Watchtower ships question (with kinda spoilers)

[BigBeardBaron]

I've been trying to capture a watchtower ship or two, but I can't seem to fast travel anywhere with it?
Everytime I go to plot a course or travel to a different planet, a message comes up in the corner of the screen saying "You cannot fast travel from this location".

I'm far along enough in the missions that I have the ability to pilot them now and not just salvage, and tried out on a few different variations of WT ships (corvette, destroyer, battleship). I can board them and fly them about the space it's loaded in, but can't go anywhere else.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks!

I captured a Corvette in the Shoza system to try out. I was able to fast travel without a problem. Does the the issue happen with vanilla captured spacecraft?

Hi there, are you on our latest build? (1.0.2v4)

Which platform are you playing on, and could you please share your modlist with us?

I ran into this last night also.

X-Box Series X, current build.

Scenario: I've completed the WT main quests and while I come across listening posts yet I have not encountered any more WT ships until I randomly came across a battle between WT ships and spacers. Cool. I managed to board and claim a WT corvette but ran into the same issue of not being able to travel anywhere due to the same "You cannot fast travel from this location" issue. I tried several things, like switching back to my normal ship then back to the WT ship, saving then exiting then restarting, trying to travel from both the star map and from the mission list, nothing worked. After several attempts what did work was selecting 'Talk to Gren about my salvaged ships' to be my only active mission then while in the WT ship I was able to find the blue dot for the mission marker and hit "X" to travel to the Stardock.

I wasn't expecting to come across any more WT ships (since I thought I read here that after the main quest not to expect any more WT ship encounters) so it was cool to watch the WT vs spacers ship battle and jumping in with my fleet, and I was able to capture a different WT ship type to add to the collection, but being able to get the ship back to friendly space was a pain.

EDIT: I may not have been on the current build as I thought I was. Bethesda needs to fix their stuff on X-Box Creations.
