[2.0 released] Autopilot + Drone + Superhighway = Interesting bug

(As the post was moved from the beta forum, I can now edit my posts so that the topic is a bit less messy.)

Hello,

Here is an interesting bug that corrupts save file. Please follow instructions to reproduce.

Download this archive that contains 3 save files:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yx3ag0f58mf1n ... 0report.7z

(1) Load the "save_010.xml" save file.
(2) Activate autopilot "SHIFT+A"
(3) Press T and use the only available drone.
(4) Watch yourself being teleported back when the Skunk enters the superhighway.
(5) You lose controls over the Skunk in the superhighway, and after exiting.
(6) After exiting, save and reload. You'll regain controls, but you'll be unable to use the drone (animation goes and immediatly reverses) and an upkeep mission "Acquire pilot for Assassin ROV" will be in your missions panel.

You can compare the two situations with the 2 other save files:
- "save_008.xml" is the same after-state but without triggering the bug.
- "save_009.xml" is the same after-state but having triggered the bug.

I hope that'll help,

Regards,

ybeline
