"Cannot synthesize starship" - Expedition 12 complete
Has anyone run into this issue before? I've completed expedition 12 and have the multi-tool but the ship shows as greyed out from the terminal, and which trying to click it the message (something to the effect of) "Cannot synthesize starship" is presented.

It'd be a bummer to have done it all and then be unable to get the ship (the multi-tool is pretty pants imo) on this save :(

Do you have enough nanites?

More than enough, the message it gives indicates that it's already been done, but lo, there is no ship when I go through my available ships

Try going on land or a base and calling it in. For some reason, I wasn't able to spawn it in at the Anomaly. You can also go to your freighter, if you have one. Jump out of your ship and reload your manual save point. Then it should spawn on your freighter if you don't have very many ships already.

I still don't understand the nanite issue here. It cost me absolutely no nanites to get my ship. It was totally free.

I've got the same problem. Anomaly terminal states that the ship and tool have already been transferred, but there is no sign of either in my regular game after completing the Omega Expedition.

Thanks, I tried this, but the only ships that show up in my "summon different ship" option are the 7 that I already had pre-expedition

I just did a NMS update. Have you both updated your games yet? If not then do so and try again. If no luck then send in a report.

Have you tried this on land? Try on land. Your ship count is a bit high already.

I don't have any updates pending in Steam.

Yes, I tried this at my settlement, at a random plant, and in the space station and summon sphere too

I guess my update was a Steam issue then. Sorry. I would send a report to HG about your ship. I'm guessing you were able to collect everything else?

Well for those of us that ran it on a fresh file ... need to pay nanites if we want it on other files. The Sceptre was free for all though. Since the Sceptre seems to vary based on the System you claim it in ... I guess it should be free lol {since we all get slightly different ones}.

I cannot speak on what happens when you played Omega from a previously existing file. Personally I think this was the most janky thing they ever did ... not surprised there are technical issues with folks.

Yes, everything else seemed to come over as expected.

I did play it on my original save, that may be why.

I am not making excuses for the jankiness here. I mean, we all kind of cross our fingers every time an update comes in hoping to be the safe ones. I was lucky this time. But I still love the game and the free updates.

Okay. Well, if an actual reload doesn't fix it, send in a report. They will probably have you send them a copy of your game.

No doubt. I would have preferred to be allowed to use an existing file entirely, but this is what we got. I take no real issue with it, but feel bad for all the issues we all keep hearing other have. Clearly something is up to have so many people confused.
