[#3511] 7.50 I am stalked by an erroneous crew pod

Load and look outside the bridge or go to external view.

There is a crew transfer pod following this ship. I don't know why exactly, as I've only ever hired crew for it while docked, but maybe one was too slow to board. It catches up if I park long enough, but it can't land. When I fly away it slowly follows me (and provides map visibility, oddly enough).

While I have no save evidence to share, I had a seemingly random Pod dock with my ship the other night. I'd not done any crew transfer - I'm aware the physical arrival of the Pod can occur some time after the crew member is showing as arrived - but a Pod just showed up and docked at my ship. My ship already had a full compliment - me (Piloting), reserve Pilot and two Marines - and I'd not done a crew transfer in.. ages. Unless it was a particularly long delay for the Pod to arrive from whenever I did last do a crew transfer (I do a "Work somewhere else for me" after I assign a Marine from my current ship to a fresh bail I've just claimed), then I don't know what that Pod was about.

Note: I've personally hired wandering crew from a Station in the past, left (accidentally) before they physically boarded the Ship - I guess this can lead to a Pod being launched from the station. That's not what happened here though. Typically, I've been docking at a Wharf and buying replacement Marines, as I need to restock Missiles on this particular ship anyway.
