Mission "Totally Overpowered" won't start

[J-M v2.5.5]

Story Chapter 3: Totally Overpowered won't start. I'm in the Sky Guys Bar, I bought a beer and drank it, sat down, but nothing happens. Since it's a new mission, I can't manually check objectives as completed. I have the required neutral standing with the Free Colonists so that's not the problem either

Any ideas?

Do you have some faction rep mission not complete in your log? If so go finish that up then return to the bar. Might be able to deactivate that faction rep quest if you have it going.. not sure. I just complete side quests first then move onto story missions.

Oh methinks you have to talk to someone? Look in PDA and see if the mission says what you have done and, maybe speak to someone there. I`m right behind you in this mission but think it told me to speak to someone there?

Restarting the server miraculously worked. But this was like the third restart so I have no idea if restarting the server is the thing that fixed it...

You will get plenty of help in these forums, great community

same issue here. Mission wont start for me or my friend on his game. we're gonna try to restart the server now...
Edit: It DID work. After a server reset we were able to do the mission normally

Where is the bar to drink this root beer? I got the teleporter I installed on my base, but I can't use the secret Sanctuary teleporter: the Commander tells me it's busy and I can't get permission to use it.

I'd like to get the little ship Kezzel pointed out, but to activate the Sanctuary's hidden teleporter, I need a red keycard or the base commander's autrorization.
CO Carver says he's busy and there's no way to get his permission to use the teleporter.
Another problem, after talking to agent Kezzel, he gave me a teleporter, but currently chapter 2 hasn't ended and I have no active missions.

Heya I'm having the same issue with this activating. When you say "reset the server" you mean just save and exit? I've done that a few times and still can't get this ting to activate. I'm about to just go activate side quests and do them but... it's a game breaker if I have to start over to try to maybe get this quest to activate.

Not just restart your own game, but restart the entire server.

This time I restarted the server while in the station and it worked!! Thank you very much :)

I play solo. In the PDA, I have "Updating mission parameters... please wait.". No way to advance to chapter 3

Try using console command "pda brief 4".

[targus929]

With "pda brief 4" I activated the mission "Sky Guys bar - Get a beer".
But I didn't get the little ship. How do you unlock the hidden Sanctuary teleporter?

[J-M v2.5.5]

Ohh my bad, you're not at that stage yet. Sorry.

Earlier on, near the crashed ship (the Heidelberg) there was this alien you talked to. He gave you an item. From what I know, you have to bring this item with you and then talk to the guard next to the central elevator in the Polaris trading station. From there on, the mission should be able to proceed normally.

I took the artifact back to Kezzel and received a basic teleporter as a reward. He told me to go to the trading station to buy a root beer and said I could also get a small ship by taking the Sanctuary teleporter (Polaris station). I have the yellow marker above the Sanctuary security console, but I need a red key card or permission from Commander Carver. I have neither, as Carver tells me he is busy. On the other hand, talking to Kezzel again, he asks me if I have the report. (?)
In my inventory, I have the artifact recovered from the burial chamber.
In a pinch, now that I have a marker on the orbital station wiith "pda brief 4", I can make a ship and go there to see if the main story will pick up.
