Bugs - Unexpected game death while boarding

[Remoradfc]

Version: X4 Foundations v7.0 hotfix 1

Unexpected game Death. During boarding operations, if player waits until target loses agro, then docks onto the target being boarded. When ship boarding operation completes and ship is successfully taken over, Game over. Automatically loads to start menu.

Tested while piloting the Geometric Owl, docked onto a Pioneer Okinawa. Boarding operation begun using a M Transport. Then I teleported to Geometric Owl. I wated for agro to go away, then docked with the Okinawa. When Boarding completed successfully. Game went total black screen and loaded to start menu.

I suspect that the game mechanic on ownership transfer is to destroy the old NPC ship to clear any previous orders, scripts and behaviours, then calculate the scuttle damage and ware/equipment losses, and then create the new player-owned ship appropriately along with your surviving marines. Unfortunately the first part of that, if applicable, would usually destroy any ships docked to it that are not in internal storage.

It's like you moving/destroying/rebuilding a dock on a player station that has ships docked there. The ships on affected outside docks are lost.

Interesting. So ships in internal storage (which is a pool of all docks present?) aren't neccesarily destroyed -- assuming there are other docks with available internal storage?

What if there is only one dock at station? ..goes into the void until a new dock is built where it can respawn?

I have the J.P. Morgan's Knife at a dock (actually was bumped into internal storage) I was waiting to leave before removing that dock.. Since it's in internal storage it'll be preserved? (I need not wait for it to leave?).

I was actually going to test if the mission would be okay if I were to nuke the dock with the ship there.. but if internal storage saves it, I'll have to test that some other time I guess... unless, is there a way player can retrived an NPC ship from internal storage? (so I can nuke it. )
