Where do you hire the base scientist?
It showed me where to find the Overseer but now my mission is to hire a base scientist and I can't find him in the Space Station. What does he look like or where does he stay?

In my game, the galaxy map has a system marked for the scientist quest. Check your galaxy map while you have the mission active and see if it shows up.

Yep, found scientist - but can hire in many systems. Quest was always active.

Nothing on the galaxy map. Under the mission name it says "Staff are available to hire in space stations"

Each system will be run by one of the 3 so make sure you are in the correct system

Try and make sure it is a new system and not one where you visited the space station before. I tried teleporting to a Korvax station to see if I could hire anyone, but I already talked to everyone and it would not let me hire any of them.

I teleported to a Korvax station and talked to everyopne and it won't let me hire anyone either.

There was a "Sceintist" in one of the stations I was able to wormhole to, a station I'd been to before, but he wouldn't hire. I went to a new station, and there were two "Chief Scientist" the first had no option, but the second offered to work for me.

Ok I was stuck on this too. I needed to craft the Mind Arc, but the Scientist Mission did not show up.

Here are the steps.

Go to your Base

Craft a Cylindrical Room (350 Pure Ferrite)

Place a Door on it (50 Pure Ferrite)

You will now be able to craft a construction terminal inside the room.

Place it down and it should start a mission for the overseer.

Complete it and a few small missions after and you will be able to find a scientist.

thanks for the tips, but do note you also need to make a whole separate room to hire the scientist from his own separate terminal in.
