My mech is riding my ship

[Kaltornen]

Hi Kinggath team,

I’ve recently discovered AI mech drops which are awesome. However if the mech is still operational after I leave a battle the mech is now riding on top of my ship’s cockpit.

Although this is hilarious, is it intentional?

It took me ages to work out what the strange noise coming from the cockpit was only to zoom out to find my mech astride my ship like a robotic Dragonborn…

Yes but Artoo stays put. My mech knocked my coffee machine off the bench and subsequently became the villain!

I had the same problem, I changed ships, and that went away, but now my mech is stomping around New Atlantis like mechazilla.. I would love to send a screen shot, but also, I am stuck in the quest, keep falling through the space station after many, many reloads of the game, the creation, changing load order etc..

Pretty sure that's why they have the Odin shield generators available. I need to remember to adjust the coloring on mine.

Addendum: Planetside, before exiting the ship, the Mech often clips into the ship and is shuffling around. The ship shakes, you can't get past his legs and the game will even start to lag. Good news: you can shoot the legs, over and over, and eventually kill the mech... then recover the parts from him. Shaking/lag stopped. Waiting to see if when I restart tonight, he is now inert, or if he'll respawn.

EDIT: Nope, the Mech is staying dead, for now, and unfortunately is folded up/clipped inside my ship (he fell down through the ceiling). I can ass tthrough him, though, so I have access to the whole ship, from the cockpit, again.

I can confirm we have a fix for this coming in our second patch update.

Went to a space port, duplicated a cargo hold, deleted old one, installed dupe. This resets your ship, closing doors, etc. It also removed the dead mech that had settled/clipped into the ship. All gone, hasnt reappeared.

@Troglodad - a most excellent solution, thank you very much.

I stopped playing my main save due to the Mech feet blocking my way and who knows how much long BGS is going to take to approve this upcoming patch

Oh and "doggo" doesn't block my path or at least when he does, he moves out of the way like any good NPC

Update: Ugh... I tried it both at my Outpost and in New Atlantis... the Mech still comes back
