This is another hotfix (0.15.0.18) which addresses some more issues reported by players in our recent Fire in the Hold update.

Specifically:

  • Docking to a space station with another of your ships already docked there should no longer suffocate them instantly.

  • NAV station orbits should no longer be invisible.

  • Ceres plot should no longer end abruptly due to a missing encounter.

  • Using the skills/traits part of character creation extensively, and then undoing it, should no longer cause a null.

  • Several null reference fixes in the NAV and Docking/COMMS UIs.

  • The hallway conduit tutorial should no longer break if you leave the map and return mid-tutorial.

  • Particles spawned in gas exchanges should no longer cause null exceptions.

Saves started in 0.15.0.0 and later should be compatible.

Let us know if you give this patch a shot, and if it helps! We'll continue to work on fixes and polish for a while, as players work their way through the new systems and content.

Best, Dan
