what do I do to become an authorised user in the mech assembly station?

[sope]

plz help

Talk to the penguin that wanders near the station. You may need to retrieve the Hylotl artifact first before you can begin the process of gaining authorization from the penguin.

Ok

You actually need to beat erchius horror and talk to Ether Bright after repairing your ship to get access to quest for mechs.

That is for the Stable version currently iirc, QuaestComm is correct for the current Unstable version. I had to wait till after the Hylotl artifact to get the penguin to give the mech quest

Tried on 20+ character, all got access to quest right after finishing quest from Ether Bright. Might be related to one specific glitch tho...

I've pieced together my solution. I had the Elithian Races Mod, needed to update. Still didn't resolve, I was still "unauthorized user"

After this, /failquest mechunlock
Then, /startquest and /completequest commands didn't work, but completing Test Drive did.

My comment was from over 2 years ago. There have been updates and changes to the game since then.
