So here I am in the Heretic system.
I destroyed all of those damn pterovores (or whatever they are called).
The Explorer is floating adrift, but I rescued the crew and got them to the Iocrym base. I went around visiting the other bases, got their info, saved several of them from the Sentinels (2 of the research bases were destroyed though) and returned the info to Kate and the scientists.
I completed the Neurohack.
Kate and the scientists shut down the Iocrym devices that are orbiting the star.
Everybody I talk to seems to think I should be able to leave the system and continue on with my journey. But the only stargate is the one I arrived through!
Obviously I am missing something-could someone tell me what it is and what I need to do?

Location: Hmm... I'm confused. Anybody have a starmap to the Core?

Ok, here's the rundown:
1. Did you get Kate the Heretic Research roms? You need 2 roms to undo the quarantine.
2. If the quarantine is lifted, go to the farthest planet (past the nebula) and stay alert.
3. There will be a stargate control rod in the ship near the planet.
4. Get the rod
5. Dock with the stargate
6. Use the rod on the stargate.
7. Congrats, and post scores here! ;)

So what do I do if there is no ship near that planet? I tried waiting for nearly 20 minutes and no ship has showed up yet.

O.o something's wrong with your game.
If you are playing Vanilla you can just upload your .sav file and we can look at what's going on.
Try to use the stargate to gate out.

Well, I'm not playing a vanilla game. And I did use the stargate to gate out, but it simply took me back to a previous system.
The extensions I am using are:
Godmode (by PM)
Items Pack 912 (by PM)
Battle Arena Extension (by TheLastBrunnenG)
NewWeapons (by TheLastBrunnenG)
Communications Array
WeaponsExtended3
SFItemGraphicsLT v010 1_04
and 1 new player's ship of my own design
Any thoughts as to the possible problem? Does anyone know what the trigger is that makes this ship appear?

I meant this stargate, if you don't have it then your game's bugged.
On a related note (well no, not really), there is a Weapons Extended 4 now ;)
Notice that the stargate does NOT rotate. This is the one I'm talking about.
The ship should be next to it.

That's what I was afraid of.
In my game, the planet is on the opposite side of the system and there is no stargate near it.
Thanks for the info about the Weapons 4 extension.
If you know of some way I can "jump start" the appearance of the stargate, let me know, okay?

I could get you some code, but that would be cheating :(
Good luck on your next run I guess :?
