[bug] Lost ship replacement issue

Post by Sp0ngeB0b »

Hi.
Once my trader has been rebuilt and goes to its assigned station (en route), the trader is then removed from the station trader role and sits idle on the default hold position order. This problem only occurs when there is only a single trader assigned to the trading role. Once I add one or more traders to the station manager's trader role then the Lost Ship Replacement functionality runs perfectly whereby when the newly reconstructed trader ship arrives at its respective station it is automatically reassigned to its old role.

Is anyone else experiencing this? It seems odd to require at least two traders per station manager to run correctly but it's not the end of the world.

Very much sounds like a bug. When the last ship in a wing is destroyed/removed, it is possible the role information might be lost since the wing could be assigned a different role at this stage if the player was manually replacing it.

Possibly an edge case that was missed as people were likely testing the lost ship replacement with large wings (carrier wings, stations with dozens of subordinates).
