Bug in Groundpounder quest

I heard that many people have a bug in this quest, at the stage when you need to destroy ships. I didn’t have any problems with this, the ships appeared in orbit (though they were unarmed and just crashed into me until I destroyed them), but at the end of the quest “Defeat the Space Invasion” a bug appeared:

When defending an outpost, after destroying the spacers, a ship lands, but nothing further happens. Spacers do not leave the ship, making it impossible to further complete the quest.

Are they just standing around in the landing bay of the ship? Or do they not appear at all?

I found that if I killed them BEFORE they left the landing bay, the ship would never lift off, and the next ship wouldn't show up..

There is actually a mod to fix that. https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/5668

It's sad that Bethesda, in its repertoire, doesn't bother to work and fix its games.
The second patch with two fixes has been in beta for more than a week. This is some kind of shame.

Well, no point rushing into anything, right? :D

Take a look at beths history though. Going back as far as Morrowind, there were bugs that beth never bothered to fix.... even game-breaking bugs, that modders finally fixed....

That's it, that's what I'm talking about. The funny thing here is that there are practically no people left who developed Morrowind, but Bethesda’s tradition of giving a damn about their games in terms of correcting errors has not gone away.
And if Morrowind and Oblivion can still be understood, then Skyrim, which has been re-released several times, is generally in trouble. Not a single patch that corrects errors in quests in any edition.

And I’m sure that now Beshesda’s priority is to make modding tools to make it easier for players to clean up the developers’ ♥♥♥♥. Meanwhile, the developers will start creating paid DLС.
Bethesda looks like the crappiest company possible against the backdrop of Larian and CDPR.

Yeah, I was always rather curious about that.... The essentially re-wrote the game, from 32 bit, to 64 bit, but didn't fix ANY bugs?????? Really?????? WTF??
