manager suddenly disappears - devs investigating

[Dirk-Jan]

So suddenly I got a new upkeep mission: supply manager to player station. It seems my 5star station manager went on a holiday unannounced.
Thank you very much Egosoft; Apart from being stuck in transporters and disappearing guild missions on a regular basis, you keep suprising!

Check the finances at the station. They can also evaporate with the manager.

Good to know. Luckily mine just took off without grabbing the money bag.
phew...

I expect that any savegame where this issue has occured may be too late to really help trace the issue. If this happens again, could you provide the previous savegame where the manager is still there and let us know the station. In the meantime, I'll give it some thought on how it could happen. Some info which could help:
- Were you in the same sector as the station
- Have you recently visited that station
- Was the manager previously assigned to something?
- Has the station suffered destroyed modules at some point

If it's a Shipyard or Wharf he may have been donated as service crew to a newly built ship.
