The Undead Ship is one of the first side missions you’re going to come across while playingEverspace 2. This mission is entirely optional and doesn’t affect the main story, however, it’s still worth completing it anyway for the rewards. Besides, it will also help you get accustomed to some of the puzzles you’ll encounter later on in the game.

Before you can unlock The Undead Ship you’ll need to progress the story up to the point where Dax sends you to find and activate three signal distractors, which he affectionately nicknames “bean bags.” You’ll get that mission about an hour or so into the game.
Unlocking The Mission
you’re able to pick up the mission from one of the three locations that also contains a bean bag. More specifically,the CETO Outer Rim. It’s worth fully exploring this area since it contains some other nice rewards, including a Mainframe Component. You’ll also find The Flying Duchess Shop here, whose owner gives players their very first Challenge.
As soon as you enter the area you’ll spota blue marker with a gear icon pointing toward a nearby escape pod. Follow the marker and interact with the pod to find the previous owner’s logbook, which mentions that a freighter filled with loot can be foundclose to the planet Nemertes. Once you’ve read the logbook, The Undead Ship mission will automatically trigger and you’ll get a waypoint showing the freighter’s location on your map.
Completing The Mission
You may have to fight a couple of enemies once you reach the location but otherwise, things should be pretty quiet. This challenge primarily revolves around puzzle-solving rather than combat. Approach the wreck of the freighter and you’ll spot a generator behind a hangar door.Shoot the generator through the cracks in the wallto destroy it and open the door. Once inside, you’ll find a room with a barrier and a generator on each side of it.Move the debris blocking the generator on the rightbefore shooting it through the cracks and then turn around and destroy the generator on the left to open the barrier.
Interact with the machine in the next room to dispense an Unstable Power Core. Grab the core and enter the next room where you’ll spot a Power Core Socket behind a locked hangar door. Aim at the socket andthrow the core through the wall to open the door. Go through the door and at the far end of the next room you’ll find a Bulletproof Container with an Uncommon weapon and a Common piece of loot. At this point the mission will be marked as complete, however, you can go back outside and explore the area to find a couple of other containers along with some Iron Deposits.
