'Plot Missions' list is empty - no waypoints being displayed, yet plot triggers

[Seidr]

Help, please! I've just got past the part of the plot where you jump back into Albion, and have to almost immediately retreat back into Canteran space. Once jumping back in, and going a few jumps down, a cut scene states that the battle of the Albion->Canteran solidified Plutarch control of both systems..

..after this, nothing. There is nothing listed in my 'Plot Missions' list, and no waypoint shown, although I did manage to get another piece of the plot to fire off by heading back to Corona, after which I was told to goto a jump beacon in a near-by system to look for straggling survivors..no way point, no mission listing, no nothing..

Should I just give up, and start a new game (as this one has obviously just bugged out)? I've spent over 30 hrs to get to this point, by fighting through the bugs, repeating steps again and again, and now to be stopped by ANOTHER bug just feels gutting.

<rant>Seeing as Steam refused a refund for this obviously unfinished game, I'm determined to get at least some enjoyment out of it. How anyone who releases a title with such a low quality of this can rightly call themselves a developer, I do not know. </rant>

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone else experienced this? Any work arounds? Thanks
