PANIC! My ship changed models during a missioN!!!!

[imagineBen]

I went and finished(?) the mission where you shut down the atlas, but I refused. When I found my ship, it was a junky model. And it was an Orb ship. And I'm so upset! I haven't restarted my game to see if that fixes it, but holy damn. Is this what I get for refusing?! An ugly ship?!

It's a bug.

check to see if your manual save is from before the change happened.

Where does this bug happen exactly, what does it mean 'Shut down the Atlas'? I can visit Atlas stations to interact or not interact, but AFAIK there's nothing to 'shut down', or is this a special mission?

I don't know where it happens. I'm pretty sure OP meant the end of the main storyline, where you reset the simulation.

Ok thanks. At that point it's good to backup the manual save (as I said in another similar post.)

Did just the apperence change, or is it a completely different ship?

If it just cosmetic you can use the save editor to change it back. If you have a backup of your save you can use that to copy the ship seed value to your current save. If not, there are a few fan sites with ship seed catalogs. You find a seed value for a ship that looks kind of like what yours is suppose to.

If it's a completely new ship you can still use the save editor, but it will be more work.

Unfortunately I didn't have a backup of my save! Oups! So I had no seed to pull from. I just went to the website and downloaded the save editor. Randomized the seed and got something similar to what I had before. Oof.

There is a site called nmseeds that collects ships with images, if yours was anything other than a bugship you should find a seed for it there.

Even if you don't have a backup of your save, you still have a manual save, or not? By loading it you will lose some progress but it should send you before your choices of the galaxy in the Atlas station. If yes, be sure to make a backup by copy-pasting that manual save somewhere.

Must be one hell of an ugly ship if you're not even sharing a screenshot.

It's not only about the ugly ship, it's about the content that was on OP's ship before which is probably lost.

We kinda have to shop around for a ship by it's look, because that never changes as you make changes to the ship. So, it's a "thing" for people who want a look, but then get it changed due to this bug into something you wouldn't have chosen in the first place.

That said, let's not overlook the millions you may have poured into this now undesirable ship. In my case it was a fighter with a specific look, and then it changed into another of the defaults out there. I didn't care for the look change neither lol. What a waste.

If we change the appearance of our ship through upgrades, like cargo space = some new added piece on our ship, then that would be great! But, no. Or, can we now?

[imagineBen]

My ship contents were not lost, nor were the upgrades and class. Just the ship model. Thanks everyone for you help! And also, my ship wasn't the prettiest, but I laughed at @testoterownlol for sure.
