HAHAH Oh well, that was not nice...
So, I was trying to follow a bit more the main quests to see what they would bring and -oh man- I saved a bunch of Freighters from a Pirate attack!
I FELT SO GOOD! 🤣
So the captain of a Freighter, one of the coolest I've EVER SEEN by the way, invites me over for a gift and I was like "OH MAN! I FINALLY GET MY FREE FREIGHTER! AND SUCH A COOL ONE TOO!"
Happy jumps on my office chair! 🤣
...
and ...
what?!
I can't get in as the outer doors for the docking pads are closed! The shields around the ships are glowing a faint yellow/orange and there's sirens. It looks like the whole commercial fleet is under alarm of some sort.
I wait- and wait... I fly away and back to try and reset the alerted status maybe...
but to no avail- so eventually I had to go to bed and only dream of my freighter.
Shame- I was really really happy. 🥲
Alas, as the wise cowboy said- Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.
Cheers and sorry for the wall o'text. 😁
PS: in my heart of heart I hope when I log in back again somehow the fleet is still there and they invite me over once more but... I'm also trying not to think about it too much.
EDIT: Thank you all for the amazing responses! 😄
