[SOLVED] [6.0 HF1] Boron plot did not start correctly, no storyline after first custscene (spoilers, with saves)

[Nerothank]

Hi all

Last Saturday I was able to start off my journey to Boron space. I got the notification by ALI about the expedition and joined them shortly after.
The initial cutscene played perfectly well and all of us travelled through the gate. Then, nothing. Apart from some Teladi leaving because the sector seemed empty all ships just stood there and did nothing.
I decided to head off on my own and triggered another cutscene involving two BOR transports that were happy that resource shortages might finally be over. I then entered actual BOR space and got a mission to supply the build of a new shipyard.
Now, the shipyard mission is completed and the wayfinder still sits at the initial gate, doing nothing. No new mission triggered from that.

Version 6.0 HF1, English, unmodified
Game start: The Young Gun (hundreds of hours in)

Here is a link to two saves: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qn4pvwjekb9p ... Cht4a?dl=0
after-shipyard-done -> A save sitting next to the wayfinder with completed shipyard quest an nothing else to do (Boron-wise ); this is my current state I described above.
pre-plot-start -> A save just before the Boron plot starts, just shy of 60km in front of the gate where the first cutscene starts; this is just an old save (lacking roughly 24h hours of playtime to the real save) that I can reproduce the issue in

Kind regards
Nero


EDIT: Added saves and updated post with latest information I have, updated thread title to be more accurate.

I am having the same issue,

Worked fine in an earlier save, i did even start the plot and everything was working as intended (Ships began scanning and ALI told me to explore Watchful gaze etc..)

However i decided i actually wanted to postpone the Gate opening and the following Plotline a little further until i've finished some other Station bulding projects. To be able to fully concentrate on the plot.

So i've reloaded a Save i made before triggering the gate opening and continued from there.

As i came back a couple of days later, to finally start the plot the Cutscenes and the traversal into watchful gate worked as intended. from there on it stopped tho.

The ships did not start to scan, there was no abandoned ship to claim and no derelict ship to explore and i have not heard from pradanid guy leading the expedition ever since.


EDIT:

The Issue solved itself on my Part and everything is now working as intended. Seems i have triggered the Gate opening without accepting the Mission offer from ALI first.

Oh my god - now I feel stupid

I did indeed find the mission in the mission offers tab and was able to accept it. Now everything seems to work as intended.

Thank you for the heads-up Agrefits!
