Hi I have a problem whenever I go to the Gate. I went on my save, unlocked the gate with 20 core fragments and found Esther, only Nuru and the green artifact were there, even though I never completed the green artifact mission on that save. Is there any way to fix this glitch? P.S I did complete the "fetch the floran artifact" quest on a DIFFERENT save.
Not a glitch. Players aren't really "saves" beyond their inventories, ships, learned recipes, etc. There's only one universe file that all of your players use, and the Outpost is part of that universe.
I don't believe it will. You should still be able to get all the appropriate quests. Some shops might be open sooner than normal for new characters, but nobody is forcing you to use them before you should be able to.
