Damn the Ship of the Damned

[Synth.]

Responding to request to dock with the fleet Commanders ship at meeting point to translate message of economic importance only to find that there are no docking bays on the ship of the damned and I cannot dismiss the ship because it is busy? This mission will forever be on my list of missions incomplete. Watched Youtube video of another player having same issue.
Please advise to possible solution my Infra-knife weapons did nothing but it felt good to let off a stream of molten metal.

Go back to the Fleet Command terminal and Abandon the expedition?

Don't use the Ship of the Damned or the Normandy as the lead ship because you'll have this exact problem. I landed on another frigate, got it sorted out & it still wouldn't complete.

Always select a 'normal' frigate to lead the expedition. Or you can also tell the crew to ♥♥♥♥ off when they need babysitting - you're not missing out on much by not responding anyways.

Happened to me once as well. Annoying, but not a big deal... I just simply did what @Ozwald said above and just said screw it regarding helping them. The expedition still finished without being cancelled.

Since then I always make sure to select a ship that CAN be landed on first when sending out expeditions, in the hopes that the "lead" ship is determined by which ship you select first. I have no idea if even works that way or not but I haven't had the problem since.

It is the first one you pick. It's also the one you debrief at the end of their expedition.

Wow, what a dumb situation they created with these special ships.

Hey thanks all for the timely reply with this issue. Much appreciated. Yeah I never figured that the ship would be deficient in that way. I just liked the cool effects and it was free. Thanks again.

Send it out, just pick a different frigate first & you'll be fine.

[edit]
I've never tried with the Leviathan or any organic frigate, but I would expect similar results.

Cancelled the expedition as suggested recalled ships and deleted the ship of the damned. Not worried there will be other special ships to confound me in the future I suspect. Looking forward to more in 2025. I will just claim pirate battleships now instead of blowing them apart. Happy new year everybody.

That Cursed Ship is pretty good, you should have kept it.
