Hey,

I restored it. Was a game bug.
Anything you can still remember here?
For example: Did you move the ship right before you logged out? Anything you did, notice before?

This is the first of many tickets about “deleted structures” that we will link (once again) for the devs to check. So as much “interesting” information you can give the better.

Thanks for your help

I had it docked to another vessel. Really nothing else. I looked up some stuff on the net and they say server restarts can wipe vehicles docked to other vehicles so im assuming thats what happened. Because of CPU limitations and carrying capacity I designed a space station cv that has all cpu into massive thrusters in two directions that I can use to warp everywhere and carry as many ships or fuel as I want. However Ive been leaving my ships docked to it upon logging out and this is the second ship thats went missing. I would urge everyone to not leave ships docked when logging out.

it is possible that some parts of your ships (besides docking pads) are touching each other (perhaps not visually), but game engine still consider them touching (the way you can walk at half-blocks but game still considers them full blocks)…game normally tries to move ships away by bouncing them around, but given that they are docked, perhaps game instead decides that one object being inside other is illegal (by game engine) and then removes one of the objects/ships
this problems did multiply considerably after devs decided to mess around with colliders in game (remember all the ships that were running away from people for months?)

this is just a theory that i heard from few people that know a bit about unity, i personally can only take a guess about it
