Gren's ship the Sledgeback can't dock with mine

[Nerevarina2013]

Gren's Ship, The Sledgeback, can't dock with my ship once we've destroyed Heimdall. It just sort of beams, loops in that animation and nothing. I have to cheat-coc back to my ship but well, then the quest doesn't advance and Gren (with Torin as passanger) hangs around Heimdall's location indefinitely The special neuroamp and the disc Torin gives me at the terminal are then stuck in my inventory.
I'm using The Raven by Lighthorse as my ship. https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/6253 if that's valid info.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, sorry you're having difficulty here. Unfortunately this is likely due to the custom mod ship design, making docking difficult.

That being said - we have some alternate routes for progression here. Rather than boarding Gren's ship, are you able to fast travel? This should complete the quest the same as boarding his ship would. Alternatively, hijacking another ship and flying away should also allow for quest completion.

Thank you so much, I'll try that!
For this playthrough it's too late but in the next NG, if I don't remember to use a vanilla ship, I'll do that.

EDIT: Okay, what I had to do was after I set an outpost, I built a landing pad and bought a Vanilla ship. Soon as that spawned, the quest completed and I'm instructed to head back to the Starstation to talk to Torin and the others. I can now move forward. So yeah, when doing the last Watchtower quest, use a Vanilla ship.


Ran into this issue as well. I have a modded ship and Gren was unable to dock with it so I reloaded an earlier save before I boarded his ship and tried to fast travel but it wouldn't let me. So I set an outpost down so I could build a landing pad to have my ship spawn on it. Left the planet but I cannot jump to a different star system.

Thank you for including this information, I am glad you were able to proceed here.

Experiencing the same issue here except I am using the Starborn Guardian ship. I am unable to fast travel etc. I have tried various combinations of updating, reloading, and rebooting. Would backing up to a save where I’m still on the Watchtower space station help? Unable to switch home ships at this point in the game.

You should be able to hijack another landed ship on the planet's surface as well to progress.

In the meantime, I will try and reproduce this issue myself with the vanilla Starborn Guardian ship - thank you for the report.

Thank you, I’ll give that a try!

I was able to reproduce this issue (both with the guardian not docking, and fast travel being disabled), and have forwarded both of these issues to the dev team - thank you for the reports. In the meantime, hijacking another ship should allow you to progress, or for PC users you can console a ship to you and enter that/take off to achieve the same thing.

I explored the planet a while but to no avail. There was a Watchtower listening post and a bunch of environmental POIs but no ships to hijack anywhere in sight. I updated the creation and tried Gren again but got the same result with the Guardian ship. I’m on Xbox so no console commands for me. I turned to other creations and found “Portable Vendor” which allowed me to obtain the necessary resources to build a ship landing pad, swapped to a vanilla ship and I was lost in space no more. Thanks again for reporting the issue. A little resourcefulness saved the day.
