Terran Cadet

There are no error messages associated with this bug.

With the Terran Cadet start if the player still has -15 with the Paranid faction they choose then when the player claims the first Hyperion the Theseus is not on board.

The player can avoid this by increasing their reputation to -9 before the Trinity docks.

Can you upload a save for us to test this with, please?

I can confirm this bug. It happens because the rep for the Terran Cadet is -15 and so you don't have landing permission for the Paranid faction you chose. This means the Theseus (which already belongs to the player before the first Hyperion is claimed) does not have permission to be docked and so the game doesn't spawn it.

This is similar to the bug where if you start the game with an HQ that has no dock then the Dart will not spawn.

To avoid this bug the player should get to rep of at least -9 with one Paranid faction before doing the Hyperion mission.

I just realize I was the one to originally post this. I feel a bit silly.

The bug is easy to reproduce, just have -10 or worse rep with the Paranid faction and the Theseus will not spawn.

The bug may be easy to reproduce, but we have to be efficient with our time, since there's an endless amount of other reports new and old that we also need to handle.
We'd need to play through the Hyperion Plot, which takes a bit of time.

Even if it's literally after starting the game, it still helps to see the exact scenario, which may affect more than meets the eye.
