Boarding mission persists, cannot be aborted.

Post by pH7.0 » Wed, 31. May 23, 05:58

Game version 6.00 (499061) + all DLC
No scripts or mods
Stranded gamestart
Issue: I tasked a ship to board a large miner, then cancelled the order before pod launch because the risk levels always reset to a default which I do not want.
While the ship is now happily doing other things (including several subsequent completed boardings of different vessels) the mission "boarding" remains in my current mission list. I cannot abort it (the button is greyed out), and it continues to demand that I reduce the hull to 80%.

Is there any way to remove this mission?

A link to a vanilla save showing the issue would likely be more useful to the devs for their investigation than a screenshot confirming what you have already said.

I have never encountered this situation in play myself, but is there any *old* boarding order in the boarding ship's order queue (on the ship's behaviour screen) that you could perhaps cancel?

EDIT: Oh, it seems to have been a problem across many game versions. Link. Various work arounds are offered in the onward linked thread there but no actual solution.

Thanks for your reply Alan,
your search skills across the forums are clearly better than mine!
I'm happy to provide a save game if there is any interest in examining/debugging this, but given that this is a longstanding issue I will hold off unless someone specifically requires it.

It's not gamebreaking, merely an annoyance, so I'm sure the devs have bigger fish to fry.
cheers
