I've been loving Everspace 2, and after completing the X Marks the Spot mission, where you meet Khala, I found myself on Athor I looking at what to do next. The mission told me I'm looking for a wreck, ok no problem. I search around the caves and complete some puzzles on Athor I but nothing seems to be happening to point me in the right direction. Under the missions tab for Picking Up the Pieces, there is no information on what system the wreck is supposed to be in, it's just blank. Looking at some YouTube playthroughs, the mission marker is supposed to pop up for Athor Orbit where Khala's wreck is located after you complete X Marks the spot. But I got nothing.

I did a couple of side missions, visited a few bases, answered a few distress calls, followed some nearby undiscovered sites, but the Athor Orbit marker will simply not appear. I am gutted, because I've played this game for 30+ hours and I can't finish it. I've restarted my PS5, I've redownloaded the game. I thought to reload a previous save, but it's made too many autosaves and that is no longer an option.

Am I missing something obvious? Did anyone else get the this? I don't want to start all over, although I hear the puzzle section of that mission is a bit of a turd, I'd like to make that judgement for myself.

Please help a guy out!

That's no good! We're inspect this situation and see if there's an outlying factor that has somehow prevented the marker from appearing for you.

I'm running the segment where the marker gets assigned, and I'm not able to prevent it from getting assigned. Obviously, the issue exists because it happened to you, so I'm looking for additional insight. Were there any interactions or tasks that you were doing at the time of progressing the mission that may have interfered with it? This is a hard question so don't feel the need to dig too deeply on it, though any info gives us a better sense how this happened and how we can fix it.
