I tried twice to take an escort mission from azek to dau and both times VO crashed.
There was no crash report pop up either time And I forgot to check the error log (sorry)
I left azek with no mission and no problems. I have taken other missions such as mining with no issues either...

Not really sure what to make of this.

When did it crash? When you accepted the mission or left or entered a sector, or at some other specific point?

If it happens again, please send a support ticket reporting when and what sector it happened.

It crashed as soon as I launched. I suspect now that the whole sector was unstable. I will let you know if I have the issue again.

Just happened again on PaKettle :}

escort mission from azek I-4 to Dau L10
Crashed as soon as I launched

Remembered to check the error log in time and found this message just before the crash

Err: AddAWACS got nil first arg; called by old lua?
