this has happened only once so far and it was when my home system was one space from the edge
Siege of Centauri

Umm...if you clicked on it in the ship list, did it select it (and show its info in the little display in the lower right hand corner of the sector map)?

I just got this. The USS Hummingbird started in the orbit of Sol (the first time I have ever seen it start
there). It appeared on the ship list. When I told it to leave orbit it vanished, but was still in the ship
list and clicking on it in the ship list showed it in the space for the currently selected ship. Since it
was still invisible, I had no way of knowing where it was, so I right clicked the tile adjacent to and NE
of Sol. I got a trap 5 with the following exception data:

The only saved game stuff I might have is the autosave data, which I am copying now just in case it might
be of use. If so, let me know where to send the files.

Cheers,
Jack

The autosave data allowed me to recreate the trap 5 three times in succession. Cari, if you have any trouble recreating
this problem let me know. I have the autosave preserved.

Cheers,

was this with SOL on the very edge of the galaxy?
Reply #8 from Stardock Forums Top
You know, just send me the file...it'll be easier than searching through the map file.

SOL was on the second tile to the right of the very left edge of the galaxy.

I am sending the files I think you want: the save file and the save folder.
I had renamed them to preserve them so you may have to receive them with
the correct name.

Cheers,
Jack
