WTF, Can Someone Steal Your Ship?!

[butcherbrouillette]

So I've been working on a wrecked ship for hours by mining and investing in parts, etc. and of course it's been fun, but also a total time-suck. I just came back to its crash site to continue work on it and IT'S GONE! The ship was mine, so I don't understand how someone could have taken off with it. Is this a glitch? If so, is there anything I can do? I restarted the game several times, every time to come back to a literal shadow of my 10 million dollar would-be masterpiece :'(

Did u try to summon it?

Ouch! That must hurt! :-\

I tried summoning it, the ship does not exist anymore. I could summon it before.
I also tried starting from a save where it did exist, and it still does not appear. So weird.

By the way, I recorded in the beginning what I needed to fix the ship up. I was about 95% of the way done, all I needed was a couple Technology Modules & 30 more pugneum.

2400 Paraffinium
100 Pugneum
50 Tritium
3 Microprocessors
270 Gold
2863 Chromatic Metal (this breaks my heart the most)
1300 Magnetised Ferrite
11 Technology Modules
2 Di-Hydrogen Jelly
43 Sodium Nitrate
100 Pure Ferrite
2 Metal Plating

Yep, definitely hurts.

no one can steal your ship and never ever fix it
Its simply not worth the effort - just fix enough so u can fly it to the nearest starport and swap it for a fully repaired ship

[Jarrod]

No one's able to "steal" your ship, since no one can just join your game whenever they want, without you knowing. It probably just despawned.

[Dwoopy]

did u claim it before repairing? if yes then summoning it would work. I would be at another crashed ship atm that i don't need. If you wanna join me and get it, feel free to add me and do so. Its a C-Shuttle with 20+5 Slots ;D

Well, fixing can be worth it - if your find is the absolut non-plus-ultra in all aspects (so it would be really really hard to find a ship that's equal or better to swap with).

Might be a bug. I know of one other person who had this happen to them.

New player here, found my first crashed ship (exciting!) was wondering if it was worth the effort seeing how busted up it was...

Seemed the only option was to "trade-in" my working ship for the crashed one, can that be right?

Maybe best to avoid for now.

If you claimed it, fly to your freighter, and reload the manual save there. It should appear in the hangar.

[Kekskonsument]

@ Bandy If it's significantly better than your current ship and if you can fix the 2 technologies to fly this thing, then get it. It's more worth than your old ship, thus you can get a better ship in exchange e. g. on a space station - with functional slots instead. It seems the damaged slots don't lower the value of your ship... [/offtopic]

If you claim a ship, regardless of condition, it will show up in your freighter once you get one. If you didn't fix the pulse engine and the launch tech it will not be summonable (supposedly).
If you don't have a freighter yet, all you have to do is warp a few times to get a "quick-time" event to save a freighter. Once you've dealt with the pirates, the freighter is claimable and your ships will be on it.

Is it possible to travel back to a galaxy already visited via the portal?

If you claimed ship and than used your previous ship to fly around, than your previous ship would be your main ship until you switch them back. To do so in the summon ship menu there's a new option with three different colored ships on the right, open it and select ship you want to summon from your collection.
