Hello guys,
I captured a freighter and I seem to not be able to scan it, to claim. I can only claim it by boarding, I have two marines and I have retried several times.
The marines just keep circling the ship. I don't seem to be able to command them to dock back with my ship, they won't board the ship, they won't do anything and it's getting really annoying.
Is there any workaruond I can use to claim this damn ship?
Please fix the boarding pods, as it's a very important part of them game.
Despites the countless bugs I have encountered, I really like the game but this one is the first game breaking bug for me. If boarding isn's fixed soon, I will leave negative reviews until this issue is resolved!
Thanks!
1.21 BUG - Boarding completely broken - inconvenient workaround - Resolved in coming 1.30

Send marines to claim, then leave the sector and come back, ship will be yours.

Re: BUG - Boarding completely broken
In my experience it has at least worked as intended with the larger ships, fyi

Re: 1.21 BUG - Boarding completely broken - inconvenient workaround
There have been several interacting bugs at play which confused everybody - including myself.
Firstly the intended method of claiming M size ships is via leak scanning as per the tutorial, but that sometimes had a bug that the leak couldn't be found, or another bug that it didn't work if it was scanned. That latter bug was fixed in 1.21 and explains why scanning now turns the ship green.
There is a further bug that some player-owned (green) ships do not let you dock, and that bug is being fixed in the next build 1.30.
Phew! So in future after 1.30, follow the tutorial and scan the leak and claim S and M sized empty ship targets and you should not need the marines.
