[1.50][Bug][Vanilla][Save]The superhighway from Black Hole Sun V to IV teleports me to Grand Exchange I

[Pares]

Version: 1.50
Language: English
No mods installed at any point during the game

Reproducible. Almost every time when I am controlling the ship and enter the superhighway from Black Hole Sun V to IV, just as I would exit the superhighway, I am teleported to Grand Exchange I, and always to the same position in empty space near my PHQ.

Almost every time, because the first time I load the save, the superhighway works and I exit in Black Hole Sun IV, but every time after that, if I return to BHS V and try to go back to IV again, I am teleported to Grand Exchange I, and again to the exact same position (ship speed is around 4000+m/s after being teleported). And every time I reload the save, the same thing happens.

And if I exit the game, and start it again, on the first load it works, but after that, it teleports me to GE I every time.

If an npc is piloting the ship, the superhighway works. So it seem to only affect the ships I personally control.

Haven't experienced this with any other superhighway.

I did some more tests.

First, it seems that even on the first load the highway is not guaranteed to work.

Second, I tried to order my npc captain a couple times to fly to BHS IV, with a simple "fly to" command, and even though earlier this worked, now anywhere I click in BHS IV, the path is calculated through the ring to Second Contact, and from there to BHS IV, as if the superhighway to BHS IV didn't even exist (maybe the pathfinding AI "sees" the highway leading to Grand Exhange I too?). This happens even if I go EVA, and I am not on board...

Anyway, I saw some posts earlier about questionable pathfinding (the game calculating routs through the ring even if a path through BHS would be closer), and I think this bug might be related to that.

The route through BHS may seem to be "shorter" in terms of gates, but you have to travel in 3K km/s speed (Heavy Fighter on Travel Drive) whereas the speed on the Beltway is 9K+ km/s for the same fighter and last but not least, the travel on the Beltway is automated, whereas the route throught BHS requires manual Fast Travel Drive!!!!!!

I know that many times the ring is faster, but not this time, the superhighway from BHS V to IV is definitely bugged, in my game at least. The fastest way from anywhere inside BHS V to anywhere insinde BHS IV is through the superhighway. But instead of using it, the AI (or at least my ships) turns around and wants to use the ring to get to Second Contact, and from there to BHS IV.

Not to mention the teleportation to Grand Exchange I. Just go ahead and try my save.

I've got exactly the same bug with version 2.0 on Linux.
Entering the super highway from Black Hole SunV (Schwarze Sonne V) to Black Hole Sun IV (Schwarze Sonne IV) teleports Grand Exchange I (Profitabler Handel I).
