• • Despite leaving the Mothership at a station, I can still see it floating in space in every system (We have not been able to reproduce this bug, but have taken precautions to prevent its recurrence. Please report it if you encounter this issue again).
  
  
• • When I engage in combat within a station, I sometimes receive a “you have been killed” message instantly, even when my health is full. I am forced to reload the game.

• • When the Warp drive is disabled during missions, if I am using a ship with decking on the mothership, I can only warp using the ship I am in. The mothership’s warp drive remains offline.
  
  
• • During station battles, when I approach support buildings near a planet, it throws me into the middle of the battlefield as if I had entered the planet.
