Bad Rescue Mission Spawn

[almagnus1]

I had a rescue mission spawn this vessel, and I didn't realize the issue until I was basically on top of the borked vessel with the rescue ship.

For those that don't want to dig this out of the code, the game spawned a crew in the Stayputnik probe core.

The relevant part of the save file is:

Not sure if it's stock or mod related but this a well reported bug. There are about half a dozen threads about it already.

[steve_v]

Last I heard, it was USI OKS/MKS adding the default internal (which has crew seats) to probe cores that triggered this. Not sure if it's fixed yet so it might be worth a look over the appropriate mod thread.

- - - Updated - - -

Here it is, there's both a MM patch and a pull request in that thread. I'm not using UKS myself though, so YMMV.

If it's not that (and you have a version of UKS with that patch) then it's time to go mod-bug hunting...

That would explain why I have not run into this bug myself. I do a lot of rescue missions but don't use USI OKS/MKS.
