OK, bug swatted. Version 2.0.8 is now available which fixes the issue with Solar Stations not being dockable. Thanks again for the report.

That was quick - I just noticed 2.0.8 in the manager now.

Yep, works. Thanks for the swift action with the bug-swatter.

I am not sure if this is your territory or not. A couple of times when I've been off to collect the UPS containers shed from a ship, I've tried toggling the space compass to get the direction to the witchspace beacon ... no "W".
I don't have a save game, and I'm not sure it's a consistent bug or even your bug. Will keep eyes peeled.
I don't normally have grounds to look for the W beacon, except when I'm trying to track down a UPS pirate.

Small bug fix version 2.1.1 now available.

That's odd - theoretically it's nothing to do with UPS Courier. I believe Thargoids might attack and destroy the WP beacon, but I haven't experienced that myself.

<nods> They seem to enjoy doing that.

BUOY REPAIR is your friend. It will not only replace destroyed buoys quickly but will set up temporary replacements while the new buoy is being deployed. Buoys being replaced will still have the standard letter designation on your Advanced Space Compass but they will not have a standard full name description.

Hmmm. I've just passed through the recent nova system -Wossname/G4.

That suggests an experiment.

Another bug, which I think is in UPS_courier.
I've updated the thread title to reflect the current version.
First - does UPS courier offer the "Planet {X} has had {a disaster} and needs {many} TC of {stuff} delivered" missions. If not, it's that OXP's problem.
The bug : I arrived at Planet {X} with {less than "many"} TC of {stuff}, and drones came along, hands shook tentacles and hopes for swift delivery of the remaining TC of {stuff} were expressed.
Then I notice that there are a substantial number of TC of {stuff} on the F8 market screen. So I buy it, launch, do a back-flip, get docking clearance, land ... and hands shake tentacles, fulsome thanks are expressed for the remaining {smaller number of} TC of {stuff}, yadda, yadda.

I'm pretty sure that's not meant to happen.

When I try a second time, the pseudo-random number of TC of {stuff} on the F8 screen is zero - perhaps there is checking code in there, but it misses checking on the first arrival at the station?
