I think this is a bug? I read that this apparently happened to some people with some previous expedition reward ships, but it’s the first I’ve seen it. Steam version.
When I tried to claim the ship, my only claim option was to buy it for 1400 nanites. I hadn’t that much left, I basically spent all my nanites on minotaur AI and upgrades (because fuck having to fight yourself in this game). Since I couldn’t buy, I had a warning I would not be able to claim it later, and even though I cancelled, while I was trying to farm for nanites that game switched to normal save and I couldn’t claim anymore (even from Anomaly).
I’ve confirmed in another save that the reward is available, but since I don’t have that much nanites, I haven’t try claiming yet, just in case it got eaten up again.
I had that egg bug too a few days ago, but it’s supposed to be fixed in the latest patch. I could hatch the egg since anyway.
Ooo okay I’ll have to try again :) tha ks for the heads up that it got patched
Yeah, the critter was not what I expected, but it looks kinda cool.
