Bought a new ship, can't take control.
I just sold my old ship, bought a new one and waited for it to be built. Once it was built I tried to enter in and was able to but I couldn't tell the pilot to get out of the seat! What is the deal here? It's obviously my ship as the little elevator took me to it but I can't fly it.

I can't even talk to the pilot to tell her to go somewhere else. Please tell me this isn't yet another bug...

EDIT: It was a bug, but thankfully saving and reloading the save worked.

Yeah I get this bug a lot also with freshly built ships. You can "fix" it by ordering the ship to undock and then redock. When the ship touches down again, the pilot will now get out of the seat for you.

Or another way is to highlight the ship in your menu to the left and click on it to fly anywhere, this also works for ships that are in storage and you cannot get it out.

Yeah that's how I do it. But I often don't wait for the ship to fly somewhere outside the wharf, turn around, and redock. I want my new ship available to fly NOW NOW NOW. So I go straight into the ship behavior menu and cancel out the "fly to" order. The glitchy ship will redock immediately. If you catch it quick enough, the ship will repark on the same pad where it took off from.

Or you you just teleport in, it doesn't really matter if the ship docks or not. The pilot will still be "unfrozen" and will get out of the chair for you.

Has this bug been occurring since release? At some point you'd think it would have been fixed...

Or do F2 for external camera then F1 again. This also works when consoles get frozen and can't be interacted with.

Note that if the pilot is stuck doing something "critical" - i wish this was removed for good - you may have to wait. In this case, best to go somewhere else OOS.
