I can no longer board my other ships

[BeGaDaButcher]

Hi Team - Sorry got another bug since the update.

I can no longer board my other fleet ships.

I was able originally which was a huge quality of life change as I could store most of my resources on my larger ship that also has my skydrops.

Now even in a safe system like new Atlantis planet, I am able to select the ships but when I am within 500m I no longer see the dock option.

I have deleted, exited, re-downloaded the mod a few times but still no luck. Also tried things like docking and un-docking from skydrop.

Anything else I can try?

Thank you for the report - I've heard similar reports and am looking into this. In the meantime, do you have any repro steps? For example, was it immediately after installing the update or do you recall this happening after specific actions were taken?

If you are on PC, please could you drop us a save file here?

Current repro steps from my session this morning (need more testing though):

• Does not seem to be caused by vanilla combat: ship bounty hunters came after me but I was still able to board once combat ended (their shields stayed up).
• Might be caused when triggering relay fights. As I did one right after bounty hunter space battle and the issue returned (both my two fleet ships).
• Might be caused by the fix for when fleet ships repair. My other fleet ships mostly have EM weapons as not to steal my kills as I level up the fusion perk. So during big fights when they get badly damaged after a big relay fight, then you warp away they stay as allied ship status. So their name is blue (instead of white/light blue) and you lose the dock functionality. Due to my EM setup, they might be getting their butts kicked hard and need major repairs. While my earlier bounty hunters fight was more easy so they did not need full repairs (Lowest red hull damage sustained to both).

Found a reliable (but annoying) fix:

• You need to make the problematic ship your homeship again. Then switch homeships again. (dont need to go fully into the builder). You then need to manually put back the ship's cargo and reassign their crew. I have two other ships in my fleet. If I do this fix for one, but not the other: the other still stays blue (instead of light blue) and does not have the dock functionality restored.

If I find the time, I will take a separate offline backup of my save then strip all other mods from my save and try line up a golden repro save for you.
