Same, was rather upset when I had to roll with the shitty starting ship for longer because of the nanite charge on the other expedition ships.

I can understand putting that condition on past ships, so you can't cheese too much on a new game/expedition (I don't think it was necessary, but I get why they'd do it).
The shitty part is that it did so too on the expedition quest reward. Like, it skipped the final reward forever on my expedition save because suddenly it randomly required nanites to claim.
And I checked the quicksilver bot afterwards, the ship is shown as already claimed, so I can't even farm and try again.
Within the Expedition, you will get the ship as part of the storyline for free. If you go to the Quicksilver vendor to try to claim it, it will take nanites.
Except that doesn't work. I had the nanite requirement as I claimed the reward form the expedition tab. I literally didn't check the quicksilver bot before ending the expedition.
And a short while after I couldn't pay for the reward, my save converted to a normal game and the expedition tab disappeared.
Technically I have "claimed" it, as it is unlocked in the quicksilver vendor, but on my expedition save it's marked as already redeemed, and... Well no ship.
If I remember correctly, once I finished the final battle the ship automatically landed nearby, ready to be claimed. I don't think I even claimed it in the Expedition tab before it happened. I know I wouldn't have had 1400 nanites.
It's possible you missed the ship or that the expedition glitched. The bug might have gotten patched in an update but it didn't matter to you because your game had already converted to Normal. Poking around Reddit, it sounds like others had similar problems claiming the ship.
If it was there and I missed it somehow (doubt it, I spent a while in the area patching up my minotaur etc), there is no reason for the buying interface to even show up. I think that definitely counts as a bug.
I don't know if it's a glitch or if it's purposeful, but I also had to pay 1400 nanites for the ship. I didn't mind cuz I had the nanites on my main save.
The glitch that's bothering me is that I can't hatch my reward egg. When I do the egg just disappears from my inventory :(
I had that egg bug too a few days ago, but it's supposed to be fixed in the latest patch. I could hatch the egg since anyway.
Ooo okay I'll have to try again :) tha ks for the heads up that it got patched
Yeah, the critter was not what I expected, but it looks kinda cool.
