Is this something you've always been able to do? I had tried doing this a couple days ago and it would give me a notification that the thrusters don't work so it can't be summoned
I just tested it now and yes it does work. I was on my standard save, found the crashed ship, claimed it and then flew in my MAIN ship to the Anomaly. In the Anomaly, switch docked ship to the crashed one - it appears on landing pad with thrusters and pulse repaired. warped to station and sold it. Just like the video says.
Edited: OH I read the rest of the comments and summoning the ship specifically at the Anomaly and then teleporting to a station to get the salvage services is the key. Once you set that ship to "active" at the anomaly, it's the ship that appears at the station with you when you teleport.
I wonder if that means you could do this from the freighter or planetary base as well, if you've built a teleporter there. Sounds like the key is just getting the ship set as active then getting to a station via warp gate
Yup, every time you enter the space anomaly, your ship's thrusters will be repaired. This bc Polo loves to fix things and he sneak under your ship while you talk to his hologram :p
Lol I use my freighter to do this and use the portal on it. As long as you have a portal, anywhere is fine. Jus throw it down or summon it and do portal jump, scrap and so on.
I'm not 100% sure that you can summon the crashed ship to the station. You definitely could summon to your freighter, if you like, and use the teleporter from there.
Eh, i tried doing this at one point. Instead of working, it told me it was damaged Also it's like, not even a handful of carbon, ferrite, and DH. What's the point of gathering resources if i don't do anything with them lol Also it's probably faster to just fix the two things you need to fix instead of waiting through a whole ass loading screen lmao
Re-read your comment. And I also re-tested this. If you try to summon the crashed ship to the Anomaly - it will work. If you try to summon it to the space-station - that doesn't work and you get that message.
Your comment made me wonder if I happened to have been in Creative mode at the time, so I re-did this just now in Normal mode. If it doesn't work for you, please reply and specify exactly each step and step you did. If you tried to summon the crashed ship to the space-station - that will NOT work. If you fly your good ship to the Anomaly, and summon the crashed ship there - this works perectly. From the Anomaly, teleport to the local station - which is super-fast - and scrap it.
@ i flew my good ship to the space station and tried to summon the broken ones. It said they were too damaged exept for the one that had working landing gear. All the others i had to reload in my capitol ship, fix the landing gear and then i could summin and scrap in the station
@lunialation666 well, the video clearly said you need to fly to the Anomaly, not to the station. Flu your good ship to the Anomaly. You will be able to summon your crashed ship, and then teleport to the station.
I don't believe so, but you don't even have to fix *any* part to scrap it, and I am sure that some people are fixing the launch thrusters and pulse engine - at the very least. No need for the f word, though.
After I first started scrapping ships I built resource bases just to fully repair the crashed ships then scrap them. It was something I liked doing. I scrapped over 20 ships on one planet. Now I start new saves. The goal is to repair my ship then find a crashed ship and scrap it. By the time I scrap it I have the advanced mining laser and the economy scanner installed. The save I started earlier I played a little longer than normal and also had a nice A class Royal multitool fully repaired and a B class multitool I got from a VyKeen fully repaired. I also had found a couple of S class upgrades. Tonight took around 1hour 20 minutes. One of my fastest times to scrap the ship and install the advanced mining laser and economy scanner was 45 minutes and have a second ship scrapped by 55 minutes. Going to the space station that early is a little harder since it isn't marked for me yet and I have to find it.
Usually, when one uses the word "glitch" in NMS, we refer to glitch-building techniques. I think it is likely that HG was aware that you can summon a crashed ship to the Anomaly, because like @reb5824 wrote below - they tested summoning a crashed ship to the space-station and that failed. I didn't have time to test if you can summon one to your freighter, but another viewer mentioned that they were using the same method with their freighter, so that clearly works. Is it a "glitch"? In the raw sense of the word - of course.
Is this something you've always been able to do?

Same. Either we are misremembering, or this is a new bug.

In the Anomaly, switch docked ship to the crashed one - it appears on landing pad with thrusters and pulse repaired. warped to station and sold it. Just like the video says.
I only get that notification if I try to summon it in the space station, summoning in the anomaly works fine

I had no clue about this but it makes sense, thanks for this!

Nice tip💪💪
You truly a good guy😊
It's cool, but honestly it seems a bit longer, I'd just do it the regular way. Still cool tho
That's great!
Lol I use my freighter to do this and use the portal on it. As long as you have a portal, anywhere is fine. Jus throw it down or summon it and do portal jump, scrap and so on.
Do you have to do the anomaly leg? Why not just fly to the system’s Space Station and do the swap there?
I'm not 100% sure that you can summon the crashed ship to the station. You definitely could summon to your freighter, if you like, and use the teleporter from there.
@ yeah I’m not sure either. Will experiment perhaps this evening.
I tried summoning a burning ship to a space station.It didn't work.I saw the anomaly trick on a yt recently too. It worked!
Let us know...
Ok I checked it out. It works as you describe. Trying to call from Space Station doesn’t work - message “the ship requires repair”
Awesome. So simple.
Shhh don’t tell hello games hehe
Eh, i tried doing this at one point. Instead of working, it told me it was damaged
Also it's like, not even a handful of carbon, ferrite, and DH. What's the point of gathering resources if i don't do anything with them lol
Also it's probably faster to just fix the two things you need to fix instead of waiting through a whole ass loading screen lmao
Oh, but you missed the point. Teleporting from the anomaly to the local system's station is super fast!
Re-read your comment. And I also re-tested this. If you try to summon the crashed ship to the Anomaly - it will work. If you try to summon it to the space-station - that doesn't work and you get that message.
Yea it doesnt work unless the landing gear is fixed if landing gear are broken it will say that the ship is too damaged to summon

The seninal ships are way easier and way more money
Nice
Are people really repairing the entire ship just to fucking scrap it?
I don't believe so, but you don't even have to fix *any* part to scrap it, and I am sure that some people are fixing the launch thrusters and pulse engine - at the very least.
No need for the f word, though.
@goodguysfree at one time you did countless updates later you don't.

Quite a challenge you gave yourself! Nice...
So a glitch
