Then I decided to start all over and reloaded the save file. This time I made the Titurel join my squad. As soon as I did this I see the command action change to "waiting for drones". After a few seconds it corrects itself and goes "flying to empty space". Once I saw that I immediately reassigned it the manager, then just a few seconds later it finally goes to trade with the H2O Additives Fac.
I don't know what the problem was but I'm starting to think that Titurel ships in general have issues with trading. I remember a few times I tried using them for trades a long time ago. They were always ridiculously slow especially after finishing trades with that "waiting for drones" command staying up for a long time. You're probably better off selling them and getting a Rahanas or Stryvok for each ware type.
It's not Trading that's wrong, I have a couple of Titurals waiting stations in my game, they're doing fine.
I'd throw in a longshot here to suspect that there are drones that have not self-destruct and are still part of the Titural's property, in use.
I remember once I captured a Fedhelm and had to destroy the Drone Bay in the boarding mission, it had Construction Drones outside repairing it's damaged parts. Once it's Engines were semi-functioning i ordered it to fly to my player owned zone, I assigned it to my Manager.
Wouldn't mine because it left behind it's Construction Drones hadn't self-destructed and were out there somewhere, in it's tasks it said it was recalling drones and there weren't any near it.
So i'm hoping that might be the bug that needs squashing here?
