Sorry if this is too much of a newbie question for you, but my mission keeps crashing, and I have to get it working.
Here's what happens: The missions running perfectly, and then, when it hits a certain point where a freighter jumps in, to dock with an Arcadia, the game crashes.
OK, I ran error checker, nothing, I changed the freighter's class, nothing, so what could it be?

[aldo_14]

Sounds like it could be a docking point / path error.... have you tried it with a different ship docking with the Arcadia?

[LAW ENFORCER]

Read the last line aldo

I carn't help (there isn't any cargo iin it is there)

[aldo_14]

Oops.

Maybe it's the Arcadia?  (clutching at straws here   )

[LAW ENFORCER]

any MODs going?

[Roy fokker]

Well it dependes on the docking you gave it in the initial orders or in the event screen cause that could be one or you've done the wrong type of dock in events or you've given it the information wrong(you might have told the arcadia to dock with the freighter and Not freighter to arcadia.Well here's something simple just go to it's initial oders and just give it the order to dock with the station the computer will sort out the docking points) hoped that helped

[Unknown Target]

That's what I did.
But, I have a couple MODs (my own) bit they're not being used in this mission.

[Slanker]

Maybe you hit the unit limit?

[Raven2001]

That happened to me a couple of times now, not only with the Arcadia, but it seems it is some kind of buf... I'm afraid that you will have to change the mission a bit... maybe putting the ship docked since the beggining... it worked for me...

[Unknown Target]

Hmmmm...well, the ship warps in, THEN it wants to go dock, but I also told it to follow waypoints at the same time, and it crashes right when it comes in, so maybe that's it?

[Black Sheep]

Deactivate ALL of your MODs...they might not be used in the mission, but they effect the whole game...

[Unknown Target]

Hmmmm...well, all other missions work, except this one
By the way, if anyone wants to get the first 2 missions for my campaign, head over to the address in my siggy, they should be there.

It could be that you need to get your prioritys straight (Analazon made a pun!! Woohoo!). Make sure that follow waypoint and dock with arcadia have different priority levels. It could crash if it is trying to dock and follow waypoints at the same time. If you are assigning the dock orders in the inital orders screen, then make sure that the 'dock with arcadia' has a lower priority level than 'waypoints once'. That way it will do waypoints first. If you are using events to change it, then you need to do an ai-clear-goals first. That will be 896.95 please  .

that's one way but you would want it to do the waypoint first then the docking, you would just change them round, and if you are using events you just tell it to dock then give it a chain to do what ever(transfere, exchange etc) then an undock command followed but ai-clear-goals the add-goal waypoint once
