Advancing the storyline on Kite Station with NEXUS? Help needed!

[GreyHawk]

I just started playing this game, doing stuff according to missions and talking to the commander on Kite Station.
Then a nexus appears and the comander says:

"That nexus may vanish as quickly as it appeared. Get your ship over there, pronto."

I do so, and explore the next 2 star systems, gaining access to the Nexus Fast Travel points.
I return home with the Nexus Fast Travel point and dock with Kite Station only to see that the commander still says the same thing:

That nexus may vanish as quickly as it appeared. Get your ship over there, pronto.

(This also prevents me from getting replacement crewmembers).

How do I advance the storyline?

Help plz!

Same problem for me

I'm investigating. It looks like this is an issue with the GOG version of the build when the GOG Galaxy client isn't logged in. I'm working on a patch now.

I've uploaded a patch to GOG (v 1.0.13c) that should fix the issue, please let me know. (You may need to check for updates in GOG).

I logged in to GOG, however the patch is not there?

The patch automatically installs if you have the GOG Galaxy client. The offline installer doesn't appear to have been updated and may require a manual update by GOG. I've let them know about the issue.

Running on GOG without GALAXY I found an exploit:

After talking to the Saurid about the Chitik forward base, and destroying that base,
when I return to talk to the Saurid, I hail them, and get the reward. After that, every time I hail them I get the same response and reward over and over again.

It is an infinite exploit, and although endless resources is fun to have, I still feel obliged to report it.

This might be another manifestation of the bug that affects GOG in offline mode. I've submitted a patch but apparently the offline installer requires human intervention on GOG's side.

Thanks for your report, let me know if you encounter any other issues.

Installing StarCom Nexus using the GOG Galaxy Client fixed the Kite Mission bug (I was able to continue the storyline). However, the story wont advance past a couple other plot lines.

One of them is the "Saurid Science Station". I found and destroyed the station, but the quest remains active and talking to the Suarids doesn't advance the plot.

Maybe the bugs are related to awarding GOG achievements??? I noticed that when I updated the game with the GOG Galaxy version, I was awarded the "Hole in our universe" GOG achievement and the plot advanced. All was good. However, now I'm stuck again and right now, GOG says I also earned 3 other achievements, but the are all described "Secret Achievement: Continue playing to unlock this achievement"
