alright heres the situation
i was playing with leetzero and nav on LZ's server, and i do the thing to fix my ship's FTL drive; the server crashes with a runtime error, and when it boots back up, my ship is in this state

the ship's drive is still broken, but the option to fix it doesn't appear anymore.
one thing i thought to do was to upgrade the ship once, maybe that fixes it. i did all the quests, went to the penguin bay, forget no. it's not openable.
does anyone have any solution to this other than just using a brand new character
