Ship will NOT upgrade

[Cerberus Shepard]

I got the game a few days ago and it's been great...I'm doing the terran cadet start and I am at the point of having to upgrade the ship after a fight and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ money dissapears but the purchased weapons and engine never get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ added to my ship[been waiting for over 30mins]??? Wtf kind of scam are they running on the equipment docks?

So there are some exceptions. When you are working the shipyard and make all the changes does the station mention if its low of certain stock items? If so those either by itself of by you delivering them must happen before your ship can be built. Secondly whats the queue? Is your ship the 30th in line to be built? Id suggest a different dock since the one your at seems a bit slugish

Nothing In the queue

No missing parts

It's the dock the mission sends you too so there really shouldn't be an issue and I don't want to break my save by using a different location....think I may just quit for the day as this kind badly designed and terribly explained mechanism really annoys me

Will see what other solutions are presented via this thread tomorrow

There is the possibility of the dock missing resources to make the upgrades. In that case you either have to wait until the parts get in or cancel the upgrade.

When ordering a new ship or upgrading one always keep an eye on the indicated time to be done. if it is "-.-" it means that the station is lacking some resources.. If you click on the individual parts of the ship or the upgrade you ordered you can see what's missing but ONLY if you do that before placing the order...

What is actually poorly explained is the length and the consequences of a "real economy".

Everything needs resources to be built. The location of stations and ships (which have to do with how close and easy to get the resources are) is randomly generated by a seed with every different game start.

An other important thing is for the ship to have an NPC pilot or the player to be actually sitting in the pilot's seat for the upgrade to take place...

Sorry I just supposed that you were actually sitting as a pilot...

Others have explained the workings of the equipment dock so I'll just add that the mission to upgrade your ship is optional. Just cancel it and you'll get the next mission in line.
