This mission cost me one ships : Salvage Starship Components : 0/550,000u value

[Ryzen]

I already have 11 ships with S and A grades, but in this mission I had to lose 1 of my ships to exchange for this mission.

You could've gone and found another ship. If you had 11 ships, you still had one free slot for a throwaway.

11 slots is full capacity, cannot be added, forced to lose 1 ships for this mission

Actually 12 is full capacity. You have your current ship then via the x menu you can look at the other 11. I'm in the same boat.

Multi-hundred hour game with each ship I have being very unique to me and my travels. I had to think about it for a bit - then decided no, I won't give up any of them.

So I took the option to abandon the mission.

I'd just like to add - they ought to have set the mission up so finding a ship, tagging the ship would suffice. Clearly they did not anticipate people having ships they won't give up.

I'm thinking there will be another means of getting the same reward; I'll just try some other mission being offered.

It's a difficult choice to lose one of the ships that I already have, my decision to continue this mission, and was forced to lose 1 ship to exchange.

Same thing happens if you already have 6 Multi-Tools. You'll have to sacrifice one to make room for the staff.

yes, and i have done that, if multitool is ok to destroy.

There is, it'll complete pretty much immediately if you already have sufficient ship scrap in inventory.

That said, I don't think having one of 12 possible ship slots spare is a big ask. And as you found out, you can abandon the mission.

Yes... but I've not been able to proceed with 'a different mission' no matter which of two I choose. Perhaps I must move to another planet, I'll see.

Stupidly, strangely, even weirdly, one can form attachments to the most ephemeral things in life. Over seven hundred hours of game play and I really don't want to rid myself of any of those 12 as they've been around for a very long time.

Ultimately, my choice will be to forgo all of this at least for now. I wonder... if the missions are like the quick silver stuff, perhaps you can gain them in all saves after obtaining them in one.

Wish I had this problem lol
The salvage ship isn't there for me. Marker, yes. Ship, no. Tried resetting my session and all that. It's just bugged apparently.

[adpace]

Same boat, I’m on my main save and have to choose giving up a ship I like for a mission. Can’t give a ship up so no staff for me. I really hope they patch this with another way to complete. Poor design decision.

That happened me. Just scrap any ship you have and 'return to the mission giver' will trigger, allowing you to complete the mission without scrapping the ship that is marked but not there.

[momopovich]

A workaround is to scrap a ship that you can easily find again (if you have the spawning coordinates), and get it back after you destroy it.

Same thing with the staff.

Sure you lose a bit of resources if it was upgraded but ultimately it's not that bad.

[Vargbrodern]

You don't really need to scrap a ship, you just need some parts of a scraped ship that cover the amount of credit for the quest.
A solution could be find someone willing to scrap a ship for you and send you the items... not ideal I know but still a possibile solution...

[John]

You don't need to scrap a ship for this mission if you already have the involved resources. I've got a stack of Starship AI valves in my inventory and everytime I pick up this mission it counts that, subtracting a couple in payment. Ta da, done, no need to even leave the camp. =)

[Leo]

so i figure out how to fix the bug of missing ship. use a planetary distress chart and go for a class C hauler or something. I just scrapped one worth 2 million + and it triggered the quest
