Same problems for me on the New Frontier server...the quest seems to be bugged...wonder why no one complains about it!!!
Quoted from "Diktator" i'm glad you found it Hello, About the same quest i am stucked also. Tried it now so many times...when i have to boost the motor he never comes online. Restart the reactor or use the repairman leads to nothing else than a keeping offline motor....what about that horrible Murphy? Greets Braaf
