I'm not sure if I'll be going on the expedition now. There is a bug with recalled ships on planet surfaces. I recalled my DBX earlier from my SRV only to watch fly down and crash into the planet's surface, subsequently destroying it. There is an open bug report, however I doubt it will be fixed before the expedition since there was a patch released today.

A rebuy is of little consequence to me, but potentially losing exploration data would not be pleasant. There's a week to think things through and hope for another patch, but I thought I'd offer a head's up.

Sure this is a new bug? I hear about at least one of these a week and I have since we have been able to land.

Never said it was a "new" bug. In fact I said there was an open ticket.

In fact, it is just a question. I wanted to make sure we weren't dealing with something new that was introduced by the server update today that could impact the expedition in ways that were not already calculated for. I'm sure FDev will take care of you, since this has been an issue for almost a year now.

This happened to me a while back - but turns out it was mis-managed power settings onboard. When i powered up the planetary hanger it took offline some other systems, including (accidentally) the thrusters. so when the ship respawned in my instance the thrusters were automatically offline and it ust crashed to the surface.

Lesson learned: I am not a smart man :mad:

Don't be so hard on yourself. If it's any consolation to you, you're not the only one. That is exactly what happened to me. :rolleyes: I just bought the DBX after the update to see how it was after the buff. Through all the kitting and engineering (and there is a lot of engineering) I completely overlooked properly setting up the power management. As soon as I read your post I knew what had happened. I didn't have to wait until I was back in the game.

The upside is at least this happened now while still in the bubble instead later during the expedition, hundreds or thousands of LYs outside of the bubble.
