A crashed ship? In short, yes.

You can have multiple ships, but you'll need a freighter to acces them. You'll get one from quests someday.

here's what happened. I claimed it and it made me lose my s class exotic i found. I assumed it would just send my ship to my freighter. I was wrong. It basically abandonded the ship i was flying for the derelict

[it's a gabe]

Yep. We all assume that's a bug.

Yep, crashed ships are bugged at the moment, i got a freighter, i still have space, but ''add to collection'' button will replace your current ship.

thank god i had a manual save fml i was about to stop playing

Are the save beacons permanent?

I found a crashed hauler ship, but spent so much time and effort repairing my current fighter ship (this one was also a crashed ship that replaced my starter ship) that i do not just want to abandon it. So i have created a save beacon and put it next to the crashed hauler.

The plan is to then come back and claim the thing once i eventually have a freighter, so that i do not lose my fighter.

So, will the save beacon persist? i am currently logged out the game beside the crashed hauler.

Oof. An hour an no one could answer that. Sorry buddy.

I imagine you already tried? Well, if not, yes, the save beacon will remain there until you remove it. Beware, tho, that there's a bug where buildings and other tech related things might disappear sometimes. The way I found to temporarily fix this is reloading the save (doesn't have to be a save from before it happened, at least not for me).

You can get rid of the bug and do everything normally by moving ALL cargo to the new ship, it breaks the bug and the normal menu comes back. Then you can add to collection so long as you have a slot.

The bug with the crashed ships can be "fixxed" by buying ANY ship on a Space station. after that you should be able to also add crashed ships to your collection the way its supposed to work. (:
Thats how i did it

[mr.grey]

in other words: only at first crashed(/new?) ship, the old one must have no cargo (i did not move stuff to new one but emptied out my ship before claiming).

[Unicron Supreme]

short answer is yes you lose everything. Take it from a Vet like me of the game.

Don't listen to the minority that are Noob's, you WILL lose EVERYTHING!

You guys, I bumped the thread cuz someone else had a doubt regarding save beacons.

HG say they fixed this bug (friend of mine confirmed). None of y'all check the patch notes?

[it's a gabe]

To anyone doubting, here: https://www.nomanssky.com/2019/08/beyond-patch-2-09/

Fixed an issue where ships that were being added to a player’s fleet would be instead be traded in if purchased while the player’s current ship still had cargo aboard.

It has an option to add it to my collection but I do not trust it. I do not have a freighter so I don't know why it says this.
