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.

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.

The NMS wiki is pretty thorough. For everything else, there’s Lemmy and Reddit.
