Timelines - Now What

[ANOCH]

So I am lost, I have no idea what do from here. It seams as if something is wrong, Or maybe its just me. This game has always been hard for me to grasp.
I Have:
Been past the white room
At least one star on all graph missions
No one left to talk to
Got the "found in the light" achievement or whatever its proper name is.
All Dark room missions at least one star.

On last load in:
All stars are now white with the number underneath
my room has changed from dorm 2 to dorm 5
I now act like i have never been there before.
My accent has changed as well as my attitude.
Most of the dorms are now full.
Received an Egosoft notification explaining that the next missions are not covered by (missed it maybe tutorials) and that I should try the open universe, with that option to do so or not. I chose to continue timelines, but nothing.
Edit: it seams that some of the above may be due to the 7.10 update

I have no grandmother achievement
I have no blueprints
the timeline is empty
I have not checked to see if any ships are out there yet. Not interested in searching for something that may not be there.
Did not talk to the Boron yet, but, it is my understanding that that only gives you 2 things. I should have everything else by now. Not even sure I got his message. I have multiple messages from him but none that seem to be linked to timelines.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I believe you've not finished the timelines story. Basically you'd need to hear the voice during missions, then you'd ask around, then upon unplugging from the "interface" npcs will keep approaching you with "skits", then you'd meet someone, then you'd need to collect two items in timelines map, then you'd meet someone again, then there will be cinematic cutscene, and after that you'll have the faction (and sectors, I thnk), unlocked in sandbox. Grandmother achievement has to be finished in sandbox/open universe.

Individual missions will unlock ships which you have to claim, and once you claim the ship, you can do a research to rebuild it if it is destroyed.

Regarding mannerisms, it sounds like the game switched your character. From male to female or other way around.

Thank you for your response.
I found all the items and talked to all the people I could talk to. I got the messages from the missions about the "dark". I don't believe I ever got the cinematic though. I did get a notification after I posted this about the ships and sectors, I believe that update 7.10 added those notifications, as well as the personality and room changes. Still no faction or timeline.
I am at this time attempting to find one of the ships.

You however mention the "timelines map" and the collection of two Items, this I do not recall.
I did however retrieve 3 items from the facility in the dorms is that what you mean?

So the grandmother has to be taken care of through the Boron then? If possible could you let me know what the name of the mission with the Boron is Because I don't think I got it.
Thanks again

You need to enter WHITE ROOM. You'll know what it is when you see it.

To do that, you'll have to meet Mitsuno. That character will appear after you work through dialogues, which involves resolving conflict between two split (and sudden "Split has feelings"). Before that you might need to talk to the death to the paranid, the split, gamer teladi in glasses, examine graffiti (there are several of them, one appears above the walkway, another is on the wall, I think there's at least three. In one of the rooms there's removed door plaque, which prompts your character to ask who is Mitsuno, then you ask about her everybody, including the Director. Note that characters you can talk to are color-coded. I think they wear yellow or red, but it is a different color from filler NPCs. Also, to progress the story, you'd need to jump BACK into the missions, and have Mitsuno contact you within missions. Doesn't matter which. Also, said character is only gonna spawn, I believe, if you talk to the split about showing her the secret space you found. You'll also need to visit the table you woke up at a few times, as few more character will appear t here.

Then in open world, you'll be contacted by Boso Ta who will be excited about gates that reactivated in Inamous Azura or whatever it is supposed to be spelled as. The email you get seem to be new feature added in 7.10, I think it doesn't really have an effect on anything.

Note that I was playing during 7.0 and I picked female char. It is possible that they broke something, also consider asking for help on egosoft forums too. You could link to this comment so they can see if I forgot anything.

Grandmother mission is given you in the new sectors by NPC that sits there. It is a 3rd missions of his. In custom game start there are several states of Timelines storyline, and the highest you can reach without playing in sandbox is "Quettanauts". That indicates you completed everything in "Facility". If you don't see it in budgeted game start, it is not unlocked.

thank you for the detailed post
I have done everything in 1st paragraph including the white room

second paragraph
Boso ta has not contacted me about anything having to do with timelines as far as I can tell. I have no new missions linked to timelines.

fourth paragraph
needless to say I have not been to the new sectors since there is no reference to them yet by Boso ta. There is no budgeted game start other then for the editor So no "Quettanauts" I am lost as to what to do from here. looks like egosoft is the next step.
Thanks again for the assist.

If you saw what happened to Mitsuno after you finished the white room, saw an explanation of what the facility and characters in it are, and actual owner of the facility, that should unlock QUE faction in the sandbox and new sectors, 3 of them. If you haven't, then I believe you might need to hand over items to mitsuno and that should trigger final mission.

That's all I can think of. I'd recommend to try asking for help on egosoft forums.

So new development. it seams as if my game is playing out much different then yours did. I never spoke to Bosa ta and never had a timelines mission linked to him but "Mitsunos revenge" is there and the gate is active and yes the mission has started.
So back on track I hope.
The best I can guess is that update 7.10 somehow advanced some of the plot since I was in the middle of the apparent ending when it was downloaded.
Thanks Again

To get Grandmother achievement, do missions given you by the teladi in mitsuno sector. One trading, two non-trading.

And yes, it could go differently, because I cleared Timelines on 7.0.

Have fun.
