through the Eye of the Storm quest and didn't like a choice I made so I started over. Problem is I cannot dock with the Legacy. I've tried uninstall/reinstall, verify integrity and changing my ship. Still no luck. Even after the most recent patch I can't dock with The Legacy so I can't finish the quest.

Anyone else have any suggestions? Or am I waiting on a patch?

That entire quest is super buggy. Best course of action is to load a save from before you traveled to the Legacy or from before you started the quest and try it from there. Also, word of warning, make a lot of saves as you go through the ship and be sure to listen to all of the audio logs of the crimson fleet guy on the ship to the very end or else you will get stuck on downloading the credits.

Edit: also Bethesda games' saves usually don't get fixed by uninstall/reinstall and verify integrity, the issue with this stuff is usually a bad trigger for a quest or a save file not properly saving a quest flag. That is why making a lot of saves is helpful when playing Bethesda saves because a lot of bugs like this are overcome by loading a save that isn't messed up.

Problem is I've moved on and I'm now 40+ hours past that original save when I attempted the quest the first time.

Well unfortunately I doubt there is any known trick to fix this issue. As I see it you have 5 options: keep playing and abandon the questline, load a save from before and abandon 40 hours of gameplay, try to dock with the legacy after each future patch, try again in a NG+, or use console commands to cheat.

I do also recommend putting an official bug report on the Starfield bug reporting website from Bethesda: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/home/product/1218/category/8

Hopefully the people there can give you a clue how to fix the issue, or doing so will at least let the developers know about the bug so they can patch it in the future.

Edit: found a bug report for this already on the bethesda website: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/62503

Their advice: load an earlier save or try one of the things suggested in this article: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/61353
