Since a lot of people have had an issue with this in the tutorial and asked about it on Discord, I thought I'd post this here. The tutorial advances when you press the quicksave button (F5). If you run into the Hegemony patrol without saving every time the tutorial prompts you (it does this quite often) then the tutorial won't advance to the stage where you get access to the transponder.

Another thing is that you need to get three D mod ships in your fleet during the fleet salvaging part. If you don't, it won't progress

This thread is 4 years old and the problem hasn't been fixed?

This is brutal guys. My first time playing starsector met by instant frustration within minutes of starting. How turn on transponder.... after looking for a half hour, turns out the ship doesn't even have one. Great tutorial, top notch. Probably no point in changing or fixing it, cause it's not like a tutorial is important. *** it right?

Hi - I'm sorry about the trouble! It has in fact been... well, "fixed" is too strong a word, since apparently it's still possible to miss, but the text telling you to save is more prominent and flashes.

lol - I still just missed it until I realized the tutorial wasn't progressing. Until the player is FORCED to quicksave with ZERO other options available, it won't be enough and people will muck up the tutorial.
