I don't know if this is a bug or I have missed something. Just fought my way through the Ilmarinen doing the story quest. I get to the end, read all the messages. At the last message it powers down the ship - turning off the teleporters. How do you turn it back on? I have been through the entire ship and am soon running out of air and I am nowhere near my ship which seems to be 10km away in space. What do you do now?
I usually teleport back from the Ilmarinen to my ship and then fly there withmy ship because I like having medical supplies near and a place to store loot. But that does not help you i know... To turn power back on you will need to core the thing so its a base of yours. I also do that to be able to pick up the teleporter and other goodies.
As above, I also teleport back and fly there. The initial teleport is good to get there and place a map marker to follow back, but yeah, if you're already there you'll need to recore it, otherwise, get ready for a long space-walk. So far, my longest has been 12.7 miles. Brrr.
