So in a first for my group, we were hit with three bugged and failed missions tonight.
1st was a defense missions where bugs stopped spawning and missiles stopped shooting.
2nd what the extraction vehicle left immediately when one person entered it.
3rd what no one could get in the shuttle.
This was a serious WTF night, we lost so many samples. While I appreciate the devs, stop trying to balance and fix some bugs.
Could it be a hidden/removed feature where the Pelican can take damage, but leaves instead of being blown up? That also explain why someone mentioned that dropping on top of it also triggers this bug.
