Looks like multiple people have reported this issue. I suggest you chime in on one of the bug reports - will likely be more helpful to you.
Here's one of them -> https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Mission-for-the-vanguard-follow-Gunny-bug/m-p/9539568#M344
or you can search for "gunny" - multiple posts.

@vekkiuz Took me a couple of more restarts and then I managed to get past it. No idea but what I ended up trying was to not touch any input until after all the initial talking was done and some of the ships had left. But maybe that was just a coincidence and it was just that I had retried the mission enough times to get lucky.

Same here. Quest VR link, RTX2070, Ryzen 3900. None of the solutions suggested here seem to achieve anything.

I am having the same issue. Very disappointing. I have been waiting months to play this, finally get it downloaded, and now can't get past the first mission. Typical EA.

Same here. I stopped and they all flew in circles around me. I got bored and started crashing my X-Wing against the big ships to see if Gunny crashed her ship, too. I did notice some Y-Wings throwing off sparks, though lol. Can’t believe I’m stuck in this part, not to mention that my rudders can’t be set up. Can set one direction but not the opposite. Ugh.

I have the same bug. But i don't use VR.
I start to follow Gunny. And after a short distance she starts to hovering around me. And i can't do anything

I'm playing on PS4 Pro and Mission 1 even after leaving it off for the night and after an update that was installed earlier the bug still remains. I follow Gunny till he starts flying in circles. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG SO I CAN CONTINUE THE STORY.

As soon as mission starts don't do anything, start to follow gunny once everyone has stopped talking. This worked for me.
Thank you @appelgren00
