Ships disappearing

[John McG]

I have just recently started a new game after getting version 2.0. I slowly built up my Plutarch reputation to +16, and obtained 5 ships, while slowly going through the plot. When I went through the gate in Auspicious Excavation for the first time, in the plot, the 5 ships disappeared, also my reputation with Plutarch went down to -20 which I thought was a bit unfair. I looked in the ships log and they did not say they had been destroyed. However strangely enough 2 other ships which were being constructed in the shipyard did not disappear.
I looked in the saved game and saw the following:
<listener listener="[0x1c047]" event="killed"/>
<listener listener="[0x266f1]" event="killed"/>
<listener listener="[0x266f2]" event="killed"/>
So it looks as if my ships have been destroyed even though there is nothing in the ship's log. This looks like another fault in the game. I will however try and delete that part of the saved game, and see if I get my ships back.

Part of the plot.

Your ships were impounded because you went through the jump gate -- you're now a fugitive of PMC. Once you complete the part of the plot where you capture the Taranis, Borman assaults the ship impound and you get your ships back then.

In regard to rep, no matter what it is, your PMC rep goes to -20 once Yisha forcefully makes you enter the jump gate to DeVries (given that you're now a fugitive of PMC as they were trying to detain you for being an HoA supporter -- again, part of the plot).
