So, any hints about what I'm supposed to do now? I've got a Deathbringer hull with Ray MF/HF emitters which pretty much flattens anything in the Order systems and pretty much all the best upgrades for systems. A pirate base, for example, usually lives about 5 seconds now.

So... is there anything else beyond that?

Simple suggestion (though implementation may be not so simple):

In some areas (I remember a light blue nebula background) the cursor may be hard to see due to lack of contrast with the background. Thus I'd like a high contrast version for the cursor. If the background is mostly back it should be white. If the background is light blue it should be dark red. Could be done dynamically by using the HSB model - since the Hue is using polar coordinates (red is 0┬░ and yellowish is 55┬░, for example) simply add 180┬░ and invert Brightness

Sorry, it's not fixed with 0.97c (the latest version available).

Same issue - while I was on my way to the rendezvous directly after taking the mission, I again got the notification that "I now have to search the wreckage".

Addendum: Seems to happen with all ore types. Does not happen if I sell ship parts, e.g. the engine you get at the beginning of the game.

Furthermore, the game also crashes if I initiate the sell process but cancel the sale dialog.
edit: Actually, any kind of action after getting this dialog crashes the game.
edit2: Also happens when buying stackable items from the station. Must be a problem with the dialog itself.

As the title said, the game just crashed while selling ore to the station via drag and drop and choosing "Sell all".

Can be reproduced via the following steps:

• Undock from station
• Fly to the asteroid directly to the right
• Mine it and fly back to the station
• Try to sell the mineral 2nd in the list, i.e. Cyactite (not the one needed for the mission) via drag and drop

Crash log, dumps and all are available here, under 0.97: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qdwmi0uwxy6m9cj/AAA-gIW6nZ675EkjwkI6reECa

edit: see below

Version: 0.96c SP

I got the mission to rescue some NPC from slavers from an Order officer early on. Shortly after exiting the station, I got the message: "The slaver ship has been destroyed. Now I have to search the wreckage for survivors." with the mission pointer pointing back at the station.

However, all 3 slaver ships were still there upon my arrival. I also could hail the named pirate ship but the dialog option did not work. Destruction of the ships also didn't yield the item for the mission which leaves the mission in an incompletable state.

I'm also getting the "you have a lot of tasks" dialogue from station commanders. Also, ALL of my quests' endings are repeatable - I could undock, redock and get the quest reward infinite times.
I also joined the Order faction and have yet to find a follow-up quest or the "special faction bonuses".

I like the game so far but stumbled across one annoying bug:

When I press "m" to bring up the system map while in flight, I get a maximally zoomed out version which cannot be zoomed in anymore. Which means that I can't really see the positions of pirates/enemies and have to guess which warpgate leads to where. This situation usually resets after a while but can also crop up again.
I haven't yet been able to figure out how to reproduce it.

Furthermore, one suggestion: I'd really love the ability to set a navigation marker, like: Right click on the system map and a, say, green indicator appears on the minimap, indicating where to go, just like it does now with the task system for stations. Would make finding my way around a given system much easier.

Otherwise: Heads up! Great game (though I'm really bad with spinal lasers  )
