Stuck on Awakenings, no option to reset quest...
For some reason I'm stuck on the story mission "Awakenings" and there's **no option to reset. I get the "Mission Target in another system." message in the bottom right... But uh... I have no way of getting to another system at the moment since I have no ship with a hyperdrive... Not sure what to do at this point.

I've been googling for 30 minutes and no one seems to know what to do at this point..

I also warped to my first base from a star base, and it still says it's in another system.

I would restart. You don't have much time invested, and it will probably be useful on a start over.

Not sure what is happening for you. I can only guess you are playing with MP on and met up another player and somehow it setting your parameters with their parameters.

I know some folks live for MP, but I turn it off for doing the main missions. It just causes too much external chatter in the system.

Put in a bug report with Zendesk whatever you do. That should not happen regardless of MP.

The other options that you could try, if you do not want to restart are, change to another mission until you have the hyper-drive, then continue with this mission or just fly around from plant to planet do all the research from scanning and up loading them to get money then you can buy the hyper-drive.

Where do you get the hyperdrive if not able to do the Awakenings mission though? I've talked to everyone on the space station in my system and looked at all kiosks and terminals. I found hyperdrive upgrades but those did not give me the hyperdrive itself. I'm stuck on this mission in a different system.

The drive BP is handed out during the steps of the mission. On step after starting the base is to go to the space station and talk to NPCs. They trigger the next step and you return to the base via the teleport. You get the location of a crashed freighter where you get the hyperdrive BP.

A year ago the steps may have been a little different, today a new option is turn off the tutorial in settings and you should get the BP.

Yes, I did all that up to the end of your 1st paragraph; the location of the crashed ship it gave me is in another star system so I cannot get to it, since I need the hyperdrive it's supposed to give me in order to get to it at all. I just recently had a friend find a crashed starship for me, he repaired it and it had a hyperdrive, but it left a copy, so I repaired it and there was no hyperdrive. We tried a bunch of workarounds to get me a hyperdrive but had no progress.

I think it could be because I joined my friend's hosted game while I had this mission active and it might've placed the objective in his system, but since I'm trying to unlock all the basics at the system I started my first base in, I warped back, and the other system's space station teleporter never got added to my list of teleportable locations (got any tips for that one? I'm stuck there too and if my mission is in my friend's system, it would make this whole thing much easier if I could warp there from my base).

I did not know about the tutorial part. Thank you, I'll try this later today. Like I alluded to earlier, I was trying to get a hyperdrive for about 4-5 hours or so last night with my friend and ended up giving up and resolving to starting a new save in my next session and doing the crucial early story missions solo-only to prevent issues like this. I had no issues like this on PS4 when I last played a few updates ago, but then again that was solo play.

But you may have just saved me from scrapping about 12 hours of progress, so thank you again. I'll update if it works.

If you skip the tutorial you get the BP's at the start. Unless you really want to do the tutorial I'd suggest skipping it. MP does mess with your locations, it's been that way for a while.

Bummer. You will probably need to restart. You are not far enough away from the mission system to restart it. Without the BP, all ships you find will not have a warp drive (even for purchase). And, by starting the mission in a system where you did not visit the space station, it won't be on your list. Do you have any portal glyphs? The only way I can think of to get back to the system is to have your friend I'd a portal and then you use your own portal to get there. That is a many hours task. Unfortunately, a restart sounds like your best option.

Go to OPTION then LOG hold your mouse over the Story mission and then hold MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON until it says mission RESET. That will put the mission as close to you as possible.
But I feel you are at a stage in the Story Mission where you NEED to build a Warp Drive. Google how to do that. It should be impossible to get stuck, you can always mine more materials or buy what you need from planetary Trade Centers or Space Stations.

Thanks for the help guys. I couldn't skip the tutorial outright on my existing save, and resetting with the button at the bottom of the quest log did not bring it to my system. I started a new save, and in most ways I'm at or past where I'd progressed to in my last save, and the quest line is functional as expected. I'm all set now.

In general when you are stucked in a quest where you need some items you should go in the difficulty settings and change to get all for free, get your item, and then change back. After this the quest should trigger as successful and you can go on, or you can reset it in the Log once you are far enough away from the quest waypoint (several 1000 LY to be sure).
