Captains,

We are aware of the bug that causes the loss of crew when you send your main ship to the fleet.

The fix will be deployed tomorrow, January 27th.

Until then, please send ships to the fleet from docked ships. If you want to add your current main ship to the fleet, switch to another ship first
