Docked with pirate, fought on their ship and got them to surrender with "Alright, alright, you win". Then suddenly their ship disappeared (undocked?) and the pirate and player character also disappeared with player ship appearing to spin in space. When centering camera on player it centers on the previous position which is now empty space.

Can you please upload the ZIP from a save shortly before this happened?

## About savegames
__Easiest way to find them__

The easiest way to find them is to:

  1. Launch the game
  2. Open the Options menu
  3. Click FILES
  4. Click the button next to SAVES to open that folder in your file browser.
  5. Select the resulting file.
Where to find them

In Windows, they can be found under APPDATA\LocalLow\Blue Bottle Games\Ostranauts
In Linux they can be found under $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1022980/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Blue Bottle Games/Ostranauts/Saves

What's in it?

Ostranauts keeps a folder for each save (Captain Joe, autosave_27_captain_joe, etc.), and in each folder are at least one zip file and a few other files:

  • saveInfo.json - save metadata like name, dates, etc.
  • portrait.png - a snapshot of the captain's face
  • screenshot.png - a snapshot of the ship
  • <folder name>.zip - a zip file containing the latest save file for the slot/captain
__How to share save files__

If you wish to share a save file (e.g. for reporting a bug), usually the best way is to upload that zip file to a file sharing site like Google Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive/etc., set it to be visible to anyone with the link, and share the URL to that file.

Unfortunately don't have any recent saves before this happened. Guess I should enable autosave next time. Another thing that comes to mind is maybe it was a high speed collision with another ship that somehow didn't trigger nav prox warning, which would explain the spinning. I remember panic decelerating before docking because the pirate was approaching way too fast (300-400 m/s).
