[Bug] The matter of Hart

[Xzelot]

I found another bug, though not game breaking as the first one I found.

In the mission "The matter of Hart", after you go and rescue the lady. You need to go to another ship and called them stop so that we can get the cord. for another point of the quest.

The bug I found is, the said ship turn hostile the moment it got hail, which I'm sure it isn't the script, since blow it up give my companions stink eyes, and disable the engine+board the ship count as Piracy. I managed to pass somehow by put the companion in below deck (he was locked and can't dismissed until quest over. He still kill some of security, but since it isn't captain, it still not count.) and run to cockpit, grab the cord. from captain's storage and run back, all while shower in bullets, return to my ship and grav jump to another system.

Good thing the quest still can go on properly. If not, it's going to bug me as heck.

Another point taken from you, Bug-thesda.

appreciate knowing a work around for this broken quest

Ok, Now I got update for this quest problem: Apparently, The ship suppose to be hostile, and blown it out of space IS the script. So, the bug is only that the ship don't change tag to hostile. I found this myself since I played the new save and pass through this quest again.

It do make sense since this ship also work with the syndicate, so . . . yeah.

if you don't want Sam to get mad at you, just target the engines and then board the ship. You can kill normal goons in whatever way, but killing the captain again gets Sam mad, but non-lethal take-down is fine. Also, you can just force-equip Sam with a Novablast gun, so he won't kill anyone. Stun mines are insanely good in these tight corridors, as well. Just be ready to bail out the moment you undock from that ship, since it will fire back at you again.

Way ahead of you my friend. I state in my first post that I did do the boarding and run n' grab the cord. before return and grav jump away. My first save pass that way.

Extra info for you though, that even you use the EM Weapon with captain, he still die and it still count as piracy success. I try that first time.

I got around it by stripping naked pulling out a suppressed gun and leaving Sam in the boarding area. I then sneak to the bottom front of the ship. I then drew everyone on the ship to that area and killed them. Keep track of Sam with Sense and stuff 2 if he moves then you have to reload so lots of save scumming. I was able to kill the captain without Sam knowing and loot the ship. Was able to even steal it with no issues. No one got mad or even a bounty.

I spent way to much time to do it and also could have had a different bug because the captain did not rag doll might be just lucky? But being Sam never moved or commented on using powers that may work if the captain did rag doll.

I have a slightly different bug still concerning the ship, the message that let's you move forward isn't showing in the ship's cargo hold, please help

[Xzelot]

Did you board the ship or blown it to smithereens? I found the needed cord. in ship cargo hold on both pass though. If you do either, try load the save and do another way (i.e. if you blown it to hell last time, try board the ship this time.)

If all is fail, you can try cheat it by script them (might find that code somewhere) and get save marked for cheat, or just finish that universe with Sam as (force) permanent companion.
