I saw this reported a few times on the Steam forums but didn't know if it was unique here.

When jumping from system to system, my Freighter crew changes species. All my stuff is still there and my freighter's interior seems to be intact, but all the lighting changes and the species of the crew changes to the dominant species of the system.

Anyone else seen this? Any way to keep this from happening?

I dunno ... maybe it's intentional. Like with submarines where entire crews change over?

Yes, it's probably a bug (or bug lite) but as long as you haven't developed a personal relationship with one of the crew it shouldn't matter. ;-)

I`ve not progressed to that level, but it definitely bursts immersion somewhat if it does happen without explanation. The crew should stay with you (unless something changes that the Player is made aware of) and most certainly the entire species should not change.

Devil`s always in the detail. I hope it`s just a bug.

Phew, glad (?) to know this is happening to others! I had it happen to me right after answering the call for help/being given the freighter for free, and immediately wanting to try out the freighter warp. I got so worried the bug would mess up my save, so I reloaded and ignored the call... Now I'm kicking myself, argh! brb getting freighter again

Also, IIRC the freighter warps in the past did not result in the crew "changing over." So I'd say yes, this is a bug, they are supposed to stay the same race

I have the exact same problem of crew changing based on the dominant species of the system and submitted a bug report. I, too, am somewhat relieved to see it's not just me having this issue.

I still have issues with frigates not reporting damage correctly, being unable to be fully repaired, and having blocked interiors.

But, I'm really enjoying the new release and so far the bugs are mainly nuisance and not game stopping.

Same here. Crew changes to the dominant species, and I very much agree with Socratatus about it breaking immersion, when happening without explanation.

Same here, 1.54. I don't 'mind' per se, but I have a preference to keep the crew as the race I encountered them, which was Korvax.

Yep, my crew changes too; everything else thankfully stays the same. Would have really annoyed me to skip all the free freighter mission hails till I find a good looking freighter just to get that rewritten too.

Maybe its a placeholder crew anyway and HG plans some crew mechanisms down the line where you can customize/handpick them if you want to.

Same isue here.
