On both the CAV and SP6 multiplayer servers, I spawn inside of battleships when I load my game. This happens to me almost every time, if not every time I am destroyed, or when I initially join the server. This happens regardless of when I last saved the game.
This does not happen in single player.
I haven't seen anyone else mention anything like this, perhaps it is unique to my save file somehow.
When I say I spawn inside a battleship - I mean exactly that. I am occupying the same space as the ship, and if the ship is hostile it can even fire on me I usually just jump to get unstuck from colliding with the inside of the ship over and over again.
Any thoughts? I'd hate to lose my ranks and stuff making a new character.

Will do - at work right now but I'll shoot it to him later on today.
[edit] That didn't take as long as I thought it would. Back at the machine now and I am preparing to send the profile
Thanks for the advice - see ya out there!

Probably no need to send the profile, but if you do, I'll keep it handy for testing against. I should be able to pin down the cause and fix it for the next update.

Thanks Vice, I have sent the profile. Have to say it's a little unsettling when the Federation can just *plop* ships on top of me
I hope they don't share this wormhole technology with others!

Thanks for the profile, it helped a lot in pinning down the bug, which was very elusive. Took me pretty much all evening to find it and it turned out to be related to your single player fleet ships. One of the ID's matched an ID used for the capital ship in multiplayer, so the game would mistakenly place it at your location due to not properly accounting for the active multiplayer mode. I have fixed this for the next update and have confirmed it now works correctly with your profile. I hope to have the next update available sometime in the next week or two. In the meantime, you can dismiss ship #3 in your fleet (third one over in the formation row when you order them to form on you) and hire another different ship to take their place, which should solve it until the next update becomes available. I can also probably get you set up with a pre-release test build before then if you want to give that a try.

Poor #3 - he's not going to make it on his own.. I even had to tell the poor guy when to refuel/reload
Great work finding that one - I really appreciate you and the rest of the community here..
Also, I certainly do want to get set up with a test build! Bugs seem to gravitate toward me, so that sounds like a win-win!
Now, off to give #3 the bad news, then try to get a good night sleep without thinking about how he's going to feed his poor family.. ugh.. and christmas is coming too... maybe I should just deal with the cap ships.
