Game version: 1.0.1b
Game mode: Single Player
Bug Location: Not immediately apparent - on entry to star system
Steps to Reproduce: I've really no idea
Reproduction Rate: N/A

Bug Description: Every time a freighter jumps into this system (Order-controlled, not the capital, has a science station only), they seem to lose their pathfinding. They're all just sitting in system in neat rows near the jump gates. If they get shot at until their shields drop, they'll run away a bit and then stop. Once I got one to then run away and dock at the station but I've not been able to make that work again.

I've dropped the save game folder into my dropbox, see here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x4v6ki3p7own54k/AACIzSHTePdCD0J2UrILIZp6a?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x4v6ki3p7own54k/AACIzSHTePdCD0J2UrILIZp6a?dl=0) and I've put the output log file there as well.

Hello! Thanks for reporting!
Usually it happens when the AI pathfinder is overloaded by routes calculation - maybe some faulty route can't be resolved...
To help us resolve the issue, please upload the Logs folder (located at Documents/AtomicTorchStudio/VoidExpanse/Logs) and send us a link on it.
Regards!

Not a problem. I've dropped a copy of the Logs folder into the same dropbox link in my original post.

I was doing pretty well in that save - if I went on a killing spree and cleared out all the freighters, would that resolve the problem within that save?

I've looked at logs and can't found the source of issue, but I can see that pathfinder is overloaded... so we will debug it and try to reproduce the issue - thanks for the provided savegame!

Sure, but it may be any NPC in the star system who overloaded AI pathfinder... but usually the issue is only for current star system, so if you go to the another star system, it should be resolved.
