[2.0] Bug, parts of "Joint Operation" mission trigger incorrectly.

[Scoob]

Hi,

I reported this originally some time ago, but it's still a problem.

Basically, as part of the "Joint Operation" mission, which triggers the second Stage 1 of the Plot URB Forge is complete, you're asked to meet a Mining ship HoA are sending to DeVries. The mission direction asks you to rendezvous in the Zone Furnace Chamber, Sector Glaring Truth.

It's at this point I prefer to spend a little time feeding up my URV Forge and doing other things, so avoid Furnace Chamber until I'm ready. However, it seems that after a certain amount of time (a fair few hours in game) this mission Triggers regardless.

I.e. I travelled to the Zone Fervid Corona, and this triggered the next step of the mission. I got the "here she is" message you get when the mining ship arrives, and all the following dialogue - despite being in a TOTALLY different Zone and there's no ship there.

As this has just happened again for me in my 2.0 fresh start, I thought I should report it. I'm unsure if this will eventually break the plot or not, as of course I'm not in the Zone the mission script seems to think I am!

Here's my save - after loading this, I fly to Gushing Spring then on to Fervid Corona and the mission triggers. Hopefully loading this will re-create it for you too, so you can see what's going on.

Cheers,

Scoob.

Oh, an FYI, if I ask a ship to jump me out of the Sector, I bypass the bugged plot trigger so can carry on delaying the plot. It's just flying in the Skunk normally to Fervid Corona that's just started triggering it. Note: since the plot objective was added, I've flown through Fervid Corona many times, so why only now it's triggering the plot update I don't know. Must be some time thing I guess.

Update:

This bug is getting worse.

I've managed to avoid the bugged mission trigger by avoiding the invalid Zones that seem to trigger it, as previously detailed. Now however, it's just broken even more.

In this save, I'm in Zone Cuspid Splint > Inner World > ALBION. I set my autopilot to fly me to Lookout Alpha and, the second I enter the highway I get the same "She's here" comment from Yihsa, and the plot mission triggers, yet I am in an entrely different System!

I now cannot load this save and enter the highway, without this bugged mission triggering. I cannot do the mission as I'm in a different SYSTEM - did I mention that?

With my save above - vanilla game, 2.0 Plot start - hopefully the devs can see what's going on.
