I think this is a bug? I read that this apparently happened to some people with some previous expedition reward ships, but it’s the first I’ve seen it. Steam version.

When I tried to claim the ship, my only claim option was to buy it for 1400 nanites. I hadn’t that much left, I basically spent all my nanites on minotaur AI and upgrades (because fuck having to fight yourself in this game). Since I couldn’t buy, I had a warning I would not be able to claim it later, and even though I cancelled, while I was trying to farm for nanites that game switched to normal save and I couldn’t claim anymore (even from Anomaly).

I’ve confirmed in another save that the reward is available, but since I don’t have that much nanites, I haven’t try claiming yet, just in case it got eaten up again.

    Same, was rather upset when I had to roll with the shitty starting ship for longer because of the nanite charge on the other expedition ships.

      I can understand putting that condition on past ships, so you can’t cheese too much on a new game/expedition (I don’t think it was necessary, but I get why they’d do it).

      The shitty part is that it did so too on the expedition quest reward. Like, it skipped the final reward forever on my expedition save because suddenly it randomly required nanites to claim.

      And I checked the quicksilver bot afterwards, the ship is shown as already claimed, so I can’t even farm and try again.
