[BUG] 1.17 Trading:

[Thar]

Version: 1.17 en
Campaign - unmodified

My trading loop:

Step 1. I'm ordering my freighter to sell wares, it will then fly to the selected station and then wait there forever. The Infoscreen claims that there are drones in use to exchange the wares, but in fact they do nothing. The wares are gone tho, but the trade isn't finished. (doesn't matter if i wait 20 minutes or an hour)

Step 2. I clear the trade -queue. Result: my captain still has the last trading order as his current command.

Step3: Removing the freighter from squad and adding it again. This will clear the last trading command. Still it doesnt get me anywhere and my goods are still gone.
-Back to step 1.

The same loop can be reproduced with buying wares, except for the loosing my goods part.

I just wanted to confirm that this is happening to all my savegames from previous versions of the game now and it happens to all NPC traders too.

All stations are now blocked by ships not trading at the trade-ports. Nothing works anymore in the known universe. Guess I'll have to start over ...

Same applies to shipyards btw: When I dock any ship to upgrade or repair it, it will be stuck in there forever. Also happens on the jump-fuel recharge station. All Capship docking went non-functional with 1.17 for me

And on an old save where I still had that little Gigurum Liquid transporter - guess what: It doesnt even approach docking ports now. Has the trading in the queue but keeps following me or just flies in a straight line

EDIT:
And I can now confirm that this bug is also present in a completely new storyline game and free play mode - though it is not a 100% thing - just a high chance that cargo drones get used (as shown on the info panel for the ship) but never appear in space and no cargo transfer happens.
