I don't know, I like the idea of the elevator, but it's pretty impractical, considering that the elevator would be in constant movement as the station it's attached to would be in orbit.
I think the ship is better, but we do already have the Sunbeam.
What we need is some sort of Torgaljin space station, with its AI bent on finding the deceased crew, by any means necessary.

Adapted from the wiki article on space elevators:
A space elevator would consist of a cable with one end attached to the surface near the equator and the other end in space beyond geostationary orbit. The competing forces of gravity, which is stronger at the lower end, and the outward/upward centrifugal force, which is stronger at the upper end, would result in the cable being held up, under tension, and stationary over a single position.
Instead of a phasegate, i imagine a man-made facility, please note, not alien, man, this facility would have 20 teleporters that have green glowing tops and bottoms, because of ionic energy, they would beam u up to 1 of 20 teleporters on the vesper space station. The teleporters are like phasegates, but much different. The teleporters, however, are under high security because they are a direct link to the vesper (don't want any evil precursor, or other aliens destroying the vesper from the inside out.
Why not have a pod/station that can transfer momentum to an additional dimensions and then harvest it... Kind of like a giant flywheel or spring.
So you'd have a pod with apparent anti-gravity - but only very temporarily - capable of landing briefly before rising to *almost* its original height and location? The vesper (original location) would then add energy to the pod.
So, that is an example of other (which is in this case almost a combination of all three).

Geosynchronous orbit.

That's from a much bigger comment I wrote in another thread (https://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/154692/new-artic-dlc-addition-the-vesper), explaining why space elevators may be more practical than other means, especially phase gates.
