1.0 HF1 BUG Stuck pilot on ship's ladder - Fix coming in 1.30

[Tyrant597]

So I have a ship that is docked, and I ordered a pilot to take over, and he is stuck halfway up the ladder going up to the ship. I can talk to him, but firing/moving him doesn't work. I can assign new captains to the ship, and I even assigned him to a another ship, he's out working on it while also stuck halfway up the ladder of this one lol. Can't figure out any way to move the ship, it's just stuck on the dock, I can click on the pilots seat, but it wont let me get in.
Here is a link to the save file, the stuck ship is the Kestrel Sentinel. Also of note, I did claim this ship after the pilot bailed I guess, I wasn't around when it happened.

Yes I'm afraid the devs know of occasions when NPCs can get stuck on ladders when given new instructions whilst in transit between ships etc. I'll see if they can offer advice to make the save usable.

I've had the same issue with the mission: "Deliver a Specialist to the Front Lines"

The NPC is either stuck in the transporter elevator not wanting to walk to my ship or the NPC is stuck on the ladder. After the mission was completed the NPC is stuck on the ladder forever.

In space (look where the ladder is deployed)

In station when she refuses to go to the ship:

I had the same problem as the previous poster. Accepted a taxi mission, the mission resolved but the NPC is forever stuck there. I think it happened because I undocked when the NPC was still on the ladder

Thanks for these further examples. As I said, the devs are aware of these issues and are working on them as and when time permits. Some are just comically cosmetic effects of switching to 3rd person view, while others are serious because they immobilise NPCs and ships and/or prevent missions from completing.

Having the same problem and it's currently immobilized two of my ships.

Captured a Falcon Vanguard, assigned a crew to the Captain role once I got it back to station, and he's just stuck on the ladder. Can't issue new orders and can't get into the flight seat.
Later captured a Kestrel Sentinel and was able to assign him to that ship. This caused him to duplicate where he was still on the ladder, but also in the new ship. Flew him to a wharf to sell the ship, and now that one is bugged too with him stuck in the cockpit, unwilling to take new commands and can't get out of the seat.
