You can also get this ship out in space! I believe it’s called something like the “Fixn’go” or “Repairn’Go”, something like that. It’s a green Vista III with the same stats and equipment!

[@rcash3625]

Is it just a random encounter?

[@KhanIlkara]

It's funny that you mention this. I had a Starborn ship raid my base on Earth or at least attempt to. The strange part is that they landed close enough that when I did fast travel after taking care of them I had come back to Earth to put something away. Somehow, I had the urge to check the ship as it was still there, resulting in me scoring a free Starborn ship.

[@gelliaramadis522]

what annoys me with Bethesda, this game in particular, they patch more often the content or "glitches/exploits" that typically are considered more fun to players and ignore many of the issues that actually ruin the gameplay. its a single player non online game, let the players play how they want and stop ruining that with updates that dont necessarily improve the game just add dumb features that nobody gives af about like "new photo mode features" gtfo Bethesda.

If you sit down and take the ship before going to the storage, then it won't be flagged "steal". Also, This is probably the same ship that you get when you randomly come across a smuggler in space. With that scenario, taking the package later results in a battle for those who were Supposed to get the package.

Lie on options one with Captain then say you are the wrong person. Crew will attack you, clear them out then do the build outpost and go off planet routine. Loot will be clean on the ship on return.

[@billeaton9562]

Since the update I have only had one ship land on a planet while I am there and that has been on at least 20 planets and moons. This feature appears to have been killed by the update. Quite a blow as the thrill of stealing a ship from pirates etc was keeping me involved in the game. Not so sure why this was done. I have also taken a ship in the way mentioned here (a couple actually) but not sure if it will happen now.

[@Rikhammer]

This is probably due to having fixed the empty /ghost ship bug. Cause by the starborn ships being bugged and landing everywhere BGS shadow fixed this bug in its update it was not in the patch notes as a result it killed the random ship encounters landing on planets.

[@jamesweible5357]

@@Rikhammer That's not fixing the bug, that's hiding the bug. Fixing the bug would be fixing the crew disappearing.

[@Rikhammer]

@@jamesweible5357 crew disappearing is a completely different bug. Like I stated in my above comment the empty/ghost is bug has been fixed unofficially as it was not in the March 19 patch notes. I’m have ships land again but I have to look for landing zones a quick reset to Venus and it’s completely fixed. No one mention anything about crew missing that a bug you have I don’t have that bug. Hopefully there’s a fix to that soon.

[@LeifurHakonarson]

The first dialogue option also works. Note that the intended recipient of the package will probably come for it later - with a whole fleet of friends (at least that is what happened to me). Offering to return the goods probably doesn't work (I didn't even bother to try) - you will have to fight and kill him. I got an Autobahn, not a Vista (I was on a different planet) but the good news is that this has not changed in the May 2024 update.

Same there are zero ships landing now. There are ship landing icons but no ships there. No ships landing in cities either at the spaceports

[@DrVenture45]

I did this, but I didn’t put down a beacon. I just kept a mental picture of the ships landing zone by clicking “show me” to see location on the surface map. I quick jumped to a close planet then jumped back and there it was…minus the crew and captain. No beacon necessary.

[@SpartasEdge]

1:54 It's not weird. You saud yourself that the captain of the ship was expecting somone to turn up for a job; it stands to reason that he would have informed the crew why they are there; and so they too would also be expecting someone to turn up; and they also probably just assumed you was that person.

[@Phaolan]

I had a ship land on on another planet, not a Vista, same scenario captain thinks I'm the contact. I took the package and told him I wasn't the real pickup. They attacked, I cleared the crew and took the ship, didn't have to drop a beacon or fly to a different planet

[@2001perseus.]

Yep me too.

[@colewilliams6623]

I think this has been known for quite some time now. It can also happen anywhere in the universe. Regardless of the dialog choice you make, you can still get the ship. The two lies end the exact same. The mistaken option the crew will turn hostile. The 4th one I have never done so am unsure if they turn hostile or not. Regardless leaving and returning will still bag you the ship. I will have to try the 4th option as I am now curious.

[@DrVenture45]

I honestly wish you could clean a ship of all the random junk in this game, including the items that aren't collectable like buckets and ladders. or that things would remain as you place them. Even the ship you get for doing the Stroud-Eklund mission is trashy...and it's suppose to be brand new! At least they did fix the doubling items issue. Good find, Griff!

[@tonepilot]

Nope, that issue is still there. Double junk for double fun.

[@DrVenture45]

[@ROSENKRIEGER]

I got this ship too. But I simply killed the entire crew when I entered it (after I talked to the captain, and he gave me "the stuff"). I then was able to sit in the pilot seat and take off. I registered the ship and now how the Freestar Vista III. I did NOT get a bounty (even though I am a Freestar Ranger myself and killing the entire crew).

[@johnspartan98]

I've gotten many of the UC and Freestar Vista 3's. I use the first option in the conversation with the captain then the next option I pick the "you got the wrong guy"...then the captain says: "Is that right....then we have a problem then don't we...because now you know too much" Then he goes into attack mode and so does the crew. You end up getting rid of the entire crew in self defence. Then I use the navigator consul on the ship and jump to the nearest system. I find myself having jumped in my own ship, so I immediately return to my ships landing site, get out, and fast travel back to the Vista III. Now the ship is cleaned up and the captains chair is working. I jump in, save is as my home ship, register it, and it's mine.

[@Panda165YouTube]

I think I came across this situation but I massacred all on board & stole what I wanted. After it I believe it caused that every ship lands but its doors will not open. Do you how to resolve this issue as it’s ruining my game.

[@MidnightRoselle222]

Have they fixed the random glitches when stealing ships yet? I was constantly getting glitches and, once, even had the pirates base with the UC home port forced to load at the same time because i stole a ship and the game couldn't figure out where I was for some reason.

I wonder if the ship's randomly spawning on planets was intentionally removed, or is it a bug in the in the latest update ? I'm sure plenty of people would have noticed it in the beta update release, so if it is a bug you would imagine they would have fixed it before the full update release.

[@nywolf9798]

@@mikehp920It's no doubt a bug, I really doubt after taking so much criticism for planets being boring that they would actually make them boring by removing the best part about them.

Stolen around 30 of these so far. But I want that little bit of combat xp when I do. I tell either lie, it doesn't matter which then I tell the smuggler I'm not the guy.

You don't get any bounty put on you for killing them although it counts as murders in your stats lol. Oh well. Funny thing is you can actually leave the ships for pick up later if you want as long as you kill everyone on board. Handy for us Xbox players not using ship inventory expansion mod, we can only hold 10 ships so this way you can basically reserve the Freestar ships for later pickup. But only the Freestar Vista III's. They never move then. I found one I forgot about today I was going to steal a bit over a week ago but my game crashed and I just turned it off and went to bed, forgot all about that ship until I happened to land near it today and there it was still, empty of crew and I took it with no effort. UC Vista III's are the easiest to steal though. The whole crew wanders around outside and all you have to do is pick the door lock, get to the cockpit and you can steal them within seconds.
