Sorry, I'm out of options. It's one of those annoying little "features" that builds up frustration.

If you post a save game, they may look into it.

Have you tried replacing the captain? Odds of that working are low, but it's worth a try.

I decided to give it another trade order to make some more money.I was nearby when it disappeared on the way to the trade, and it sucked me along into empty space 70,000 km away from nearest highway.
Good grief.

I had same problem too... I was doing trading with station and after I was done I give trading ship another order for another item to same station..... (trading 2 or more things at same time bugs my ships and get them stuck). Anyway my ship was stuck and everything was grayed out. I used save game editor to check and first order that was finished was not removed. I deleted it and it worked ok after that.
It's not world hunger because we can't feed poor,it's because there will never be enough to feed the rich .....

I have had this problem too. I got out of it by ordering it to follow me, go to another zone, then I was able to issue New Order.

The problem is caused by removing the ship from squad immediately after it has completed a trade, but before it has arrived to its queued position (stack position).

I can provide a save game when I get home, but this problem can be easily reproduced as noted above. Just issue the remove squad/add squad as soon as the ship has announced that it was done with its trading.

@OP: You can sign up for a Google email account and have access to Google drive. Just remember to Share the save game after you upload it.

[EDIT] The above was reproduced in v1.23rc2, YMMV.
