Captured Watchtower Ship Can't Travel

[dewmedic]

I'm having the same problem as reported by another user (BigBeardBaron). I've progressed far enough in the quest line that I'm "qualified" to pilot Watchtower ships, but when I capture a ship and try to fly it, I get the message "You cannot fast travel from this location". I can't Grav jump to any location, and I can't land on the closest planet to change home ships.

I'm on Xbox series X, and I'm on Ver. 1.0.3 of Watchtower

Thanks

Hi there, is this affecting all Watchtower ships, or certain classes?

In this universe, I got the message on a captured Battleship, but I'm assuming that's because you're using an "M" class platform for the battleship, and I don't have any "M" class mods (yet). On a previous universe, I got the message on a Destroyer, which I assume is a "C" class platform. I honestly haven't tried to fly the Corvette, because I didn't think they were worth the effort (sorry), but I'll try piloting all three ships in the next universe and report.

Thanks!

It's affecting all classes, but with different effects as follows:

Corvette - The Corvettes explode every time I undock from my home ship. Every. Single. Time! The captured Corvette will have a hull integrity >80 when I dock (captured using only EM weapons), but as soon as I undock from my home ship, they explode with a message about low hull integrity and RS repair. Seven different Corvettes, seven different systems, seven different explosions.

Destroyer - Successfully capture, clear, and undock. Can fly around locally picking up cargo from other destroyed ships, but if I wan't to land on the planet or Grav jump anywhere, I get the message "You cannot fast travel from this location".

Battleship - Same results as the Destroyers

Cruiser - I can't sit in the Pilot Seat, and I get the message "Cannot pilot due to ship size". I assume you're using an "M" Class platform for this beast of a ship, and I don't have any "M" class mods.

I'm running Watchtower 1.0.3, on Xbox Series X with OS 10.0.26100.5362

Thank you.
