Where can i find a Korvax specialist?
I'm at the point in the story mission when you build a science terminal and the game tell me I need a scientist and that they can be found on a Korvax station. I've talked to every single Korvax in the station, and not gotten any prompt to hire them. What am I missing?

OK, so 11 hours later, still haven't found this scientist. I have scoured more than 20 Krovax space stations and I have yet to find one. I have built the terminal on my freighter, but no luck. I have found "Chief Scientist (NAME)" on the stations, but when talking to them it just tells me they are covering themselves in grease, and my offer the help makes them embarassed. That's all. So I'm guessing "Chief Scientist (NAME)" is not the right npc. Nor are the "Scientist (NAME)" as those are just regular npc that offer quests or language help.

So, where on the space station do this guy spawn? What is his "title"? Does he have a certain appearance? Because I need to narrow down the search as I keep jumping between systems in search for this guy.

My current mission objective is this: "The Mind-Arc can be used to rescue Artemis. Advanced components require a base Scientist. Select Scientific Research missions from the log."

I don't have any scientific research missions, so that's a dead end. I have the terminal. Are there any other requirements to have them spawn? Because I'm at wits end here.

Bump. I can't be the only one this far into the story.

Remember that there is a small room behind the tech dock. But I think I got my korvax specialist in the market side.

I don't remember his title, sorry.

Well, thanks. I'm seriously beginning to wonder if my game is bugged, because I still haven't found one.

I can't remember it being an issue, but the station I found him on was marked on the galaxy map. If you have the terminal, the quest, and have been to that station, then I'm not sure. All of your hirelings are found in the trading area of the station.

IIRC, you might need to talk to your overseer first?

Well, I got there, but the waypoint shows "Tune to Artemis" and shows the location of a Holo tower. I can't do anything at that tower, so the quest seem bugged.

Also, what's an overseer?

The overseer is the operator for the construction terminal. The quest should of led you to get him first....before the scientist. I have my overseer....currently can't find a scientist.

Okay, found out what's wrong. You need to build the science terminal first, despite the game telling you to just go and find a scientist instead. After that, ANOTHER mission will appear.
Make sure you select the mission "Scientific Research," NOT "Expanding the Base," of which both missions tell you to find a scientist as part of the objective. Only selecting the former mission will the game update and tell you you can find a scientist to hire at X location.

No, I built the terminal as per the quest's instruction, but I never got the quest you mentioned.

So to sum up, I should have a dude and a consol already that I do not have, nor have the blueprints for. And somehow I still have the quest for the science terminal, to build it. But when I put it down, I never got the quest "Scientific Research," basically locking me out of any further base building or story quest. Brilliant.

OK. OK... OK! FFS devs, did it have to be random???

I have spent about 8 hours talking to everyone on Korvax stations, no luck. Now, I jumped to a Korvax system thinking "I'll just talk to priests then" but there was no priests there so I figured I might as well talk to everyone and learn a few words..... Then a "Chemist" wanted to become my scientist.

Really devs? Did I have to search 20 korvax stations, talking to everyone, to finally find one at random? What the actual...

And, wouldn't you know, when I reqruited him, I got the "Scientific Research" quest, asking me to look for a scientist... That I already found. So I was like "Oh, boy, still bugged then" but when i warped to my home system the quest updated and realised I already had one. Oh wow. Well, 40 hours later and I finally have my scientist after trying to do hundreds of restarts, removing my bases and building them again, hoping I could get the blueprint from the blueprint research terminal by grinding the ♥♥♥♥ out of burrowed tech, doing the "wait for 1.5 hours between each quest" quests and what have you.

Well, good to know for future playthroughs. The spawns really are random.
